NOTES for Week of April 2 (and BOOT CAMP)

Dear friends,

I look forward to seeing you on Saturday and continuing our music making.

Regarding Boot Camp

Where:  Rancho de Calistoga Mobile Home Park Clubhouse, 2412 Foothill Blvd., Calistoga

When:   9:00 am to 1:00 pm

What to know:

• We will not be taking a lunch break. We will instead take a couple of shorter (15 minute) breaks during the rehearsal time. This will be be more efficient use of our time.
• Bring snacks and beverages (water) for breaks.
• Bring music, pencil, and your enthusiasm.
• Those interested in auditioning for the solos, plan to stay a little later.
• We will be working in sections and in mixed formations.

For Newer Members (and reminder for all)

Our concert dress:

• MEN: black suit/tuxedo, white dress shirt, black bow-tie, black shoes and sox
• WOMEN: formal full-length black dress or skirt and top. Black dressy pants are acceptable. Best if arms are covered. 

Black choral folders are used (I have an extra one if needed). 

Starting Tuesday:

We will begin working through the music in concert order. Please see attached Program

We're a month away from our concerts. Keep working on precision, musicality, and expressiveness. And tell your friends to get their tickets. It's going to be a stunning program.
