Here on These Branches Abridged Choreo

Hi everyone!

In an effort to make things go smoothly tomorrow, here are some choreography notes from the abridged version of Here on These Branches. There will be a number of times when the director will just ask us to run the piece from start to finish and this is what we will do for choreography unless instructed otherwise:

mm 13 - 32: choreo as in original version

• dragonfly #1 all three groups from mm 13-23
• transition to dragonfly #2 for S2s & As from mm 29-32

mm 49-65: choreo as in original version

• dragonfly #2 for S2s and As from mm 49-56
• dragonfly #1 for all three groups from mm 57-65

mm 117-180: slightly modified choreo

• sing from 3 group formation from mm 117-132
• move to V formation at mm 133-177 (note that bars 171-174 are cut)

mm 181-end: choreo as in original version

We will likely be tweaking some things on Saturday (particularly in mm181-end) so they look good on film, so just be prepared to start with this outline and then change/add things in! :)
