"And tonight in our sports segment we bring you live to the campus of St. John Fisher College, where the RPO is conducting their training camp and excitement for the new year has reached a fever pitch. Here's our sports and orchestra correspondent."
"Thanks, Jim. The players arrived here yesterday to crowds and cheering as they moved into the dorms. Everyone was excited to see the players taking the field for the first practice this afternoon, and many eyes were on the newest high profile member of the orchestra, their talented young bassoonist. Now the players haven't put on their tuxedos yet, but you can see most of the orchestra members wearing suits and ties as they practice scales and arpeggios on the sidelines. There are a few musicians, like the second trombone, who are nursing some minor injuries and will be held out of drills and exercises until they are cleared by a medical staff that fusses over them and then reports to the press. In the meantime, we're expecting big crowds for the night practices. There are rumors that we'll be seeing some chamber music and perhaps even a reading of a small symphony as early as next week, and as always, the players will be signing autographs afterwards. RPO merchandise can be purchased in the big tent, and we'll be providing hourly updates on the radio."
"Thanks Steve, that's the RPO at St. John Fisher all this week. If you'd like to attend a rehearsal, you'll need a free ticket from Tops or Sunoco, and the bus from one of the satellite locations costs one dollar. And now to weather..."
