I was wary when I first joined The Treble Singers. “Why am I joining yet another a cappella group???” I thought to myself over and over. Rehearsals started off a little disorganized and not as productive as they could have been, but the talent was there. San Francisco Girls Chorus alums, vocal performance majors, veteran choristers, and musical theater gnomes. We started off with a rather off-putting madrigal and a heavily overdone Beatles song.
But we evolved very quickly. Bonding was very high on our list of priorities, and bond we did. A date was set for karaoke night, and we all got to know each other a little better through singing rather un-prettily. Rehearsals were streamlined, music choice shifted, and we really started getting into the groove of things.
What really pleased me about tonight’s rehearsal, and what makes me think that this is definitely going somewhere is that we all have such collaboration-geared attitudes toward the group. Katya, Alice, and Rebecca are working on outfits. Becca and Rachel are handling the administrative stuff. Daphne is doing our Facebook group. Katie is working on t-shirt designs. I’m arranging and correcting music. My point is that we’re all involved to some degree, and no single person is heavily burdened with more than her share of work. It also helps that we all have tips from our past musical experiences, and make valid contributions to rehearsals.
After just four rehearsals, we have four pieces–two of which are memorized. Learning is lightning quick in this group. That makes me so happy
