Hello BCC singers,

 

It was great seeing you all in rehearsal last night.  As I mentioned last night, we are getting to the pointy end of the season with 11 rehearsals on our Christmas program done and only 5 to go!  Please do everything you can to not miss any rehearsals from now on.  I know that things come up but the group needs everyone in rehearsals so that we can start polishing and turning this program into the perfection that BCC always delivers.

 

We will not make it there if you only pull out your music on Tuesday evenings.  The more work each singer (and myself) does outside of the rehearsal, the further I can take the group in rehearsals in preparation for December 5th.  This program in particular, with its jazz style, will not look good if you all have your heads in your music.  So everyone needs to become much more familiar with their part.  The sooner you can do this, the quicker I can herd everyone where I want them to be to meet what I am hearing in my head.

 

At this point I am planning on following the same order as on the CD:

Please make time to listen to these tracks and sing along with them.  You will notice that the pieces we did last night, and Hark, go quite fast.  

 

Look forward to seeing you all next Tuesday, ready to start singing at 6:15pm!

 

Thanks all and have a good week.

 

Debra
