Hi Everyone!

Great rehearsal last night! It's wonderful to be starting to pull
everything together as we head into our final week of rehearsals
before the concert! It was great to have Olivann joining us as our
accompanist as well!

Before next rehearsal, take some time to review the harder pieces
with your cds. These pieces include: "Seeds of Love," "I Love My
Love" "Spring Plowing" and "A Holly Jolly Christmas." Also review the
songs we worked on last night, paying special attention to dynamics
and text. No one should be stumbling over words at this point!

At next week's rehearsal, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30th, we'll be starting
with the beginning of the program and running as much of it as we
can, paying close attention to Spring and Summer in particular.

A few important notes:

- PLEASE make sure that you're music is now in program order in your
folder. The order was posted in one of the previous blog posts here
on the website.

- I'll be rehearsing "Shine on Harvest Moon" with SMALL GROUP II at
6pm on Monday, November 30th before the full group rehearsal at 7pm.
Please be one time!

- Anyone who has sleigh bells or jingle bells, please bring them to
next Thursdays rehearsal. We'll be passing them out to children in
the audience to ring during "Jingle Bells."

- Just an overall reminder that it is really important to get to
rehearsal on time!! Please plan to arrive a few minutes early to get
signed in and seated so we don't have to wait.

Thanks everyone for all your hard work, have a great Thanksgiving!
Brittany
