André's Rehearsal Notes for January 7th, 2026
Happy New Year Choral Evolution!
I trust you are having a relaxing Holiday surrounded by those you love. Our 1st rehearsal of the New Year is coming up fast. I hope that you are excited working thru our new repertoire and learning your parts.
We're going to try things a little differently at the start of the season. We’ll play the rehearsal track and sing through the whole tune to start, so we get an idea of what the piece should sound like before taking it apart and rehearsing section by section. I’m hoping this will speed up our learning of the parts and how they weave together.
Please focus your practice on the following sections that we’ll look at Wednesday.
Everyone will sing the solo lines until we have a chance to audition soloists.
Lovely Day bar 57 to end
Emotion to bar 32
Somebody to Love to bar 34
Good Vibrations to bar 35
We'll also read through 2 new tunes that will be handed out at the reheasal:
Blinding Lights 1st verse and chorus
Budapest to bar 32 repeat
Enjoy your Holidays and I will see you all in Sooke on January 7th, 2026!
