Solstice Concert Week Rehearsal Notes – Part 1

December 19, 2013

 

VCS gets into position at VBC

A full house! And it takes a few minutes to figure out who will stand where and when.

Concert week’s rehearsals are about polishing the music, incorporating the guest musicians, and practicing the logistics of singing at the concert venue. What results is always a fun and interesting experience, with a nervy seat-of-our-pantsness quality that reaps many many one-liners. You know, the ones that make instant hilarious sense if you’ve ever sung in a choir, and are funny all by themselves even if you’re totally unconnected from rehearsal guts and simply come to be in the audience.

Therefore we give you the zingers of Tuesday last, in preparation for our upcoming concert:

Solstice: Light And Dark
4:30 pm, Saturday, December 21, 2013
at Vienna Baptist Church
(541 Marshall Road SW, Vienna, VA 22180).

During warm-up: “Exhale…Don’t hold in your stomach! You have permission shake it out like a bowl full of jelly!” [Read more…]
