     For all those who missed today PLEASE MAKE A SERIOUS EFFORT TO COME TOMORROW. We really need everyone to be there since it is our last chance to practice before MPA.

Beginning 3/4

Monday 3/4
      We ran through both of our songs and finetuned them a little bit more. We also figured out the windows for the back to rows. My notes are going to be pretty scarce up until MPA since a lot of our rehearsals are just us repeating a phrase and Mrs. Patchett giving us very specific pointers.

Beginning 3/1

Friday 3/1
     We didn't do a lot today. We watched our two videos from yesterday and we took the role of the adjudicator and graded ourselves. After watching our videos we talked through some criticisms and told the class what grade we gave the choir. Some of the categories were Vowel purity, are we blending, how is our phrasing, and can you understand what we are saying. 

reminders
  • SRF is due TODAY and is already LATE it is a QUIZ GRADE
