- Take our Festival Concerts as a serious matter.
- Every single member is responsible for the success.
- Do not look into the audience when it is your duty to sing. You can never be attentive enough.
- Watch constantly the conductor. The dimensions of the Chorus and the distance from the conductor ought to double your good will and energy.
- Do not think that you need not sing, as there are so many other singers present. On the contrary, sing with all the power of your voice in forte passages. The hall is immense, and requires an immense tone to fill it.
- On piano passages do not strain at all your voice.
- Keep a cheerful mind and your throat in good condition, and love your neighbors.
Dr. Leopold Damrosch
Music Festival, 1881
