From Melanie Wroe:
Dear Commodores - Thank you so much for your focus, flexibility and joy at Tuesday’s rehearsal.  I’m so impressed!  You are a chorus of great talent, diversity and heart.  Let your audience see that and you’ll do well.  COMMAND THAT STAGE!  
Good luck!

From Dan Slattery:
Gentlemen, are you ready for Portland?  Remember we only have 3 weeks left before Contest and qualification.  Will you be there and be ready?  Let's give it our all, so we are.

A reminder to help with the noise between songs, and when we stop singing, as there are instructions that are being said, and some people can't hear due to the extra conversations going on. Please give Paul the respect he deserves.
