Now that I can feel my fingers again...

Great work, all, on the sing-through!  A couple of things to remember:
1) If you can't hear the person next to you, you're singing too loudly.
2) In a volume battle between the soloists and the chorus, the soloists should always win. Even though voices will be amplified, please always keep in mind that blend is paramount, and the chorus supports the soloists.
3) Remember that each of the principals has a musical motif that usually represents the character.  When dialog is underscored, often one is expected to wait for the beginning of one's personal motif before continuing to speak.  Be mindful of where scenes change; the music will also change.  Don't start a scene over a previous scene's music.
All of this will work out once we're in the space and actually walking it out to the music.  YOU ALL ARE THE BEST!!!! AND, YES, I'M SHOUTING!!!!!

Pick up notes - music, etc.

Good work! It was a treat to see you all again and I enjoyed watching the polish you've added to the show.  That said, however..... DI...
