New News! (Who Knew?)
So, here's the latest announcements (since I am now blogging more often) -
* NO REHEARSAL NEXT WEEK (April 20th) - Too many people are going to be gone, plus its the day after prom, plus we have 3 rehearsals during the week that week. So I think we'll be ok.
*START MEMORIZING "THEY" - If you don't have your own copy of music, talk to me or Ally and we can get you a copy.
* WE PICKED A SACRED SONG - ...except it's not "sacred". But that's ok, Casey said ok. It's "Crash and Burn" by Savage Garden (it at least insinuates angels "If you jump I will break your fall/ lift you up and fly away with you into the night"). I've started arranging it (at least, the Alto 2 line) and we'll get it out A.S.A.P. I've also started working on our "Fake Out Casey" Sacred Song (if you haven't heard the story, talk to someone who was at rehearsal on Sunday- it's really, really funny!)
*IDEAS FOR A RAP SONG? - Ally wants to do a Rap/R&B/Hip Hop song really badly (not counting the Destiny's Child Medely) So if you have any ideas, shoot 'em out.
*I LOVE YOU ALL :) - This group is one of the most important things in my life right now...seriously. This is the most fun I have at rehearsals, ever. So thank you, really :D

Does anyone look at this anymore?

Only 2 rehearsals...
And we freaking rock, guys.
This is seriously a monumental jump for Divine progress- in comparison to last year. Everyone keep up the good work and keep practicing!
We are so pumped about this year!!
In case you missed rehearsal today....
- We got all the way through White Flag as a group. Next week, we should start off where we left off today. That means music learned front to back. If we master White Flag, we'll be able to move on to more music :)
- Lauren has started arranging Regina Spektor's "Fidelity". Hopefully, it will be done soon.
- T-shirt orders are underway! The tentative design is a black shirt with transfer lettering of the words "Divine- hella a-capella" on the front in Disney lettering, and our names on the back. The lettering will be in 4 different colors. Price is still TBA. We all wrote down our T-shirt sizes to order as soon as we can. Talk to Liz if you weren't at rehearsal and she will write down your t-shit size..
- Solo auditions are for White Flag are next week, August 26th. For auditions, you will sing the first verse and chorus with the cd. Don't worry, you can use music if you need it. :) There will be auditions for the solo part as well as the back up part.
- Remember to call your section leader if you are not going to be at rehearsal
Sop 1- you know what to do.
Sop 2- call Lydia
Alto 1 - call Liz
Alto 2 - call Lauren
VP - call Lauren
See you all Sunday!
Much love,
Lauren, Liz, Ally, Lydia and Julia

A Bit of News
Hello Divine members! Just an update on things discussed at our first rehearsal (which went AWESOME, by the way!) and some new happenings:
-> There will be NO REHEARSAL on Sunday, August 12th due to the matinée performances of Wizard of Oz (which quite a few members are in). Group rehearsal and sectionals will resume on August 19th.
(If a group of Divine members want to get together and practice on the 12th, more power to you!)
-> White Flag was handed out at sectionals this past Sunday, August 5th. If you were gone, talk to your section leader or Ally. If you happen to misplace your music, Lauren has scanned all the music and put it on the web. You can find that at http://plymouthweather.googlepages.com/divine:)
(make sure that the colon and the parenthesis are at the end!) Directions for printing are on the website. We still have yet to figure out how to upload the mp3 onto the internet. However, White Flag can be found on Itunes, Limewire, Rhapsody Player, Pandora and other internet sources.
-> T-shirt design and ordering is underway. Seniors leaders were thinking of having black shirts with writing of 4 different colors. We will discuss the ideas and get t-shirt sizes at the next rehearsal on the 19th. We are uncertain of price yet - but we'll let you know as soon as we find out.
-> For those interested in auditioning for the solo for White Flag, solo auditions will be in 3 weeks on August 26th (that's the Sunday after our next rehearsal). Learn the song (either by practicing the sheet music or with the mp3) and be ready to sing part of it along with the cd. Soloists are determined by group vote. If you need help with music, all you have to do is ask :)
-> We are sorry to inform you all that we have, very quickly, lost a member. Kaley Sundby, Alto 2, had to quit because of her busy schedule. She insisted that her mother told her she needed to drop, and it has nothing to do with the group, only that she is too busy. Senior leaders have discussed the possible rearrangements and it was decided that instead of auditioning a new member, Lauren would move down to Alto 2 and Alto 1 will now have 4 members instead of 5. Sarah Ives has agreed to have sectionals for Alto 1 at her house (no offenses any other Alto 1, we just knew for certain that there was a piano at her house and that she would be willing) Hopefully, this change will suit everyone. The group will still be awesome, we promise!
-> Phone trees will be handed out at the next rehearsal- never fear!
-> Seniors Leaders have started to arrange "Hide and Seek" (Imogen Heap). We're hoping to have it done soon enough to have a long time to work on it - it will be tricky.
We hope that you all enjoy your week off from Divine, and we are looking forward to seeing you on the 19th!
Love from-
Julia, Ally, Lydia, Liz and Lauren

Test Post and Audition Results
Wow, here we are! Welcome to the blog of SHS Divine for the 2007-2008 school year!
I am so excited about getting this blog started! Hoping this works, let's all cross our fingers.
We started this site for purposes of improving communication. This way, we can easily access past announcements, performance date/time, (hopefully) sheet music and all that wonderful stuff.
Anyone in the group can post something so long as it's relevant to the group. It's important that we use this site for it's intended purpose. Whoot. At a later meeting, I'll give you guys the user name and password and all that cool stuff.
So, let's take a look see at this year's Divine members:
Soprano 1
Julia
Ally
Soprano 2
Nikki
Caitlin
Lydia
Liz
Alto 1
Lauren
Olivia
Kaite
Sarah
Ada
Alto 2
Kaley
Courtney
Makenna
Kiley
Vocal Percussion - open spot.
Auditions for VP will come soon! Please contact me (Lauren) if you're interested!
:) Our first meeting is soon - remember to bring your calendar!
