Notes for Sunday September 25 & Fall River Church Service

Hi everyone!

Thanks so much for a great rehearsal on Sunday. First song memorized & choreographed, and first scene blocked! :) Way to go all!

Here's the plan for this Sunday. This Sunday the SSAA company is called for the full rehearsal. Jennette from 3:30-4:30pm. Tenors and basses are off this Sunday.

1:15 Physical Warm up
1:25 Vocal Warm up
1:35 Tales of the Old North Music
3:30 Break
3:45 Lie Light - Blocking
4:30 DeLoitte Music

Only those singing at the Deloitte performance will need to stay from 4:30-5:30pm. Reminder that soprano 1s are on snack!

This week we will be working on Lie Light, Pakkanen, O Yo Yo, and Songbird. As per the memorization schedule, Lie Light is to be memorized for this week. However, we acknowledge that we have not had much rehearsal time on this piece - so we are asking you to do the best you can for this Sunday and to not stress too much about it! We will put in some solid time on the music before we move to blocking.

St. John's United Church Service 

Call Time: 9am (this will give us a decent amount of time to rehearse prior to the service)

Repertoire: Bring Me Little Water Silvy, Psalm 23, Morning Tide

To Bring: black folders (Christina will bring extras for those who do not have one); a packed lunch (it is going to be a tight timeline between the end of church and driving back to the city for the rehearsal so it would be best if you brought a lunch with you!)

What to Wear: Xara tshirt (Christina will be bringing extras for those who do not have one) + nice black bottoms (dress pants or a skirt) + black flats. 

Please make sure you have sorted a drive to and from Fall River!

Choir Fees

For SSAA company members, choir fees are $150 for the year or $75 for one term. You can pay via cash or cheque (made out to 'Xara Choral Theatre'). We are very happy to work with you to create a payment plan to pay in instalments if that is useful for you. Erin will collect choir fees at rehearsal, and you should speak to her about payment schedules if you'd like to do instalments. Choir fees (or arranging a payment schedule) are due Sunday October 16.

Vocal Solo Auditions

All vocal solo auditions will take place on Sunday October 2. See casting blog post for the list of solos!
