As Mike noted during rehearsal, he is undecided as to exactly which lines would be solos, small group, or all, so things may change.
Rescheduled Solo Auditions
Another option for auditioning for a solo is to record the part you’d like to sing, and send it to director@mysticchorale.org by Tuesday, Oct. 8. Anyone sending a recording will be given full consideration for a solo!

Always be aware of the beat (the “pulse”) of the music, whether it’s with tapping your foot,
slapping your leg or watching the director.
For some songs the beats are in groups of 3, like a waltz. Count: 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, etc.For most other songs the beats are in groups of 4. Count: 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, etc.
