Thursday Thoughts

Thank you all for working so hard Tuesday night. We are seeing the results in the music and with two rehearsals to go (next Tuesday and the dress) we have the time to sing through the program a couple of times. At the risk of being obvious, the key to success in this program now will be reviewing what we did Tuesday night, checking the places where you are having individual challenges, and committing as much  of it to memory as possible.  The rest is listening and being aware not just of your section but all the other sections in the choir. I was excited after this rehearsal as I am realizing the musical possibilities of us singing this program at St. Patricks. I am excited as we once again get to share a concert with the youthful enthusiasm of Xara. I am excited as two composers for whom I have tremendous respect will come and hear us sing two world premieres of their pieces.

So as you continue to study, work, and memorize, please remember the following:

- please use every opporttunity to tell people about the concert. Sell those tickets! I sent an email to the SNSC in preparation for this Saturday's Mozart Requiem rehearsal, letting the singers that you would have tickets at the rehearsal to sell.

- Tuesday's rehearsal is at St. Patrick's on Brunswick St. Parking will take longer than at the MCPA so allow enough time to find the church and get parked.

- the Saturday November 6 dress rehearsal will also be a photo shoot and concert dress is required.

Have great week and see you Saturday.
