CONCERT and ENCORE NEWSLETTER
THIS WEEK'S GOALS


Thank you for a beautiful performance yesterday! . I appreciate your focus during the service. You looked great!
Please be sure to look over "Domine Deus" and "Hope for Resolution". You did a beautiful job for a first performance but some singers need to be and look more confident on these difficult pieces. This takes individual work.
Please be very focused tomorrow. The prep and intermezzo choirs look up to you and are watching your every move!

ENCORE
Please sing through all of your music this week so you will have it fresh on your mind for the concert. It would be a good idea to run through them on Friday and Saturday before you arrive. We will be singing these pieces for Saturday
In these delightful pleasant groves, Elijah Rock, and Edelweiss. Quartet will sing Standing on the corner.

CONGRATULATIONS
