QUOTES FROM REHEARSAL!



-         “Wow it’s crowded – can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a
singer”


-         “Lip trills – put up your rain guard if needed to protect the
people in front of you”


-         “Note the high schoolers’ Prompt Arrival!”


-         “That was glorious, the roof lifted off (in a good way)”


-         “140 singers; I need 280 eyeballs”


-         “I’m gonna follow the spirit in the room Saturday (re: tempo)”


-         “The high schoolers will leave the stage in a Thespian whisp of
delicate motion… (especially the basses)”


-         “The Hope of Lurving”


-         “If all others have stopped singing you probably should also stop”


-         “You’ll be swooned by their singing [Megan, Wes] but not so
swooned that you miss your entrance”


-         “Wes, let fly with the joy from the back corner”


And my personal fave of the night:


-         “Concert Singers, you are all odds”
