Thank you for a wonderful last real rehearsal! You truly sounded great - Cindy sat out to listen since she won't be able to attend next week, and she said that the group sounded fantastic. Your blend and vocal tone are especially lovely.
I'm looking forward to next week's concert! Here are some things to remember:
- 6:45pm warm up, 7:00pm concert
- Wear bright colors if you have them!
- If you can, please bring something to share for our social time afterwards. Some fruit, a bag of chips or cookies, a special favorite treat, something homemade (please bring a note with ingredients listed if you bring something you've made), non-alcoholic drinks, etc. Finger foods tend to be easiest since we usually stand around and chat and mingle.
- Bring your folder of music to return to Joanna
- Look up and use your face while you're singing! Facial expression is a big part of being a vocal performer. Have fun :)
Have a good weekend and week until then! I'm heading to Brooklyn to visit my son, Max (who enjoyed our birthday video!) and look forward to spending time with him in his new place.
All the best,
Katie
