Please practice your track at least TWICE daily until it is correctly memorized, or until the concert, whichever comes first. Remember, ONLY sing your part when you hear the piano playing and ONLY speak when Ms. Koplinka-Loehr speaking. (FYI, if you are singing a part when the piano is not playing or you speak when she is not speaking, you are performing another part, not your own.)
Have fun!
