Agenda for April 12, 2011

That was a great rehearsal this week! There are still a few things to tweak, but we're in better shape than we've ever been before a performance.

First things first: Monday, April 11 is Investiture. Please meet in Dwight at the front left side of the stage at 1:15. (If you arrive a little late, it's ok.) Dress is all-black. Bring your music, which should include the school song. The ceremony will be done by 2:20.

And now the agenda for Tuesday:


We don't have our soloists with us this week, so we basically need to check in on every movement. I will spend a little extra time with the altos, especially since they don't have the help of a soloist.

7-7:10 warmup
10-45 Laudate (This is currently our weakest piece, since it's the newest. We need to be perfect simply to match Rebecca's own perfection!)
45-55 Kyrie (I'm still concerned about rehearsal B.)
55-8:05 BREAK
5-15 Gloria (Rehearsal B is still problematic!)
15-30 Credo (Rehearsal E and G need work.)
30-40 Sanctus (we'll do some slow work again on Osanna)
40-50 Agnus (we'll just check alto/bass notes)
