- You may have water with you on stage.
- Concert dress is all-black.
- Soloists especially, but this applies to all: no leg-crossing while on stage. Keep your feet firmly planted!
General comment: anticipate tempos so that chorus comes in on time. Remember to keep those consonants ahead of the beat. Be very, very clear in your diction.
Specific comments to choir/soloists:
- #6 Julianna: make your consonants clear; we can't understand the words
- #11 "Let the triumphs": the "Let the" pickups aren't together. Be ready to sing in tempo!
- #20 When singing softly, keep the same poise as when singing loudly, using air and an open mouth. (The soft sections are coming out flat.)
- #26 Alto entrance "haste haste" can't be heard. Sing out!
- #27 Raymond: make your final consonants clear "heart" "forsake" "gods" "could die"
- #28 Ed: don't sing too softly in the soft sections; can't be heard
- #35 "Great" Put "gr" before the beat, not on it.
- #37 Cynthia: more closing consonants "When I am laid." Also, descending lines tend to go flat. Listen to the band!
- #38 Sopranos: breathe before your entrances
Please mark these comments in your part as they apply.
