Some positives
Our sound at Tuesday’s rehearsal was excellent, perhaps because our numbers were bolstered by some Hawks returning to the nest. It was great to have Wendell Keith and J.P. McDonald. The work we are all doing at home is paying off. Keep working hard, especially on those OTM pieces. Thank you for your patience when Chad feels the need to drill down on some song; when he hears us singing so well in some section, he knows what we’re capable of and he wants to hear it consistently.
Review these:
“Something” – all voices, work on vowel matching to let the chords ring. There are many ooh and oh sounds in this song, as well as some -er endings.
Basses: We still need to be solid on meas. 21 – 22 and 25-27. When we have the downbeat solos we need to be solid. (i.e. meas. 30)
“In My Room”: The notes and words are good, so let’s go to the next lever with expression. Keep the performance plan in mind. It’s quiet at first as the speaker lacks confidence, but it quickly gains in confidence. Really watch the dynamics as the interp. rests on this. Also, keep it smooth, “painting with wide strokes.”
Reminder:
Bring names and contact information for your three guests for our upcoming Guest Night. July 14. Bring the competed worksheet to Jack Ray next rehearsal.
For next Tuesday:
- “I Believe”
- “It is Well”
- “You Raise Me Up”
- “Hallelujah”
- “Follow the Flag”
- “Sweet Caroline”

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.
