Oh, boy! I've been a little crazy with work and Thanksgiving and everything.
Finally, here's a review of the past rehearsal:
Our warm-ups included dancing a twist (Reet Petite was the song) and humming along with the YRCC singing O Shenandoah. Such a beautiful song, and the most wonderful arrangement and performance by us!
1.Wonderful World: we decided to increase the volume on Bright Blessed Day to create greater contrast with Dark Sacred Night. Stunning.
2. Blue Skies: we got other people to try the scat solos!!! And, it was fine.
3. Thank you for the Music! We did the whole section C! We will continue to work on this, but wow, is it ever coming along nicely!
4. New Year Blessing: We did the parts on the second page and thought about how to make it longer, maybe by having everyone in unison for the whole thing, with no fermatas, straight-up and then repeating with the fancy ending with all the drama. Donna could come up with a straight-up accompaniment for the first go-through.
5. Magic of Winter: it's been cold, but we're not really ready for winter. Still, this is so pretty!
6. Why We Sing: we got 4 new, different soloists to try and it was nice! You can do it! Especially, when it's just for us, and not an audience. Maybe some day?
Next week:
6:45 Small Group: There's Still My Joy
bring money/cheques for the Nov. 18 singalong show at RHCPA
Renate will be absent, but Donna and Lauren will lead you wonderfully
Social (decaf)Coffee Break - Yay! enjoy your social time. I'm sorry to need to miss it.
