Rehearsal Notes 2 June 2026 We did walk through the staging of the first 5 songs. It was the first time so of course we will get slicker. We didn’t sing the first 5 songs in gig mode – instead we worked on them as we went along. We are starting to get scratchy and irritable in the run-up to the gig. Peter made the observation that at this point we shouldn’t be expecting perfection, but striving to do our best, which is plenty good enough for a performance.

A good rehearsal and focused. In general raise the scores if you are using and look at Rob straight ahead – ie avoid singing with head looking down or looking up to the clouds! 1. Bridge Over Troubled water Good run through dynamics to be worked on at ALL DAY (Sunday 17 May) 2. Singing in the Rain Start riff – sing Doots in staccato End of words like Rain, Again, Love – sing the consonant on the beat, ensure space for the rest, raise the volume slightly on the end of the word Bar 16 breathe as follows: feeling Continue reading Notes from Wrablers Rehearsal 28 April 2026→
