WEEK of February 8, 2026

Friends,

I'm not sure I can spend the time playing out the parts of All of Us due to the fact the voices are constantly jumping from one part to another. I'd have to make about 15 tracks just for this song. Below are the assignments and notes for this song. It's a doosy. Pencils for arrows as well as highlighters are paramount.

Soloists are #1 = Anna, #2 = Brittany, #3 = Susan throughout. Jump to regular parts when possible.

Divisi pp. 6-10
Soprano I         Melody, Suzanne, Carissa, Hunter
Soprano II        Joanna, Cassi, Vania, Lisa, (Brittany and Anna)

Baritone           Thom, Dana, David, Frank
Bass                  John, Matthew, Larry, Gregory

Pp. 11-12 - There needs to be equal balance and some pitches are repeated in other voices, so I'm omitting some and having the mezzos and bari-tenors shift.

M. 39              Baritones cross out the F# and G (they're sung by the Tenors). Only the F-natural is a                                Baritone note.
M. 40              Baritones cross out the 1st B-flat and the C (doubled by tenors)
