Rehearsal 7 July – Marcus chair
Dance!
Gonna be a nice challenge, but glimmers of possibility. Thanks to Josh and Alex for getting us started on body percussion.
Java Jive
Ok I think, some finessing expected from Rob in due course.
Havana
Ok I think.
Route 66
Homework needed on women-men call-reponse sections.
Tourdion
Introduction repeated *7* times in total, with staggered entry bottom up, sops joining for the last 2.
Verses, pipe up when you have words, down when you don’t.
AOB
Proposed to move gigs to spring and autumn to avoid summer heat and competition from holidays / Christmas events. Summer breaks for many would cause problems with prep if autumn gig too soon after, so it was agreed early May and early Nov would be good targets. Action: Louli to feed in, then poll to be circulated for next gig date.
It was also suggested rehearsals should be weekly from January to accommodate a May gig date.
Some are finding the range of different score versions in circulation confusing. Action: song sponsors to ensure score versions are up to date and appropriately labeled on website.
Feedback from summer gig overwhelmingly positive. Yay!
NB Rob now away till mid Aug.
