Agenda for April 3

It was so nice to have everyone at rehearsal last night. It was a March miracle! Let's see if we can keep that up for the two more weeks of rehearsal before our guest singers join us.

Agenda for March 27

Well, we were low in numbers but very strong in singing through the entire Requiem last night! Well done. I was very, very pleased with the rehearsal. In spite of low attendance, I had the very strong sense that this is going to be a performance to remember! Bravo!

The full run helped to identify some problems, so now we have something to go by for our remaining rehearsals as we work our way to the concert. (Yes: the concert is coming up fast! Just five more rehearsals.)
