Notes for Monday Oct 8th

Hi everyone! Thanks for all your hard work on Sunday. The Remembrance Day pieces are really starting to come together, and Wail is working its way back into shape! We still have lots of work to do but we are definitely on the right track! :)

For Monday October 8th, we will have a full ensemble rehearsal from 5:30-6:30 pm. During this time we will have the Unraveled Show & Tell as well as run through all four pieces for We Remember. Note that Zai Itxoiten must be memorized for Monday evening. We will have a quick break and then Wail rehearsal will continue on until 9 pm. During the Wail rehearsal we will pick up where we left off on Sunday to run the second half of the show with fixes, and then we will run the entire show. You will need to bring your skirt to rehearse in; Robin is coordinating costumes for Wail so if you do not have a skirt please be in touch with her ASAP.

For singers who are not doing the Wail remount your October schedule looks like this:

Monday Oct 8th - 5:30-6:30 pm (you are welcome to stay and watch the Wail rehearsal)
Sunday Oct 14th - no rehearsal (you are welcome to attend the Wolfville concert at 7 pm)
Sunday Oct 21st - 1:15-4:15 pm (including solo auditions for Unraveled)
Sunday Oct 28th and onward - regular rehearsals from 1:15-4:45 pm

WAIL REMOUNT INFO

Notes from Sunday:

• Christina's biggest musical note is that it is crucial that everyone must watch her for tempos as much as possible given the blocking.
• This week, everyone must review the Wail Instructional Video to double check entrances, exits, blocking notes, and timing. This is the fastest way to clean up these things without having to go over them again and again in rehearsal. The video can be accessed here: https://vimeo.com/47284795
• In addition, everyone must review the Wail script so that they know their speaking lines as well as all cue lines. Cue lines are the lines that signal your speaking text, a change in blocking, or a new piece of music. The script can be viewed here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ya0mmcbGxcq3ydv366jew0ZsacqZmKZuul7Z5LbShuk/edit
• Remember that in the ATF space in Wolfville, Christina will be located front and center, so certain pieces that were slanted to one side will now be performed face on (Altos in Making Waves, Kiurun Tie, Nocturne, Woods)
• Please check your email today for confirmed information about solos and who will be giving what pitches. 

Info for Wolfville show:

• You are responsible for organizing your own drives to and from Wolfville.
• Call time is 11:30 am in Wolfville. We have to work through the show in an entirely new space and coordinate with lighting, so the early start time is imperative.
• We will have a supper break from 4-5:30 pm. If you decide to go out to eat in Wolfville, make sure you let your server know that you have a limited timeframe.
• Hair/makeup/show prep begins at 5:30 pm. 
• Show at 7 pm.
• Performance should be done no later than 8:30 pm, and then dressing rooms/backstage will have to be cleared and everyone is expected to stay until the venue is put back as we found it.

Thank you again for all of your hard work and XaraLove! Have a wonderful long weekend and we can't wait to see you Monday night!
