Just a few updates from today.
We had solo auditions today during rehearsals and I am totally impressed with the talent and the willingness of so many who tried out today! I wish I had a solo for each of them. I will be making the solo assignments shortly, but know that even if your child does not get a solo for this concert, it doesn't mean they didn't do a great job. There just aren't enough solo parts to go around this time, but there will be more opportunities in the future! I will send out emails to those who will be singing our solos in the next day or so.
Dress Rehearsal
I was hoping to avoid having a dress rehearsal prior to this concert, but since we will be in the High School Auditorium, we need to make sure the lighting and sound are working correctly. I also want to make sure the children all know where they need to be throughout the concert. I don't know an exact time yet, but dress rehearsal will be on Friday, December 21, sometime in the early evening. I will let you know an exact time as soon as I have it. THE CHILDREN DO NOT NEED TO WHERE THEIR CONCERT ATTIRE AT THIS REHEARSAL.
Accompanist for Sing-a-long
As part of this concert, we will be having a sing-a-long, but rather than dump several more songs on our already busy accompanist, I am searching for someone who would be willing to play a few Christmas carols for our sing-a-long. I have all of the music, I just need an able/willing person to help us out. There does not need to be any outside rehearsal for this. You (or they) would just need to show up at the concert ready to play. *Edit: I just found out that our accompanist has a conflict with our concert, so I am in need of someone who could accompany our choir for the concert as well. We will be singing 3 songs that will need accompaniment and they are not too difficult. Please contact me if you would be able to help us, or if you know of someone who could help us.

Thank you so much for sharing your talented children with me. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy working with them. They really are amazing and are picking up on everything so quickly. Please have them continue to practice at home. It makes a big difference if they are hearing the songs throughout the week so that we are not starting cold again each week. Here is link for the practice tracks again: http://morganvalleychildrenschoir.blogspot.com/ We only have two full rehearsals before our dress rehearsal. Please be sure your child attends both of these rehearsals so they can learn all of our songs.
