October 18 - Rehearsal Summary
Great job yesterday! We did a lot of repertoire work and I was appreciative of everyone's focus throughout the rehearsal.
Welcome Song: "Good Evening" (ABA Form - full piece without echoes)
Warm-up: slide whistle echoes, descending pentascales on "ah" (so fa mi re do)
Lonely Goatherd: learned chorus (echo singing, and then ran through); introduced coda/ending
Please note that we will not be singing the verses for this song in Prep, just the choruses and the ending
So Long Farewell: reviewed opening ("There's a sad" until "coo coo")
Baby Shark
Goodbye Song: "Goodbye Friends"
Homework: Please check out FileShare and practice singing all pieces, working towards memorization.
