Hello WVC!
My apologies for an extra email this week but clarification is needed on our part splits. Attached is a PDF of your part assignments. Below is our repertoire and the splits we are using. These are all indicated on the practice files that Karla made so you may already have this information. It would be helpful if everyone marked this in their scores. Ask your section leaders if you have questions please – they will know how to best assist you.
Some of you may be wondering about the card system that WVC has used in the past. We will probably use these cards later in the fall. Right now, as we are in the beginning stages of working through our music, my preference is that we sit high voices to low voices (as you have been sitting) and that you choose your individual seats within your general section area according to where you learn most efficiently.
In the future, we will also use the Square System that divides you into smaller mixed ensembles but we aren’t ready for that quite yet.
Thank you so much for all of your work and dedication to WVC. I am having a wonderful time working on our music together – see you Monday!
Cheers!
Laura
