Please Read All Of The Following
In this first note of 2019, I lay out our plans for preparation, what these notes will contain (and how to read them best) and a bunch of other important stuff.
Please read all of this email. You won't have to read all of the emails that follow - although it will help if you do.
Welcome, and "Why Am I Getting These"
Hi, I am Mark Schuldenfrei - your Chief Preparedness Assistant. I am mostly a cheerleader for the work you are doing, a help for any troubles you may encounter, and an occasional reminder to your conscience that the Rally is ever closer. :-)
I am here as a Promoter and Maximizer of Fun. The best way to enjoy your Rally experience is to never think about the songs themselves, but to think about the singing you are doing during the weekend. The more you can think about making music and how great you sound, the more fun you (and everyone else) will have.
If You Need Help with learning, or are stuck on a song, or with anything - I can put you in touch with the right people. Feel free to email me.
We help each other prepare, so that we can enjoy our weekend to the fullest. Simple as that. If we (as a team) can make preparing as much fun as singing together, we will have achieved Peak Harmony Brigade Satori.
Format and Contents of These Notes
Summary: Read the top, reference the bottom, enjoy the middle.
Each email will also be a blog post which you may refer back to. Important information at the top - new, different, timely. Please read at least the top info. Deadlines, new resources, errata (if any), offers of additional ways to have fun. If you read the top info, you will be all set.
At the bottom of each email will be a compilation of all the old information - useful links, deadlines, stuff like that. You should be able to find everything that you currently need at the bottom of the most recent email.
In the middle of the sandwich - useful advice, entertaining information, fun stuff, weird pictures, links to inspiring performances. Stuff like that. Since I sing bass, I may make some bass-centric observations. Oh well. :-)
We Are Still Recruiting Singers
We are still actively recruiting singers, especially in the top clef. We have a few basses and one baritone waiting for balanced parts to sing with. Please recruit people that you are sure everyone would want to sing with and send them to our application page. More singers = more singing = better fun.
