August 27 Rehearsal

Lots of fun last night! Here's a quick reminder of some key points

General
-be sure that cut offs are in the right spot, especially in rhythmic pieces
-keep all "ah" vowels (ground, round) more British than American for now|
-core engagement at all times while singing (pulling arms apart or feeling core engagement by how we stand)
-be very careful of final "s"s in songs, always as short and quiet as possible

True colours
-leads make sure the melody is always phrased and shaped musically 
-thinking of big picture dynamics 

Little help from my friends
-when baritones have melody, leads and tenors sing "ah"

You're the one
-leads avoid scooping up to notes

December
-think of story (happy memories that are in the past)

Put a little
-we will put the practice tracks up soon!

Killarney
-nasal tone whenever we sing "christmas in killarney" words 
-classical sound for first minor section

Fly Right
-keep it cool

Ten feet
-don't ever give more than 80% personality

Climb 
-think of a bit of "H" to make the first "every" less splatty
