Harmony Hawks Chorus

From the music team

Chad asked the music team to pass on to the chorus that he sees that you are working at home on your music and that these efforts are paying off. Keep up the good work!

Good work tonight on “In My Room,” and “Something.” We are OTM on these two pieces, so review them prior to rehearsal and put your scores aside as we do the sing-throughs. Have them at the ready if we need to refer to them.

Review from tonight’s rehearsal:

• “Something” – Really consider the lyrics. Make a personal plan on how you can convey these ideas in you face as you sing.
• “Hallelujah”: Make sure you have the Adam Scott arrangement and discard the older arrangement to avoid confusion.
• “Lullabye”: Again, make sure that you have the 2026 version and discard the previous version. This version has a large blank space on the second system. Work on the second ½ of the piece prior to rehearsal, please.

No sectional this week

Songs for next Tuesday:

• “Lullabye” second 1/2
• “Something” (OTM)
• “In My Room” from memory (we are OTM on this)
