TODAY IS PENULTIMATE DAY TO FWC - ARE YOU READY?!!!

Hello everyone,
Our two Family Weekend concerts are about 50 hours away!

whoooo

I am pleased to inform everyone that a recent email from our contact Ms. Laurie Prince indicates a capacity audience for BOTH CONCERTS!

That's 250 audience members for 7 p.m. and 250 for 8.30 p.m.!
There will likely be a few additional folks in the audience - we don't turn people away.

If I may -

I'm putting on my Aunty Lee hat right now - please consider the following and govern yourselves accordingly, if at all possible!

1. GET ENOUGH SLEEP.
2. GET ENOUGH WATER.
3. GET ENOUGH DECENT FOOD.
4. DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL.
5. DO NOT USE "HERBAL" PRODUCTS.
6. DO NOT DRINK MILK ON CONCERT DAY.
7. STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE ILL.
8. DO THE "eeeeeeee" VOCALISE TO KEEP YOUR VOCAL FOLDS TONED AND RELAXED.
9. STUDY YOUR MUSIC!
10. DETERMINE TO HAVE FUN!!!

This is our first real concert of the 2016-2017 academic year. It's a wonderful thing that we do to contribute to Seattle U spirit, welcome parents and family members to campus for the week/end, AND AND AND test-drive some of the more challenging pieces in our Christmas Concert repertoire.

It is not the end!!!!

I know that everyone will do their best to do their best on Friday, and this is a GOOD THING.

However - "the best" is what we hermeneuticists call an ever-receding horizon - there's always something just over the hill - something even better, something even more beautiful, something even more gorgeous - and as musicians, we are committed to continue our relentless pursuit of this something.

SO.

Next week, we'll be working on more of the Christmas concert repertoire - rep that hasn't yet been taken out in rehearsals - rep that you may not have heard or looked over...I encourage everyone to spend a few minutes listening to the next set of pieces on Dropbox over the weekend.

Protect those precious little vocal folds! Enjoy your considerable achievements! STRUT YOUR STUFF! And, get ready to shift it into an even higher gear come Monday.

WE ARE CAPABLE.
WE ARE SMART.
WE KNOW HOW TO WORK SMART.
WE ARE READY.
WE ARE FABULOUS!

See you Friday 10/21/16 at 5 p.m. in the Chapel of St. Ignatius.
1. Choir T-shirt
2. Black pants (not black jeans, please - actual slacks)
3. Black shoes
4. Black socks

LL&P,
Lee
