Hi Everyone,
I trust this message finds you all in good health. The decision to cancel our last rehearsal was not taken lightly. It was a precautionary measure to ensure the health and safety of our chorus in light of the ease of Covid spread in a choir setting. Thankfully, our preparation is on track, and this decision was the right one.
Now, we need to step up our rehearsal preparation and use rehearsal time wisely. Please review the pieces with the rehearsal tracks and listen to the reference recordings. This week, we will start “Start A Fire.” Please listen to the reference recording to familiarize yourself with the pitches and rhythms. This piece is not difficult, as much of it is unison. The rhythms will be a challenge.
One of the full-length solos for this concert is, “You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling.” Jacque will sing lead and men only will sing from a choral arrangement. The choral arrangement will be handed out before rehearsal. At 9:15 all women will be dismissed and men will stay until 9:30 to work on this piece. This arrangement is also not difficult.
Attached is the rehearsal plan for this week. Stay healthy and enjoy the weather.
