Hi Everyone,

Another great rehearsal last night! Now that you have your CDs, start
by going over the songs, and the parts of the songs that we have
already gone over as a group. This will help reinforce what we've
already started to do.

Songs to Look at:

"Star Spangled Banner," (remember the note changes we made, if you
missed the first rehearsal, double check with someone who was there
for changes made to your part.)

"Rise an Shine" this is a tricky one, start by reviewing the first
two sections that we've already looked at as a group. Basses,
remember to keep your part light and don't get bogged down in each note.

"American Folk Rhapsody" review "Cindy" and start to look ahead at
"Simple Gifts." We'll look at that as a group next rehearsal. All
parts, double check your "du du's". Those are still a little weak.
Make sure you are jumping to the right notes and getting the rhythms
correct.

"Turkey in the Straw" review page 5 through 7 that we learned last
night. We'll continue to branch out into the other sections in the up
coming rehearsals, but make sure that for now pg 5 through 7 are nice
and strong.

"Red River Valley" review your notes that we learned last night.
Baritone and Bass, focus on your part in the "refrain" There were
still some odd notes happening last night when we were singing that
section.

Keep up the great work everyone!
Brittany
