If there is anything that the Rally and Brigade can do for you, to help with your preparation - please ask.
If you have questions, ASK ME QUESTIONS. I will get you answers, and share the answers with everyone where possible. If you don't know, other people may not either.
Important News:
- CLARIFICATION: This year's rally is on the usual 3rd weekend of September, 20-22, 2019. The 2020 rally (next year) will be one week earlier (September 11-13, 2020). We will return to the third weekend in 2021. (hat tip: Jonathan Taylor)
- There were technical issues with the travel assistance forms, which are now fixed. (hat tip: Rob Armstrong)
- Run-throughs have begun, and are exciting. There were TWO local to Boston this weekend - I attended one, and it was awesome. There is no better way to prepare than to attend a run-through. Please continue to think of them as mini-rallies.
- Reminders:
- Additional part learning tracks are available for your personal use only. $20 per part, contact our Treasurer to purchase.
- Please host a run-through. We are now on songs 1-12. To schedule a run-through, email Rob Sheridan. You can access the calendar on the web, add it to your own online calendar or find it on the NEHB web site.
What's Happening Now
Now that we have finished our overviews for all 12 songs and the Challenge song, I'll be switching to sharing important information.
I keep a chart of my progress, with notes on my status. I update it, and print to keep in my music book. I find it incredibly useful, and even when the rally is over, the recorded trouble spots help me strengthen my memory.
Since I sing bass, mine is mostly for basses. If a tenor, lead and baritone want to make one and share it, I will link to it in future posts.
Upcoming Information over the next few weeks:
- There will be a rooming form where you can specify preferences.
- Discussion of why you should become a member
- And how to become a member
- And calls for motions for the annual meeting of members
- Overview of the weekend schedule
- Overview of the quartet competition
- Reminder of uniform requirements
- Call for new Board Members
- Call for volunteers for next year's rally
