Music review reminders and music:
It’s A Good Day: Pitch on a Unison “Ah” “A good day” in the intro. Bar 65 take an expression breath after the word deep (no breath after “breath” – no rest or breath in Bar 66) Words have been changed in bar 67 “climb the highest hills”
** correct words Bar 31 for losin’ “the” blues Bar 41 said to “the” sun
All parts check notes: Bar 4 “day” Bar 43 “morn – in”
Leads check notes (Tenor has the melody here): Bar 48 to 55
Finish words as you lift the phrase ends … “night” – we need to hear the “t”
Tell the story with authenticity – sell the song – MOVE freely
You’ve Got A Friend In Me: Pitch Eb “OOO” Pitch Up Basses, Bari’s and then Lead and Tenor on First Chord. Bar 29 Harmony parts – trumpet “wah wah wah” – we need to make MORE out of this to make it effective.
All Parts please check and review notes in following chords:
Bar 13 “son” Bar 15 – the 2nd “doo” (4 parts) Bar 36 – “way I do” Bar 43 – “ny”
Non melody parts support with solid sound but at a lower dynamic when another part is “ “featured”
Tell the story with authenticity – sell the song – MOVE freely
Bar 23 – Bari’s Ab sing on top of the note
Bar 29 – “our” owooer
Seven Bridges Road – sing all chords cleanly with out dropping at phrase endings where indicated by (for now)
Review learning tracks for notes and rhythm.
Bar 37 to 52 – review – our most challenging part for sure – turn up the treble or the bass on your listening device to enhance your part on the recording
9:25 Irish Blessing
9:30 Riser take down, sweep and cleanup
