Power Weekend Details!!!

Hi everyone!!

We wanted to give you some more specific details about the Power Weekend so that you can be 100% prepared come January 5th & 6th!

To reiterate, for the Power Weekend ALL PIECES AND TEXT MUST BE MEMORIZED!!!! (with the exception of One Voice choral parts and text for Wanting Memories which you will receive at the Power Weekend). Our schedule is as follows:

Saturday January 5th from 9:30 am - 4:30 pm (lunch is from 12:00-1:15 pm; bring your lunch or money to go out for lunch)
Sunday January 6th from 1:15-4:45 pm

We will be rehearsing Reverberations all day Saturday. We will rehearse Wanting Memories and Pull on Sunday.

Some things to note:

  • We will be doing auditions for the solos in One Voice on Saturday. Please come with them prepared if you are interested in auditioning. Christina will start auditions over the lunch break at 12:45 pm on Saturday, so if you are interested, you should bring your lunch so you're ready to go.
  • We will be trying out Reverberations costumes on Saturday. Please bring a couple of options (as best as you can, two full possible outfits that you think could work for your character). Remember to consider their age, occupation, relationship to other characters. You may want to get in touch with the other people who are in your "character group" to see if you are all on the same page. We are only asking you to draw from your existing wardrobe, or borrow from a friend, not to purchase anything new at this point. You will only have to wear your costume options for the afternoon run through on Saturday.
  • We will be discussing Pull costumes on Sunday. This is the day to bring your dark coloured shawl and day gloves so we can get a sense of how they look.
  • If you missed any blocking rehearsals, it is your responsibility to meet with someone to get the notes. We cannot waste time going over things that we have already covered. 
  • Unfortunately, due to travel plans, Claire Gallant is unable to join us for rehearsal for the Power Weekend. This means that we will rehearse everything else to get the pieces in excellent shape. Then, we will have three rehearsals before the dress rehearsal to figure things out with Claire.
