Hi Everyone,

Nice rehearsal Thursday! We concentrated on a lot of our toughest
music, and are really starting to sound more comfortable with most of
it! We've gotten through most of the major pieces for the concert and
will delve into the others this week.

At this Thursday's rehearsal we will be having sectionals. I'd like
each section to focus on their parts in "I Love My Love" and "Spring
Plowing" specifically. If there are other pieces you'd like to look
at please make a note of which ones and which sections of the pieces
in particular. Section leaders, please be ready to help rehearse your
section! If you're not a strong piano player that's ok, find someone
who can at least plunk out the starting pitches. Basses, please be
ready to work on your part in "Holly Jolly Christmas" as well. I will
be visiting each sectional to check on progress and help out with
problem areas.

I'm in the process of making a second batch of CDs for everyone which
will include the music that wasn't in yet when I made the first
batch. I'm going to try my very hardest to have it ready by Thursday,
which should be possible barring any unforeseen technical difficulties.

Besides sectionals we will also learn the chorus part for "Seeds of
Love," and review "Autumn Leaves," "Stars Shall I Find" and learn the
2nd half of "Good Old Summer/Ballgame."

At the end of rehearsal, I will be meeting with small group II to
start working on "Shine on Harvest Moon." This will also be included
on your new cds!!

Great work everyone!
Brittany
