First combined orchestral/vocal rehearsal for Halfway Mark -- at Potrero Hill Neighborhood House. Provided transport for Claire Twohy and Aaron Urton, so we were able to get a jump on the goings-on and set a tone for the entire evening.
Wonderful to have most of the assembled forces together, and pleased with the basic sound and progress made -- kept on the brisk schedule with a minimum of speedbumps....
The entire show, and the associated CD, are as follows....
