Dhamakapella - EXEC MEETING Shyam (secretary): lates and absences, keep track of minutes before and after rehearsal Late policy = after 2 minutes before start of practice Exec meeting absence = missing a rehearsal Absence: 4-5 excused absence, 3 tardies = unexcused absences, 2 unexcused Set sectional meeting time and executive meeting time Some sort of punishment for misrepresenting our group (problems with Arthi) Vocally Arthi does not bring enough to the table Tulsi: let her know that she is on some sort of probation Read the constitution Announcements: do warm ups before announcements Nano: make sure announcements do not go on forever and do not become discussions Set-lists that Sharanya gives are FINAL, if you have a problem talk to Sharanya (call her) Curb and control Anoop and Nav Back-up soloists should practice in rehearsal Solo auditions: be fucking prepared (with lyrics), keep discussion to minimum (one person gets 20 seconds) Auditions for an alto and a bass For the alto: need someone who picks up music fast and can read music (Jessica?) For arrangements have them tailored to our group and specific soloists Choreo should be introduced during the learning process of the arrangement Incorporate dynamics right away as soon as you learn the song (also work on blending) Arrangements: incorporate more block chords For rehearsals we should not treat them like performances: stop in the middle of singing Quartets for knowing music is a good idea Ashi as a webmaster Mixer, think about getting a tech guy... GOAL for the semester? Nano (VP): Propagate Sharanya's actions and decisions, take over warm-ups, mentally prepare myself Need to be an authoritative figure, keep Sharanya sane For the voting process, it needs to stay private and needs to stay in the room The political, social, gossipy bullshit needs to stop: NANO, STAY OUT OF IT! Keep Shyam and Nav away from each other as much as possible
