Members

Hello!  Welcome to the Member's lounge!  Links to the music that we are singing this season, recordings of rehearsals, and PDFs are at the bottom of this page.  

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:

• Greatest Show - Wow. This song just keeps getting greater and greater! Watch the dipthong vowels at the ends of phrases (Vowels with two vowel sounds... ie - "Down", "Now", "Light" etc.) make sure you hold the first sound as long as you possibly can and just add the second sound right at the end. Energy comes from articulation - not speed.

• Disney Sidekicks - please review the harmonies in this song - specifically Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. Think of the "Wave" when you are shaping phrases. You always need direction and DONT PUNCH out the off beat, or the second syllable of the words! On Hakuna Matata - I think I'd like a softer "T" so think Hakuna Madada.. or maybe Hakuna Matada. Jungle Book - needs to move. Beauty and Beast - harmonies, but also keep it moving.  THROUGHOUT the entire piece = if the phrase ends with a whole note you will need to crescendo on that note (Get louder) and then start the next phrase at a moderate volume.

• I've Had the Time of my Life - this one needs some work on the notes and harmonies. SOPRANOS - take some time to listen to the learning tracks as much of your part is NOT MELODY! Sing through the long notes with a crescendo (get louder)

UPCOMING THIS WEEK
