That being said, we still have LOTS of work to do!! Musically, the read-through was pretty rough and it's mostly because we were rusty on many of the pieces. Now is the time to kick our show preparation into high gear. By this Sunday the following pieces are supposed to be from memory:
- Wanting Memories
- Tree of Life
- Zai Itxoiten
- Les Angelus
- Da Pacem
- You Are the New Day
- Uraren Besotik
And by the following Sunday, we'll be adding In Autumn and Pen-Pen to that list! As Jordyn said on Facebook last week, Feb 1 may seem far away but it's not at all!!
So, for the rest of this week, please shore up your memorization and do global review of your music and be looking ahead to all the pieces that remain. Also, please read over the Reverberations script several times to get a sense of the overall narrative as well as your own characters and lines.
We also wanted to let you know that, for the next few weeks, some major blocking work is scheduled for each rehearsal. It is SO important to have everyone present each week. Please move heaven and earth to make sure you have no conflicts!
- Nov 25: Blocking the first half of Reverberations
- Dec 2: Reading through the script and blocking Wanting Memories
- Dec. 9: Blocking the second half of Reverberations
Finally, we wanted to remind you that our baby-sisters in Xara Youth Ensemble will be giving their premiere performance this weekend - Daughters of Fire. We hope that many of you will be able to make it out in support of them! They've worked really hard and are really excited to show the world what they've done! The performance is on Saturday, Nov 24, 7:30 p.m. at Bethany United Church.
