Stage Instructions Posted on March 25, 2010August 1, 2010 From Fred: Singers, I’ve attached a plan (.pdf) which we may use to practice stage movement before the Bishop Ireton concert. Think of it this way: Sopranos always enter and leave via Stage Right wings: – Lowest rows lead off stage and top row leads on. – If there is enough room, Sopranos will gather before Witches Chorus and wait during Soldiers Chorus in the band room. Tenors and Basses always enter and leave via Stage Left wings: – Lowest rows lead off stage and top row leads on. – Men will gather and wait during the Witches Chorus in the hall with lowest rows against the far (West) wall. Altos leave via Stage Right after the Witches Chorus with the top row leading and the bottom row trailing. The top row leads the Altos through the passage way in the band room around to the Stage Left wings. They wait there until “Wedding Guests” begins and then go up onto the stage. Be kind to our instrumentalist hosts and careful of their instruments and instrument cases. I asked Ul James to have them leave their cases against the band room walls but there is always 10% that don’t get the word. Be on time for our rehearsal(s) at 2 PM. Don’t be one of those 10%.
