For the Tuesday after we get back from spring break - have the final section of Beatus Vir ready, pitches and rhythms PERFECTED. I want to be able to listen to you as a group, be satisfied that everyone is up to speed, and move on to shaping the music, rather than taking time in rehearsal to listen to individuals or sections. The main purpose of outside preparation is to make maximum effective use of rehearsal time, not just to see how much you can learn on your own.
If you haven't done so already, I'd still love to hear your reactions to the memorization pro/con issue and the Men's/Women's choir idea. Click one of the "comments" links and let me know whatcha think. I'll see you all at the high school choir festival this week. Have a great spring break!

my dad's choir performed on friday and they didnt do so hot. they picked up a bunch of three's. but they deserved it. he has a bunch of students that dont care and think they look stupid when they open their mouths like they are sposed to. he knows that and he tried to tell them and teach them that it doesnt matter what they think only the sound matters. so anyway, he said that they are doing better in rehearsals but still not singing as they should. three's will put em back in their place and hopefully let them know that what they are doing doesnt sound good at all. so that is all im bored right now......hangin out in my room drinkin a little (water) (you ppl assume too much) take it easy everyone.
