Notes for Monday July 2

Hi everyone!


We wanted to give you a heads up about rehearsal on Monday so we can have a really productive and efficient three hours! We will work specifically on the new movement and blocking, some focused music work on Woods, Kiurun Tie and Making Waves, and then do a full run through of the program. We are treating this rehearsal as a dress rehearsal since we will not have any time to rehearse on July 6th other than a quick sound check. Therefore, it is IMPERATIVE that everyone is present on Monday for the WHOLE rehearsal. This concert will earn us $1000, so we need to deliver as professional a program as possible! 


We have updated the previous blog post with the Mahone Bay program order to include when we will be picking up and putting down folders etc. Soloists have also been noted in this list. For your convenience, here are the lists of memorized pieces and unmemorized pieces:
