Script with ALL Blocking Notes (songs and text)

Video of Run to the end of Pallaanda

Notes:

Sarah, Cecelia, Madalaine & Morgandy - work on differentiating the way you deliver your lines right before KNT

KNT
- Review long and short "A" vowels
- Review all dynamics
- Mothers, look at Daughters at the start of the piece
- M 48 remember to snap to the centre
- Letter H - walk two steps per measure, don't try to touch everyone's hands, just let it be natural

Text after KNT
- Christina will cue line for Mothers
- More antagonism between the groups, especially from the Mothers
- Daughters reactions can be varied (intimidated, aggressive etc)

When the Earth Stands Still
- Mothers, don't start touching Daughters until measure 11
- At the end, Daughters in the front should look down

Famine Song
- Be more deliberate with the "bada" in the accompaniment on the first page
- Christina would like to make more of the tempo changes, be ready!
- Alto 1s, change to an "oo" on the downbeat of M 34 (finish the word "wild")
- Sop 2 & Alto 1 carry through the bar in M 48
- This whole piece is about sensing that the storm is coming. It needs to be more ominous and fearful.
- Remember to do the "scoop" action before weaving your hands together

Pallaanda
- Some individual memory work is needed, and keep reviewing!
- When you drop your hands (after having them pressed together), it is a sharp fist and then down
