Chris Bee (tenor) and Michael Boivin (bass) will be joining us for the concerts and the retreat! So welcome!!
What
We Did this past Week:
• Disney Sidekicks - finished learning this. Starting to focus on accents and dynamics
• Send in the Clowns - continue to focus on the opening 16 measures. Once we get past those it seems to get easier. Also continue to look at this piece as a challenge to be mastered, not just a "hard song". If we can nail this, it will bring goosebumps to every audience member... and choir member.
• Hair - we will take a closer look at this in upcoming weeks. When you are going through the lyrics, think of it more as lyrics and less like a list of different types of hair.
• Sing through the following - Greatest Show, Found/Tonight, Chicago, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Electricity - we got through all but electricity.
UPCOMING THIS WEEK
AL Webber Celebration
Electricity - memory
Suddenly Seymour
Greatest Show
For Good (SSA)/We Got The Beat (SSA) - we will do this at 8:30-9pm so TB can leave.
NEW SONG
We are adding "Welcome to the Rock" from Come From Away.
I am almost finished with the rehearsal tracks and the score should be in the file by Friday.
As I mentioned yesterday, if the thought of adding one more song to your list of songs to learn and memorize is too much, please note that this is optional. Since we have already designated soloists, I didn't want to go through the audition process again.so anyone who wants to sing this is welcome. If we have everyone, wonderful, if only 10-15 people are interested, we will do that.
Solo Assignments
Please be sure
to mark these parts in your scores, so you know when NOT to sing. Soloists are
listed first with the "understudy" in brackets.
PLEASE NOTE in Time
of my Life and Chicago there are parts that were meant to be solos,
that will be sung by whole sections/choir - so please write that in your scores
as well.
