People made up their quizzes today in class if they had not previously taken them.

Rehearsal:

The Gift to Be Simple
-we ran the music with and without sheet music to better memorize it for the concert Thursday.
-y'all we sound dead. Get hype. Add energy. Use dynamics, and crescendo and decrescendo.
-at "when true simplicity is gained", altos don't overpower the tenors, they're more important at this part because they have the melody.
-the dynamics are supposed to be this: first verse-piano, second verse-pianissimo, third verse-forte.

It Takes A Whole Village
-basses please count at measures 45 through 84, because the other voice parts depend on your line to stay in rhythm.
-we ran through this piece a lot, focusing on dynamics and where to place emphasis.

Sight Reading: none :)

Homework: finish the review packet for tomorrow's written exam, and be prepared to sight read tomorrow if you haven't gone already.
