Rehearsal Recap and Next Week

Last night we ran through all the songs we are singing as a chorus.  Those are

Wilkommen

Give My Regards to Broadway*

My Favorite Things

Together Where Ever We Go*

Gonna Wash That Man Right Out Of My Hair

Oh What a Beautiful Morning*

*Audience Sing Along

If you do not have a copy of one of these songs, check with me or Susan Clay for a copy.  Please be sure to put your name on music you already have.

I ask that all of us take a half hour a couple of times this week to run over the words of these songs.  We will have cue sheets available, but it would look much better if we could sing the songs without music in our hands.  Since three of these are "audience sing along" songs, precision performance is not vital -- it's not likely anyone will hear a mistake we make with the whole audience singing.

"My Favorite Things" is on probation.  If after our next rehearsal we aren't feeling confident about it, we will cut it.  If we perform it, it WILL be with music.

Soloists who wish to work with Paula this week must make their own scheduled appointment because she will not attend the Thursday rehearsal.  We will still have the Thursday rehearsal 6 pm at Susan Clay's, but we will use it to go through note-by-note help on problems spots, etc.  If we have time on Friday, we may run some solos then.  Soloists, you will have a music stand for a cue sheet available during your performance.

I have made some small changes to the song order (attached to this email) so please print it out and replace your current song order.

FRIDAY REHEARSAL SCHEDULE

We will discuss and go over how we will move on and off stage.  We will walk through the song order.
