Music Rehearsals

I REALLY appreciate how hard all of you are working on your music! We had a good rehearsal tonight.

KIDS: We will be running "Sound of Music reprise" at the beginning of every rehearsal from now on, so that it's easy for you. Since Brigitta has a lot of lines, Miss Debbie and I decided that the Marta's will do the first part of the solo, and the Louisa's will have the second part of the solo.

Some of you had some "oh, yeah!" moments during choreography today, especially during the Goatherd song. Please go back over your choreography notes. If you can't remember, ask someone BEFORE the next rehearsal.

Please continue to listen to all the songs on your CD - and do your choreography at home!

NUNS: The following solos have been decided in the opening number:
Solo #1 - Amy Buchanan (Meredith will do the solo the one show you miss)
Solo #2 - Lauren Slater
Solo #3 - Carolyn Venable

It is CRITICAL that you continue to review your Latin pronunciations! Please - this is important, and the von Trapps were not living in Texas!

During the wedding processional, I will see if we have time to get Mother Abbess and the other lead nuns up to the platform before the Gaudeamus begins. If not, you will still be singing as you climb the stairs.

CAPTAIN AND MARIA: You make me smile!

EVERYONE: I cannot WAIT until our audiences hear this music and see all of you on stage! We are at a good place right now, but this is not time to let up, so keep listening to your CDs.

As always, two things I expect:
1) Do your job
2) Be a pleasure to be around
