Rehearsal Notes from 10/15

Hi ladies,

Here's what we rehearsed on Monday:

Morning's Innocent
: measures 17-41.
Vacuum: measures 60-75: Really look at the piece for next week.
Night: measures 4-12. Jessica suggested to first try conquering measures 6-12 on your own, then sing it again while listening to another part.
Landscape: measures 29 to the end.
Diamonds: measures 4-24.
Autumn: measures 24-48.
Pedestals: Please have this memorized for next week!
Changeless: We did a sing-through.
Earth: Pickup to 73 to the end, then we did a run of the piece.

Next week, rehearsal is ending at 8:30, followed by a board meeting, so please get to rehearsal on time so that we can work on as many things as possible. :)

Have a wonderful week- see you next time!

-Melanie

10/1 Rehearsal Notes

Hello ladies,

What a rehearsal we had on Monday! We did some difficult stuff but we all did a great job!

Here's what we rehearsed:

Night: working backwards from 25-18. Work on your "stars"!
Blacksmith: measures 19-23. In two weeks, Jessica would like us to have a solid beginning section (especially measures 11-17). She will be posting a sound file of SALT's performance on the BVS site: take a listen to it.
Pedestals: worked from measure 49 until the end, then did a read through
Earth: we worked on measures 53-71 and then read through to the end
Changeless: we worked on page 7
Landscape: measures 24-27
Vacuum: focused on measures 39-60, read through page 6.

We do not have rehearsal next Monday, so please take some extra time to review the above so we can have a smooth transition to the next rehearsal.

See you then- have a great two weeks!

Melanie
