Madrigal Rehearsals

The madrigals meet for the first time during the first week of Summer break.  During the first rehearsal, the directors will give the students their binders of music and a detailed rehearsal schedule.

With a few adjustments for holidays and other conflicts, the madrigals will rehearse:

• • Summer: Three consecutive days during the first week of summer, two consecutive days near the first of July, and four consecutive days in early August

  • Fall: Every Monday after school from the first week of the school year through September and every Monday and Wednesday after school from the first week of October through the week of madrigal dinners

  • Winter: Once a week after school from the first week of January through mid-March.

The madrigals memorize 24-26 songs each year. To accomplish this, the students must also practice individually outside of regular rehearsal times.
