Rehearsal Update April 15

Rehearsed The Wave like mad. each part is functioning independently on pp. 5-18 and we were able to put all the parts together. Next week, we'll need sectionals to fine tune some things and get the music off the page, especially p.19 to the end. Reel a Bouche focus was central section--development of A and the Bridge. Next step on this is memory. Danza Danza is note-wise fine. Needs memory work on language and phrasing.
