This week’s rehearsal plans, Thursday, August 15
We will again be holding a combined rehearsal with Old Capital Chorus at Prairie Point, on the College Community School District campus. Be prepared to sing “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”. We will continue to work on “From the First Hello”, “Daydream” and “Happy Together”. In addition, there will be some time for vocal craft in warm ups, some tag time, and perhaps some breakout impromptu quartet opportunities. We will also probably combine for some pole cat singing to help everyone get comfortable with the sound that is happening.
Please bring your Barber Pole Cat #2 books to rehearsal.
Here are directions to get to the Point Choir room
- Prairie Point (8015 Kirkwood Blvd SW, Cedar
Rapids, IA 52404) is the building next to the Kirkwood Hotel/Convention Center
on Kirkwood Blvd SW. Here are directions
to get to the choir room (the building doors will NOT be unlocked—singers MUST
come to the door described to be able to enter!)
- Drive around to the back of the school and park in the east lot. The Kirkwood horse barn and Prairie Point football field are visible from this lot.
- Enter using the door to the left of the basketball hoops (there is a door to the right, but it is not as obvious as the door on the left)
- Kelly Truax will sit near this door to open for people.
- Instructions for before 6:30 pm (or after 7:15
pm)
- Park in the same lot OR park in the access driveway that is to the left of the door described above.
- Walk up the access driveway (as if you were going to the greenhouse.)
- The choir room is the 3rd door—the window is very big; you’ll be able to see the group inside. Knock on the window, and we’ll let you in!
