Noteworthy News 3/16

Happy Sunday & pre-St. Paddy's Day greetings to you-all!  March "madness" is upon me with all things NEWSIES--(houghtheater.com ---show opens 3/26). On Tuesday night, Steve got what we thought was food poisoning. Then, as I was packing the car to leave for Virginia Friday noon, I suddenly got sick, too! Not a fun weekend, but thankful for the weekend and the chance to recuperate, and definitely happy that I'm slowly getting my sea legs back!

MUSIC NOTES:

• PLEASE work with your rehearsal tracks! If everyone will spend a little time outside of rehearsal to work on notes, then we can start putting things together more quickly and efficiently. 

•  LINK FOR TRACKS

• Registration is now closed for singers HOWEVER, we are still recruiting BASSES--especially those with experience. If you know someone, please have them contact me ASAP!

• We are no longer singing "Long Ago & Far Away"--please turn in to Kaleena

• We are also no longer singing: Simple Gifts, This is My Country, or Where Have all the Flowers Gone?--they may make a re-appearance next year as they have not been put in folders yet this season.

• Still coming: O America, 50 Nifty United States, Lift Every Voice & Sing, & the Star Spangled Banner

• AMERICANA JUBILEE: all tempos are way too fast; parts are coming

• PETER PAUL & MARY: IF I HAD A HAMMER no 2nd verse--go to 2nd ending

• Some folks have been asking about a small group---not for this season. We simply do not have the rehearsal time & we will be featuring the barbershop quartet at the CAIN CTR.

• That's it for cuts for right now--stay tuned!

MONDAY rehearsal: 

At the moment we are still scheduled for regular rehearsal tomorrow night Mon 3/16 at HUMC, HOWEVER, please be weather aware. !

We do have some potentially bad stuff moving in tonight and tomorrow. The rain has already started up here in Troutman. Stay tuned for updates.
