Notes for Church Service + Sunday Apr 27!

Hi everyone!

We hope you had a lovely Easter weekend off and got in some much needed relaxation time! From here on out we've got a busy few weeks, so let's buckle down and be the rock stars that we always are!!!

Church Service Notes

We are singing at Edgewood-Oxford United Church (3055 Connaught Ave, Halifax) this Sunday morning. The church service is at 10:30 am, so please be at the church by 9:15 am to rehearse and sing through the hymns. We are singing Lux Aeterna, Ave Maria, and Heaven Will Rise. We will be using folders - please bring one if you have one (Christina doesn't have many left because people keep forgetting to bring them back!). Dress is long black Xara dresses, black belts (Robin to bring belts), and black flats or Xara shoes. Hair should just look nice and be pulled back off your face.

Costumes

Claire has posted a doc to the Facebook group where you can sign up for a time to go to her house and try on your costume for the show. It is mandatory that everyone arrange this before the May 4th rehearsal. There are currently spots on Saturday afternoon and Monday evening slotted. If you cannot make either time, please send her a message ASAP to schedule an alternate time.

Rehearsal Notes

Full company called 1:15-5:30 pm (sop 1s on snack duty). On Sunday we'll go through a few little fixes for the show, then we'll do a run! We'll do more notes and fixes and hopefully have time for a second run-through. In the last half an hour of rehearsal, we will be doing stand-and-sing run throughs of Heaven Will Rise, Day Dawn and Apple, in order to record them for a Canada Council grant application.

This Sunday you need to bring:

• the usuals (music, script, water, pencil)
• your costume if you were able to come to a Saturday fitting / if not, please wear a long skirt
• black Xara shoes (everyone will need to have/purchase their own pair for the show)
• sheets/dishclothes, knitting, baskets (Krystal), suitcase (Hayley)

** Important ** You will all be receiving your suitcase on Sunday afternoon. You must be prepared to take your suitcase home with you after rehearsal. You will need to bring it with you to every rehearsal/performance from now until June 1. If it is rainy on Sunday (or any rehearsal/performance day), you must bring a garbage bag to put over the suitcase or be able to transport it home in a car.

Thanks y'all!!! See you Sunday!
