CV- 3/1/17

Announcements:

Happy first day of March - in 5 days we will be singing at MPA and we only have 3 rehearsals left!

Mrs. Patchett needs 3 people with NEAT handwriting  in each class to erase all markings in their music except for their very neatly written measure numbers. Raise your hand if you can do this for her by tomorrow.

Next Monday, March 6 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 for the next 3 days.

Rehearsal:

Sure On This Shining Night
-we need more energy and dynamics
-don't have louder consonants than your dynamics (ex: don't have a loud "t" sound when we've just decrescendoed the word "night")
- the hot mess that is the top of page six into "I weep" needs to be decrescendoed more
-taller vowels all around, especially on words like "shine", "me", and "round"

Way Over In Beulah Lan'
-men, when we get into the fast part in the beginning (after the intro part), hit it, back off, and crescendo more
-when the lower parts sing "lan" and close the "n", crescendo way more into the "Beulah x4" part
-on the last page where we sing "way over in Beulah Lan, oh yes", its marked piano. So get quiet but keep the level of excitement
-the while intro is supposed to be piano... We gotta be quieter but keep the intensity
-at the very last page, don't strain your voice past the point of pretty for the sake of being loud
-we sang this piece in the cafeteria to practice singing in dead space
-turns out in dead space we need to accent "one hundred and fifty times more" -Mrs. Patchett

Sight Reading: none :)

Homework: Turn in. Your field trip forms. This is ridiculous.
