Christmas Carolers,
Here are the notes from Saturday.
It is imperative that you practice at home, especially those who miss rehearsal due to other conflicts. The whole reason I recorded parts and had Bethany post them on the blog is so that people who have conflicts can get caught up. Also for people who do not read music and therefore cannot practice their part without help, this is a great resource for you. We do not have enough time in our tight rehearsal schedule to relearn every song every time someone misses a rehearsal. We will never move on to perfecting the songs if you are not willing to practice individually.
As always, I am available outside of rehearsal for questions or if you would like to meet early to go over something, please pm me on Facebook or email me at mere2086@yahoo.com.
Thank you to the people who are doing their job, I could tell some of you have been practicing, keep up the good work!
Tenors- Right now this is the weakest part, but I know all of your voices and know you can handle it. You need to remember that you sing up high, and Matt and Sam are usually singing correctly from what I can hear, so if you are unsure, sit next to one of them.
Altos and Basses- Your parts are coming along nicely, now sing out (especially Altos). Having said that, make sure no one is sticking out above the group. It should be a choral sound, not a solo with back- up singers.
Sopranos- Make sure we are blending and no child or adult is singing louder than everyone else. However, since you do have the melody, your section can sing a hair louder than Alto, Tenors, and Basses.
Next music call is Tuesday, 10.14.2014. If you are not called for blocking, you are ALL CALLED for music that day. I would like ALL SOPRANO/ALTOS from 8 to 9PM, and ALL TENOR/BASS' from 9 to 10PM
Thank you everyone for your hard work and I look forward to seeing you Tuesday for music rehearsal!
Meredith Mearns
Music Director
