March 12: 8 PM Spokane!
I am including practice notes, and you tube sites for your rehearsal. While I have included every piece please start this Sunday with TaReKiTa. Please practice with the wonderful pronunciation guides.
We are Not Alone - Work on this for memorization. Practice your part for the ending. This YouTube beginning is a little different, but the rest if PERFECT for you to practice with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OviilwuJVtE
Yemaya Assessu - Please review: This is a recording from PYC singing this with Judy a few years ago. GREAT to work with https://soundcloud.com/like-it-is-productions/yemaya-assessu-by-judy-a-rose
Lakota Wiyanki - Be careful of cut-offs. Practice page 4 to the end. Memorize as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjwDuL9icWE

Take Me To The Water
Go over ending notes. With such a fun piece it is easy to think you know it better than we do. Pay special attention to dynamics!
