NOVA Community Chorus

From Dr. Whitmire: Dear Singers-

As many of you will have heard, my mother died on Wednesday. She lived a joyous life that ended peacefully. I am doing OK.

As you know, we meet in Schlesinger tomorrow night. Please arrive by 7:10 pm. We’ll put men on the first two levels of side boxed seating: tenors 0n the right as you face the stage; basses on the left as you face the stage. Sopranos on the first four rows of the right side audience seating; altos on the first four rows of the left side audience seating. We’ll make adjustmetn as necessary. I know you will be in your most quiet, efficient, problem-solving mode, as the rehearsal must start on time.

From Dr. Whitmire: Dear Singers –
Tonight’s rehearsal will be in Schlesinger. Not in the Concert Hall, but in the upstairs Seminar Room. We will sing “Happy Birthday” to Chris Hagan, whose birthday is today!
Yours-DrW

From Dr. Whitmire: Tyler will be closed tomorrow due to flooding. We will rehearse. I will let you where tomorrow. i have requested Schlesinger and Fred is working on John Calvin Presbyterian. Yours-DrW

From Dr. Whitmire: Dear Singers- I need a few able-bodied folks to set up chairs for the rehearsal. 2 rows of twenty for those who need to sit. Those who are able will stand behind.
Thanks-DrW

Subject: WMP BI Rehearsal Sunday March 10

From Ulysses S. James: Because alternative rehearsal space was not available, and percussion instrument logistics, we will be rehearsing in Bishop Ireton’s cafeteria on Sunday.  The space has been scheduled for another group until 5 PM.  We may not be able to setup until that time.  However, I will be at the school at 4:15 PM in case we can get into the cafeteria to set up prior to the planned rehearsal time.  I’d appreciate help setting up from anyone willing to take a chance of being able to setup at that time.

I am planning on extending the rehearsal time 3 hours from the time we actually begin rehearsing.  I sincerely hope that you will stay after 8 PM if that is the case.

If the cafeteria is  still occupied prior and up to 5 PM, please congregate in the hallways, but do not enter the cafeteria until 5 PM.

Schedule:
5 PM:  Britten with chorus, Mark conducting
6:15 PM  Mac Dowell
7:15 PM  Kazik
7: 45 PM  Beethoven
See you Sunday!

From Dr. Whitmire: Dear Tenors and Basses-
Here is the music from X. (pdf) that we rehearsed on Saturday. Please listen to your recording and learn how it fits in beneath the soprano solo.
