Dear friends,
We have 2 rehearsals, a dress rehearsal, and then the concert! It is essential that everyone be present.
Remember that for the next 3 rehearsals will be 7pm-8:45pm.
Please remember to let me know prior to rehearsal when you cannot make it due to personal illness or family emergency. You may text me at 434-426-1738, What’sapp me, or email.
Last Friday I rehearsed with the singers to make sure tempos are consistent. Daryl Duff was there and “O’ my! What a voice!” You’re in for a treat!
GLITCH: For The Christmas Song I discovered that the arrangement we have and the arrangement the singers are using is NOT the same, though both are by John Higgins. There is a band arrangement to go with the singers’ version (which is much simpler than ours.) I’m going to see if I can get that one by Thursday. If not a simple plan Be will be for them to sing it with piano. That would be okay.
For this Thursday be prepared to go through the program which is listed below in concert order
