Gospel Concert

There are only 2 full rehearsals left before the Gospel Concert. We are not ready to perform the songs at the concert. You should know where you need to improve, and I have included some areas that also need improvement right below this.

• There’s a Meetin’ Here Tonight
  • We will NOT sing this on the concert, but work on it for later use
• Run, Run, Run
  • Basses: Learn when to start the bass solo and learn the words
  • Everyone: Learn verse 4 (beginning with pickup to measure 49)
• It Is Well
  • This is pretty good
  • Remember that most of the song is on 4 measure breaths
• I Believe
  • Keep the lyrics as you would speak them on the first page and then again starting in measure 25
  • Notes are pretty good
  • Confirm you know the order of the verses
• I Asked the Lord
  • Think high to keep the pitch up
  • Four-measure phrases
  • Make sure to follow Chad for dynamics
• Precious Lord
  • Keep the pitch up!
  • After 1^st verse jump to second ending
  • Work on the key change at the second ending
  • Song is pretty good
• Armed Forces Medley
  • Leads: Work on the notes in the first 4 measures
  • All: Follow Chad on the tempo changes
