Last night’s dress rehearsal went OK. At one point I was told to not sing as loud and for the other basses to sing louder. I know that one piece very well as I was bass section leader when I learned it first. In that other choir I always had to lead as there were some entries when I was never sure whether the rest of the section would join me. Perhaps I was still leading since we are standing “scrambled” and I can’t hear the rest of my section.

My voice is resting at the moment; although, this morning I played over some of the pieces for next Saturday’s concert. I’m hoping the choir I’ll be singing with next week knows the material well — I want to add to the voices not to lead them. I would need much more learning time or familiarity for that.
