a great rehearsal with leppard

There is much to say about last night's rehearsal with Maestro Leppard.

A few quick thoughts:
  • I was very pleased with his work with you . . . you responded quickly to his ideas and made changes quickly.
  • Dale Reynolds and the ASC Staff created a great stage for the group.
  • We need to rehearse in a bigger room. The sound of the choir was not as good at the beginning as it was at the end. You made adjustments as you went along because you could hear . . . and you learned to listen as the rehearsal progressed. We'll talk more about different rooms soon.
  • Vowel shapes influence pitch. I hope I can address this before rehearsal begins tonight.
  • You held up well throughout the long rehearsal. I appreciate your stamina and your dedication to this grand event. It's going to be a wonderful performance.
