We now have less than 4 weeks until Berklee (Feb 6). Make sure you are working and listening to the music daily to improve your parts and solos. I am creating a reference folder on Dropbox that has multiple recordings. Listen and sing along as much as possible over the next few weeks--especially soloists!!!
Schedule a sectional with your section if you have not done so already!!! Try to meet at least 2 or 3 times by the end of January. If you would like me to be there let me know when you are meeting and I will go.
Tomorrow night's rehearsal will be the last chance for anyone who wants one of the featured solos at Berklee to get an opportunity to sing it. I will select soloists after Tuesday's rehearsal and will be planning individual sessions with each soloist.
I would like everyone to learn the Scat Solo to Like Someone In Love. This will be your Midterm.
This is the order and solos available:
Like Someone In Love: Feature Melody Solo, Scat Solo, Bass Solo (Trombone Solo?)
Magnolia: Featured Melody Solo, (Guitar 1st Improv Section), (Vocal 2nd Improv Section)
I Want You Back: (opening--Molly and Claire?), Featured Melody Solo, Guitar, Trombone, End riffs
Reference Videos---PLEASE watch/use:
Like Someone In Love (Karrin Allyson)---Our arrangement is based off this recording
Magnolia: Becca Stevens -- Emulate her style! Listen to the rhythm interplay
