Announcements:

We have a spirit night TODAY! At Bass Lake Draft House, from 11 am -midnight the chorus will receive 10% of all profits from anyone who goes! You do not even have to show a flyer! Go out to dinner after your Musical Strike or after a sports practice!

Next Monday is our spirit night at Blaze Pizza.  You must show the flyer for this one and the flyer can be found online on the chorus website.

In exactly 1 week from today we will have MPA at Meredith College.  It is extremely important that all of you come on the field trip and for those of you still owe a field trip from, you MUST turn it in ASAP.

We also need you each to be present in class every day this week.

We want to put our best performance on stage next Monday morning, so let’s focus and do everything we can do to be our best in rehearsal this week.

Rehearsal:

We fixed generally our spacing and windows on the risers

Sure On This Shining Night
-we video recorded us singing this piece and the recording was sent out over group me and remind for us to look at and come up with things we can  potentially fix

Way Ov'r In Beulah Lan'
-sopranos, drop your jaw on the word "time" to produce taller vowels
-hold the very first "we", don't chop it short
-have less of a "t" sound  in the phrase "good good"
-we video recorded us singing this piece and the recording was sent out over group me and remind for us to look at and come up with things we can  potentially fix

Praise to the Lord
-men take a breath in measure 21 between the words "Lord" and "who"
-in the phrase "shelters thee under his wings, yea", the word "yea" should be pronounced as "yay"
-altos, don't scoop in measure 22
-add an "n" on the word "seen"
-breathe after the words "seen", "seen" (again), and "wishes", in that tricky part at the bottom of the second page
