Notes for Sun Jan 25 + Memorization Schedule

Hi everyone!

Thanks for a great rehearsal on Sunday, and welcome back Christina! We are looking forward to making lots of progress on Fatty Legs in the coming weeks, including working on Edward's piece this Sunday.

This Sunday

We are going to also include some rehearsal time over the next few weeks on music from the CD to help introduce our new singers to the music. It will be performed at our CD launch party and various other events. Newbies, please make sure to be listening to this selection of pieces on the Soundcloud to help prepare yourselves.

Here's the plan for rehearsal:

1:15-4:30 pm  Fatty Legs rehearsal
4:30-5:30 pm  CD music rehearsal (Northern Lights, Here on these Branches, Pakkanen, I'll Give My Love an Apple, Songbird)

The full set list is the above pieces plus Pseudo Yoik Lite, Tabula Rasa, Kiurun Tie, and Snow.

Alto 1's are on snack this week!! (excellent work last week Sop 2s!!)

Reminder that all planned absences for this show preparation period should already have been submitted to myself, Christina, and Erin via email.

Music Memorization

As you know, there are only five pieces of music in Fatty Legs. Because there are so many other elements of this show (text, narration, dancer, choreography) it means that we need to work hard to get these pieces totally solid and memorized ASAP. It will mean that we can be much more productive in rehearsals when working with Lisa and Sarain. With that in mind, here's the memorization schedule for this show.

February 22
My Name is Olemaun Pokiak (Edward's piece) AND Snowforms must be memorized
By the end of this rehearsal, all five pieces must be recording quality (aka the other three pieces don't need to be memorized but they must be absolutely SOLID with no issues)

March 1
Noviori Ani memorized

March 8
Womanly Song of God memorized

March 15
Nukapianguaq memorized

Tour
As we have mentioned in previous rehearsals, we will be undertaking a tour throughout the Maritimes of Fatty Legs from May 3-13, 2015. We need to get a sense now of who is available and interested in doing the tour. Christina will be creating a poll that she will post on the Facebook group. Please respond to this poll no later than Sunday February 1st.
