Flu
This is a time of year when most of you will be vocally compromised due to flu, laryngitis, colds, allergies, etc. Going to bed early and sleeping as late as possible is your best defense in physically preparing you to sing for 12-14 hours a day while we are in the studio. You should not go to school or practice on these dates. We will talk about that more in class. Although we won’t spend the night in the studio, it could go late. Plan on being there the entire time. If for some reason we finish with you early, consider it a bonus. Do not ask to leave early. Plan on being there until we release you.
