A Few Things

It's me again! Ya'll better get used to it because this is how it's going to be until mid-April! Here are some things brought to my attention:

LISTENING TO MUSIC: If you'd like a chance to hear the Conference Center (original production) recordings again, you can do one of two things: 1--- buy a copy for a little over $10 at the Distribution Center on SA Temple grounds 2---ask to borrow mine to burn to your computer, ipod, phone, whatever. In borrowing mine, I expect it to be back in my hands by the next rehearsal so someone else can borrow it again. Plus, you better be nice to it, since it's my personal copy. ;)

FACIAL HAIR: Men, grow it out unless you are JOHN, DISCIPLE, or SAMUEL. Everyone else may attempt to grow it out. If, during this process, it looks kind of strange, I might ask you to groom.... please, please, PLEASE don't be offended.

REHEARSAL SWITCH: I would like to switch scenes on March 10th and 12th. SO---- on the 10th we'll be working on Scenes 3.1 and 3.2--- the 12th from 9am-12pm I'd like to work on finishing 1.2, 2.2 & 2.4. Then we'll work on 2.3 and 2.5. THEN EVERYONE COME AT 1230 to work in adding extras to a few scenes.

As for TONIGHT we're working on 1.3, 2.1 and Cleopas' part in 1.2, maybe 2.2

Thanks all, I really appreciate your willingness to be apart of this production!

Track Listings and Next Rehearsal

Now that everyone's been given a few days to process the first rehearsal, I realized I forgot to mention a few things:

1. If you did NOT make it to this past rehearsal, come for the first part of THIS THURSDAYS rehearsal to get your music, cd, schedule and script. Then, you'll know if you have to stay for the rest of the night. ;)
2. I failed to give you a track listing for the CD. Sorry. I'll post the rough cues for each of the songs (that's what the copied notes are in your scripts). I did my best to get the approx cue. Also, I'm sure you've noticed the choir sings with the accompaniment on this CD. By performance I want to be singing with the accompaniment CD ONLY--- however, this is largely up to y'all and how often you practice at home.
3. CHANGE IN FEED THY SHEEP FOR THOMAS AND PETER: I want to give Thomas' solo at the beginning to Peter. I think having Peter, James and John singing at the beginning of that song would give a better effect. (plus Thomas has his own song earlier in the play ;).
4. NEXT REHEARSAL IS THURSDAY, same place as before. We will be working on scenes 1.3 and 2.1. I thought we would need the choir and resurrected extras, but we'll put them in these scenes when we go through them again in March. I want to do initial blocking with Mary Magdelene, Samuel the Lamanite, James, Thomas, Mary Mother of James, Salome, Joanna, John, Peter, and Mary.
5. The next rehearsal after that will be on MARCH 3rd. That will be scenes 1.2, 2.2, 2.4 with a Choir rehearsal (which EVERYONE needs to attend) at 8.

If you have any questions, feel free to email the samusical account.
