Sunday Pops!

Michigan Pops has a longstanding tradition of rehearsing on Sundays. Pops rehearsals are a combination of music, hardwork and fun, and are held in the afternoons! During break time, we have each section (ex: violin, viola, flute etc) pick someone to compete in that afternoon's game. These can range from two-legged races, fashion runway walking, pumpkin carving and more!

Here are some of our favorite photos from past Sundays!

Are you ready for a Revolution?

Hello Popsicles, get pumped for REVOLUTIONARY POPS starting this Sunday. This semester features a new rehearsal time, an audition for our new Assistant Music Director, and of course, revolutionary music. See you in 72 hours!

Never fear, Pops isn't over!

In the Ann Arbor downtown area? Looking for something fun and awesome to do tonight?

Well no despair, Pops Small Ensembles is here! What's Small Ensembles? Every semester, Pops members get together outside of regular Pops rehearsals and form small groups. These range from string quartets to woodwind trios, jazz bands to even an acapella group. They're been working hard all semester and will be putting out a concert for everyone tonight!

Details below, and also in the Facebook event. Be sure to RSVP!

THANKS FOR A FANTASTIC SEASON!

Thank you all for coming to our Fall 2012 concert! We had so much fun playing flight-filled music from Jupiter to Superman to Defying Gravity and much more. We loved working with our talented soloists and pops musicians. Just wanted to say a BIG thank you to our fabulous conductor, Elim Chan, our e-board and most importantly our pops orchestra members! Thank you again, and we hope to see you next semester!

If you missed this season, no fears! We've uploaded portions of our concert online, so you can view them there. Here's us playing Jupiter below. Happy viewing!

TODAY IS THE DAY!

POPS TAKES FLIGHT TONIGHT!

To quote another pops member:

Today, I am going to board a space shuttle on an epic STAR TREK. First, I will go UP to JUPITER. Then, the shuttle will FLY ME TO THE MOON, where I can meet SUPERMAN, DEFY GRAVITY, and let loose the FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEES. Along the way, I may learn HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, or even meet E.T. Sound fun? All of you can do this too - come check out Pops Takes Flight! with the Michigan PopsOrchestra tonight at 7:00 at the Michigan Theater! Tickets available at the door.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

JUST ONE DAY UNTIL POPS TAKES FLIGHT!

We promise it'll be oodles of fun!
