Schedule

This rehearsal we will be “digging into” the first three songs in the cantata. Make sure you give them a listen on the tracks before hand!

This rehearsal we’ll dig deeper into the 4 middle tracks of the cantata. Make sure to give them a listen with your rehearsal tracks before practice.

The last three tracks of the work. Make sure to practice with your tracks for these before hand! We’ll be really digging into these songs – trying to work out any *kinks* still present.

Time to start getting serious! We’re going to try and do a run through of the “first half” of the cantata – all the way up to Mary’s Dream. Give all 5 songs some practice on your own before our group rehearsal. After practice we’ll have our first staging/costuming team meeting, and we’ll start game planning how the cantata is going to *look*.

We’ll be attempting to do the final 5 songs in the Cantata in this rehearsal. Give the tracks a listen before hand to be well prepared! Remember – our limited rehearsal time is for trying to “bring the choir together” – not learn the songs! After practice – anyone interested in a solo can stay after to work with me to refine your performance before the audition.

Our first REAL full vocal run through of the entire cantata. Time to find out what we’re made of! Auditions for solos will be held immediately following rehearsal. Even if you’re not trying out – if you can stay to provide the “choir” element behind the soloists – it would be much apprecated.

Depending on how well the rehearsal the day before went (Saturday) – this practice *may* be cancelled if not needed. In the past few years we usually ended up having this for the people that we’re not able to make it to the Saturday rehearsal, and to give the tech team time to set the lighting/audio/visual levels and cues.
