We have just 2 rehearsal before our service. I've posted below a general template of an order of service. THIS IS NOT SET IN CONCRETE. This is only a guideline. We can move elements around, (such as separate the reflections) , ad or delete, to some extent.
My goal is to get us brainstorming now so that we can be more efficient during rehearsal. Please think about:
- any ideas for solos you have
- requests for pieces you hope we do
- if you are doing a reflection, does any particular song go well with it?
- Anything I've missed
We may well need an extra rehearsal to make this smooth and high level.
Please bring you calendars Monday.
