Monday, March 10th was fun and we got lots done!
We learned the ending of In My Life and sang through the whole piece. If you have a chance, please review your part. It was mostly good, but needs some work.
We learned pages 8- the end of Jamaica Farewell and sang through the whole thing. It already sounds really good. We won't have parts recorded for this, but will have the accompaniment up on line soon. Many people know their parts really well from past performances. Listen to your neighbours. Sopranos and Altos, remember to sing softly and make sure you can always hear the tenor/bass part.
We learned the beginning of They All Call it Canada, so now we're finished and just need to review. It's sounding excellent! Review your parts on this one. It's going to be our finale, so we want it to be really strong.
We sang through Banks of Newfoundland twice. It gets better every time. Keep working on it.
Song for the Mira: we learned the oohs and they're beautiful.
Nella Fantasia: we only had time to sing through a couple of times. Trix sang Mary-Ellen's solo and it was lovely. I love this song. Please review your parts at home, especially the oohs at the beginning.
Next week, Monday, March 17th (St. Patrick's Day: Who's bringing the green beer?)
Northwest Passage is meeting at 6:30.
Renate and Sapphire will also do some recording, so we'll have to work out how to share the room. Our recording should be quiet, since we're mostly doing parts, which Sapphire does with headphones on.

- Nella Fantasia pg 9/10, any other fixing

St. Patrick's Day, yeppppppp. I didn't know that St. Patrick's Day is popular in Canada. I am from UK and it is a lovely day to celebrate with Guinness.
