Dorian wasn’t available last night so Jo took the rehearsal. We spent most of our time perfecting certain phrasings in ‘Mamma Mia!’ and what a perfecting time it was!
For the men we concentrated on ‘Take a Chance’ working on the ‘chant’ ‘take a chance take a chance………..’ At bar 129 this starts on the quaver above the word ‘if’ and at bar 160 starts on the quaver above the word ‘mind’.
For the ladies a bit of work on the ‘Ah__s’ in bars 146 to 151
For everyone from bar 74 ‘Mamma Mia here I go again’ into the start of ‘SOS’. Jo’s advice was to turn the page quickly so we were ready for bar 94 ‘Where are those happy days’ at the start of ‘SOS’.
Thence from p9 bar 69 right through to page 26 bar 96. It felt good with all the perfecting we had done.
We moved on to ‘I Have a Dream’ singing it all the way through. Jo complimented us on getting it right until we reached bar 328 page 46 where it all fell apart! A little repair job on our ‘Oo……. ‘was needed but I’m afraid the cracks still show. More work at a later date.
A busy night but well worth it.
Philip will be contacting Dorian for a list of songs and a time for our slot for the Jubilee Fete on 2nd June and will contact everyone when these are finalized.
