Weekly Update for June 30

Good work tonight on “Sweet Caroline”

We spent quite a lot of time on Sweet Caroline. Reminder to basses that we have a number of important pickup notes that need to be more assertive. In several places the bass rhythm differs from the other parts and from the arrangement we sang previously. Review these.

All parts: We are officially OTM on this song next week July 7. Learning words is the hardest hurdle for many of us, so really apply yourselves to learning the words this week. Suggestion: After refreshing your memory with the song, put the score aside and use pencil and paper to write out the lyrics, as far as you can; go back and check against the text. Cover what you’ve written and try again until you have them correctly written. Keep going forward until you have all the lyrics written correctly.

Off the Music dates:

  • “Sweet Caroline” July 7
  • “Hallelujah” July 14
