Why Are Mass Rehearsals So Important?

There are MANY reasons why Mass Rehearsals are important.

At most mass rehearsals:
We reinforce and polish music we have learned in our individual choirs
We learn where "our pieces" fit into the whole
We learn to blend the sounds of each choir into an even more beautiful combination of many colors
Our younger singers learn from the example of our older singers
Our older singers are captured by the refreshing energy and enthusiasm of our younger singers
We learn where to stand, when to move, etc. This is extremely important for the youngest singers and insures that concerts will run smoothly.

But, the upcoming series of mass rehearsals (4 - 6 PM)
Thursday April 17
Tuesday April 22
Tuesday April 29 (NOTE CHANGE from Thursday May 1)

are important because during these three rehearsals we are actually going to be LEARNING our mass pieces. For many reasons, several of our choirs have not had a chance to work much on these pieces during our regular rehearsals. We will have the FUN of learning together, and the process will be MUCH FASTER!!

We will be learning a Sound of Music medley and what we hope will become a signature piece of Angelica, May You Be Blessed. Both of these pieces have been arranged or written by Nancy Grundahl and promise to be LOTS of FUN!!

PARENTS of YOUNGER SINGERS: If you have a Sound of Music recording at home - please listen to it every day. If you don't have one, you might like to get one, and/or rent the video/DVD. This is such a fun musical, I know your family will love it.
