Hey Guys,
I'm about a month and a half into a new position. I sent this email out the day after a rehearsal, and it threw everyone into a tizzy in a BIG way! Was there something wrong with this? Here is the email, verbatim:
Hey Guys,
Thanks for staying so late last night for rehearsal! You all did great, and I think we can look forward to another great Sunday coming up.
There are a couple of things that will help us to have more efficient rehearsal time, and help everyone have a better experience over all.
1. Please do not coach one another on parts. There is nothing more deflating than to have two or three people trying to tell you what to do when you are having trouble with a part. Things can get chaotic fast when there is more than one "director." Also, if you need help with a part, or arrangement etc., please direct those questions to me.
2. When I'm working through a part with someone, please help by not playing your instrument during that time. We'll get through things quicker if we're better able to focus without all the chatter.
I appreciate your help with this guys. Can't wait to see you all Sunday!!
Peace and love,
~Shahan
