10/20/2023 – Countdown to kickoff! Read to the end!
Good morning folks,
Four rehearsals until the performance! We had 17 people out again this past Tuesday. I am hoping the sickness, travel and extraneous excuses are behind us, and we can move forward with the choir as a whole. This is always a challenge for a volunteer community group, but I am confident that much at home practice has been happening and folks will prioritize Tuesday nights going forward.
Schedule:
Warmups Vol VI #4 and 5
Jubilate Deo-Michael
Times They are a-Changin’ Auditions on the spot!!
Finish Threads of Joy-auditions on the spot!
Canto Que Amabas- be ready with questions. Will attempt a cappella.
Presentation by Patty Ballinger about Lasos partnership opportunities.
