Rehearsal:

Praise to the Lord
-even consonants throughout the piece.
-the ending needs to be a full sound.
-get piano and have dynamic contrast where we're supposed to in the piece.

Sure On This Shining Night
-silent breaths throughout the piece, breathe with your diaphragm as opposed to shallow breathing.

Way Over In Beulah Lan'
-we've got to have energy with this piece despite whatever else is going on in the context of us singing it.
-we slowed down the tempo significantly; follow the tempo Mrs. Patchett gives us.
-clarified the basses note on "good" in the intro. It's supposed to feel wrong and clashy with the sopranos. 
-use the "b" in "Beulah" to kill it in the last two "Beulah"'s  on the last page.
-we went and sang this piece in the commons area to really get a feel of dead space and how to overproduce emphasis behind words.

HOPEFULLY EVERY REMINDER YOU SHOULD/WILL NEED FOR NASHVILLE:
-bring/pack a breakfast tomorrow morning to bring with you on the bus, there will not be a big breakfast stop made.
-if your family has someone that would like to see you in Nashville, communicate this via email to Mrs. Patchett BEFORE 7pm tonight. something along the lines of "I student's parent give permission for student to see person A and person B at time o'clock on 3/day/17".
-your garment bag needs to have everything you need to walk on stage. Men bring all pieces of your tuxes, including pocket squares, and ladies remember to pack pearls.
-go through the document tonight with attention to detail, making sure that you pack everything you need.
-the weather will for the most part be cold and rainy. Bring a raincoat and appropriate clothing for this weather.
-wear comfortable shoes that are appropriate for the context of whatever we're doing.
-don't forget to pack this year's short sleeved CV shirt so that everyone can match on Monday! Do not wear this particular shirt until Monday.
-don't wear sweatpants Monday. Its not cute.
-you are responsible for your belongings regardless of whether your chaperone is your parent or not.
-the police will be called if you do anything illegal. If you witness someone in our group doing something illegal and you do not report it to Mrs. Patchett, you are just as viable.
-to be on time is to be early. Be on time (early) for EVERY meeting time.
-follow all expectations.
-if you're bringing medicine and/or prescription medication on this trip, talk to Mrs. Patchett at 3:30 am in the morning tomorrow to remind get of what you take. You only have to tell Mrs. Patchett but you can tell your chaperone if you want to.
-you need to be in front of the school at 3:25 am tomorrow morning.
-if someone is picking up your car later in the day Friday, because you drove yourself to the school in the morning, they need to pick up your car by Friday night.
-after you arrive at 3:25 am, at 3:30 am you will find your chaperone and get their number, and give them your phone number.
-if you have Ms. Wood or Mr. Wood as a chaperone, see Lindsey in the morning for their respective phone numbers.
-if you have Ms. Baker as a chaperone, make sure you get both get number and Ms. Morgan's number.
-show your chaperone that you have all of your concert attire, then it can be stored under the bus. (if your chaperone isn't there in the morning, show Mrs. Patchett)
-label ALL of your bags with your name. Especially your garment bags. But for real- all of them.
-in regards to bringing movies for the bus rides there and back, label them with your name (so we can know it belongs to you and give it back to you), and make sure  it's rated PG-13 or lower.
-set 217 alarms to wake up in the morning.
-if you plan on writing critiques of the various performances we'll be attending, you can do that by bringing a pen and writing on your program. Taking notes on your phone is not appropriate in this setting.
-make sure your outfits are dresscode. (because apparently we could scar the people of Nashville with bare shoulders). But seriously- let's keep it classy.
