QUARTER 2: REHEARSAL SCHEDULE
Theme: The Golden Age of Broadway
Hannah Hoffman, MT-BC
SFCC Quarter 2 Leader
In early May, participants will gather for a relaxed listening session where we will explore the selected songs together and begin becoming familiar with the music.
After this session, Hannah Hoffman will provide recordings of each song so participants can practice at home and grow comfortable with the material at their own pace.
Two weeks before our June performance, the group will come together for two rehearsals to sing through the music, connect as an ensemble, and prepare to share these beloved Broadway songs with our elder care community.
