First Soprano rehearsal notes
Rehearsal Notes for December 4
Very few notes from yesterday's orchestra rehearsal. Here they are:
Universal
- Keep your eyes up: it helps connection with the audience and also the sound
Shalom
- Work the entrances
- Jane now begins conducting in 4 at measure 77 (a change from measure 80)
- Close to “mmmm” on Jane's cue at the end
Forrest I
- Let the strings help you
- Be ready to come in on the “Lux” entrances
- Put a good “ooo” on “Lux”
Forrest II
- Keep it in the body
Forrest IV
- Great! (Yay!)
Forrest V
- When Jane is focused on the orchestra, don't use that as an excuse not to watch her
What Child?
- Remember that “bum” has no vowel: it's “bm,” even if it's a quarter note (but hold the “m” for the full value of the quarter note)
Stars I Shall Find
- Watch the page turns! Turn early whenever possible (and always quietly)
- Keep it moving forward; watch Jane
