Dear friends,
3 rehearsals, then the dress, then the concert. It is essential that you attend. At this moment we can playthrough our selections with about 85% confidence except maybe for Here We Come A’ Caroling. Our main goal for this Thursday is to play it through at tempo. To achieve that, you cannot read the notes as you play. Perform it like you did Irish Washerwoman. It’s all about focus.
Smooth out any passages that might be giving you a problem prior to Thursday. Ask questions in rehearsal for clarification.
