A tentative Fall 2013 schedule has been posted.  Tentative is the important word there.  Most of the days off are pretty set right now so those won't change much.  The repertoire may change a bit after we get going, though.

Tenor part for The Yearning.

Alto part for The Yearning.

Just a reminder that we will NOT be having rehearsal tonight.  So stay in and prepare for the snowpocalypse.

I've updated the schedule, as you'll see...it goes up till June, but there are still some holes.  Expect them to be filled sometime soon, though.

As promised, this is the video for the piece I told you about last week at rehearsal.  I dare you not to love it. :)

Welcome back!  Rehearsals resume Wednesday, August 29th at 7:30pm.  Rehearsals will be Wednesday nights this year, please remember.

The schedule through December (no applause, please) is posted, so you can have a look and see what's coming up.

Looking forward to seeing everyone ready to sing next Wednesday!

2012

The schedule for the remainder of the year (yes, until JUNE) is now posted.  It is, of course, subject to change, but I'm not expecting much to change.  You will notice we only have one new piece and it's not until May...that's the one thing that may change, if I find something else new that I like.


No rehearsal tonight (12/29) and you are off on Sunday (Happy New Year!), so we're back in session on the 5th.

One last reminder...please don't forget to come to rehearsal TONIGHT at 7:30! 

Another year!

Choir is just around the corner!  Our first rehearsal will be September 1st at 7:30pm.  Please spread the word to people around the congregation who might be interested in joining us.

I will be updating the schedule over the next couple of days with anthem titles. 

It's going to be a great year!

New videos

With Joyful Thanksgiving, tenor part:

Weather

Please be aware that weather conditions over the next couple of days will likely be extreme enough for rehearsal to be cancelled Wednesday night.  I will call people on Wednesday with the final decision.  Our anthem for Sunday is Psalm 139, which should work fine without a Wednesday rehearsal if it comes to that.

Also, please note that the church office will be closed tomorrow due to weather.

Only A Baby Came--parts

Lost in the Night--accompaniment

Tell It On the Mountain--alto line

for Melanie/Jamie.

Yes, you do have to look at my sideways leg the whole time.

Proposition

I'll be bringing this up at rehearsal tomorrow night, but wanted to post it on here first to give you a chance to think about it first.

If I were to videotape myself playing/singing each voice part separately for new pieces, and then post those videos on YouTube, would you utilize that resource to practice on your own outside of regular rehearsals?  Ponder this, and we'll discuss tomorrow night.

Wanted: Altos!

With Melanie's departure to college, we're left a little thin in the alto section.  I plan on making a couple of announcements during services, as well as having written a blurb for the August newsletter, but if any of you could help out with the alto search, it would be much appreciated.  I'm not totally sure who within the church would be interested/able to help out, but it doesn't hurt to ask around a bit.  I do have Plans B and C if we can't find at least one new alto, but obviously this plan would be preferable.

Schedule

I've posted the schedule for September and October.  Just click above, on the tab called "Schedule" to see what's coming up.

Welcome!

Hello all!

In the interests of easier communication, I'm starting this blog as a way for all choir members to become aware of important events, as well as the performance schedule and repertoire.  Please check here frequently for updated information.

Reminder: Beginning this fall, rehearsals will be on Wednesdays instead of Thursdays, still at 7:30 pm. 

The first rehearsal will be on September 1, and the first Sunday we are in the loft will be September 5.


I've purchased several new pieces for the upcoming year, including new Thanksgiving, Lent, Palm Sunday, and Easter pieces.  I'm quite excited about them, and I think you will be too.  If you'd like a quick preview of them, just ask some Sunday and I'd be happy to show you.


Keep singing!
