STEVIE: The Music of Stevie Wonder & Stevie Nicks as performed by Pageant & Singalong Nation
Rehearsal schedule:
Wednesdays 7-9 p.m.
September 4, 11, 18, 25 - I'll use Wednesday nights in September to finalize our playlist, recruit a guitar player and horn players, meet with the band and establish a rehearsal schedule/location, establish which versions of which tunes we'll use (and make sure the public playlists reflect those decisions). Band will rehearse without vocalists in September-October. We'll start putting it all together in November.
October 9, listening session at the Arts Center. All are welcome. We'll do introductions and then listen to the playlist together (18 songs).
October 16, singalong session at the Arts Center. All are welcome. We'll do introductions and sing along as a group, no soloists yet, just to get a feel for possible choral parts. "Declaration of Intent to Participate" forms will be distributed, to turn in next week.
October 23, planning session at the Arts Center. Deadline for submitting "Declaration of Intent to Participate" forms including everybody's top three choices for solos. (Soloists will be announced prior to October 30.) Attend this session if you're interested in helping plan staging, costuming, ticket sales--all the logistics that support the show.
