Just a few reminders to help make rehearsals more successful for all:
Please don't talk during rehearsal, even if the director is rehearsing a group other than your own. Excessive talking slows us down and makes it hard to concentrate.
Some of the advice given to other sections may apply to your part as well.
Remember to bring a pencil to mark your music with instructions - and please, no pen or highlighter. (The next person who receives your music may not sing your voice part.)
If you have a question, please do raise a hand and ask the director (not your neighbor). Don't worry, the only silly question is the unasked question.
Please do try to be in your seat by 7:30 sharp, ready to warm up. Since driving in - or parking! - may be easier for folks if they carpool, we'll try to match up potential carpoolers.
Please remember that some folks are very sensitive to perfumes
and scents. Please don't wear them to rehearsals or concerts (just
a light touch of deodorant, please!)
Finally, if you know you will miss one or more rehearsals, please tell your section leader or the director. That way we know you'll be coming back!
If we all follow these reminders, we can hold successful rehearsals and enjoy a great concert.
