Notes: 05/13/2014

Thank you to everyone who was there and sang pretty. Great first rehearsal. For all music and choreography (and eventually blocking)...when we go over something in rehearsal, look over it and come back to the next rehearsal with it memorized. The sooner you do this, the easier this will be for you. 

Also...good job on "Little Red Hat." It's already coming together nicely. My suggestion for you two is to rehearse singing your song over and over while climbing stairs (or better yet, while doing your choreography). The more you do this the easier it will be to breathe and sing at the same time.

NOTE: I watched the playback of the videos for "Little Red Hat" choreography and while they were going over the choreography, some of you were talking behind them, walking in front of their way, blocking the camera, etc... that is considered rude and Monique has my blessing to say something to you in the future. Please DO NOT be a disruption in any of the rehearsal areas. 

The younger townspeople (kids)... you are going to be featured in "Cinderella"; therefore, you will ONLY be required to be there for "Cinderella." You DO NOT need to come to music/choreography rehearsal for any other number. I don't mind if you come to see how things are going, but you are not required. So to recap, until run throughs, the only rehearsals you need to attend are those for the song "Cinderella." That said, if you have lines, please have those memorized by the time you come back for the run throughs. Also, please go over "Cinderella" while you are not at the theatre as well. As for lines, I will try to have those handed out this week. I'll post a list. 

How are your character studies coming? Remember, I want you to come up with a good back story for your character. Some of you will also need to come up with a name. I need those by blocking/run throughs please. 

I think that's all for now. I hope to see you Wednesday when we will review what we've learned (you've memorized) and we'll work on "The Rain Song." 

THANK YOU!!!
