This Sunday is the last rehearsal with me as director. On Sunday, we'll be joined by members of Mastersingers by the Sea and Sine Nomine choral ensemble.

Some photos were taken at yesterday's rehearsal at the Congregational Church of South Dartmouth. Click here to view them.

Here are a few details for Sunday:

• rehearsal will be from 6-8:30 at Friends Academy (Mastersingers/Sine members look for the map links to the right)
• You all have a bit of homework to do before Sunday. And if you're not with us on Sunday, you still need to do some homework. David MacKenzie attended last night's rehearsal and left us some notes. They look extensive, but, in truth, there's not that much to mark into your parts. Nevertheless, please do so before Sunday. Click here to see David's comments. (If you have trouble accessing this document via this link, be sure to email me before Sunday.)
• As the final rehearsal with me, we will cover all of David's comments and then go through all of Messiah and all of the Magnificat. And as our final rehearsal, I ask that you be particularly attentive to all of the details we've been working on for the past five rehearsals while also incorporating David's comments. You know what you need to do! Don't force us to stop over and over again to correct things you already know.
• A comment for Mastersingers/Sine Nomine people: please do not sit together. I ask that you sit among people you do not know. This will help you learn from those around you while helping those around you with what you know!

And, finally, there were some questions about concert week. Here are the details:

• Saturday, November 24, 2:30-5pm rehearsal at Global Learning Charter School. This is the school building behind St. Anthony's (map linked to the right).
• dinner will be served between rehearsals
• Saturday, November 24, 7-9:30pm dress rehearsal in the church with orchestra
• And not that anyone's asked, but all November 24 calls are mandatory.
• Concert call on Sunday, November 25 is 1:30 in the school. The concert is at 3pm.
• Concert dress is listed here.
• Ticket information is here.

It's almost showtime! Keep up the pace. This chorus is sounding great!
