Notes from tonight's rehearsal

Good work from everyone at rehearsal tonight!  When we're missing people it makes rehearsal a bit harder, so good job everyone for keeping your concentration up.  Tomorrow night should be better as we won't have as many conflicts, so we should have more cast members at tomorrow night's rehearsal.

Please remember to text or call the phone number if you can't make rehearsal or think you'll be late.

A few more notes:

• When I stop to give direction or answer a question, don't start talking to your neighbor.  Listen -- you'll probably benefit as well as the person I'm speaking with.
• "Places" means to get in position for the start of the song or scene.  Be quiet and prepare by getting into character or thinking about what we're dancing or singing, or where you'll be moving.
• Remember to enter and exit through the Multi Purpose Room entrance.

Go over the songs we did tonight with your scripts and CDs.  Especially those of you in the Rock Island number at the top of the show.  It's important to get the words in the rhythm.  Keep working at it, and you'll get it.

Tomorrow night we'll go over "Ya Got Trouble" again and catch up the people who were at Sports Awards Night.  We'll also be doing "Iowa Stubborn" and hopefully blocking the rest of Scene 2.
