Notes on Dress Rehearsal

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

From Dr. Whitmire:  Dear Singers-

Happy Saint Cecelia Day (Patron Saint of Musicians)!
Brava/o! I could not have been more pleased and proud of you at last night’s dress rehearsal. You were attentive, patient, and sang with a beautiful full tone in every section. Our soloists did a fabulous job. We had only a few rhythmic issues in the fast spots. We’ll sort them out tomorrow night. We’ll also sing through Verdi Dies Irae first section.

If you can, please plan to rehearse On with the snow with the band on Thursday night, December 2, 8-8:30 pm.

See you tomorrow night.


ASO Flyer Correction

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

(8/26/2010) From Chorister Ray:  We’ve just received Alex. Symphony’s latest glossy flyer for the 2010-2011 season – and while it lists the Verdi Requiem on March 12 & 13, it fails to list the NOVA Community Chorus.  Alexandria Choral Society, Metropolitan Chorus and Heritage are there but not us.

From Dr. Whitmire:  I have spoken to the ASO about this, and trust they are making the correction.
