Thank you all for your hard work on Sunday, and for a lovely performance at the nurses' convention on Tuesday (even if we are apparently part of Dalhousie University now!) We are so thrilled at how beautiful the ensemble is sounding, and how quickly you are picking up the choreography for the show. ALL STARS!
Here's the plan for Sunday:
1:15-2:25 By Call Session - Theatre & Text Workshop - All As (S1a, S2a, A1a, A2a)
2:30-5:30 Full Company Rehearsal
This Sunday, we'll be working on the following: I Himmelan (memorized with movement), Agelpta, Illumina, Ave Maria (music and movement), Magnificat (music and movement). We will also be doing a RUN of the Prologue + Polaris at the end of rehearsal!!!!!! Yeah!
To that end, please be listening to Aglepta and Magnificat to help with your familiarization of the pieces. The YouTube version of Magnificat is posted on our Facebook group. Christina has posted an accessible version of Aglepta to the Soundcloud. She will also be posting a pronunciation guide for Magnificat to the Soundcloud ASAP.
Claire has posted a group video taken at the Xara retreat of the I Himmelan blocking. This video, our four rehearsals on this piece, and Erin's blocking notes from Sept 15 should be more than enough to help you prepare the choreography. If you still have questions about sections you are unsure of, remember that it is your responsibility to find a buddy in your section to rehearse with, just like with music.
Also, a reminder that choir fees are now overdue. For those who haven't paid their choir fees or made arrangements with Teresa, please make sure you take care of this. Teresa will be at rehearsal this Sunday at break time to collect any outstanding fees.
Thank you all for being so flexible with the changes to our set lists for the Canta Mara show. With that in mind, here's the updated memorization schedule for the next several weeks so you can be thinking ahead:
Updated Memorization Schedule:
| Sept 29 | I Himmelan, Warrior |
| Oct 6 | Ave Maria, Magnificat |
| Oct 20 | Aglepta, Illumina |
| Oct 27 | Royals |
