Irish Love Duet this Sunday

Choirsters - a few quick reminders. Rehearsal will start at 9:30am. Arrive on time, dressed in black with a green accent. 

See you all Sunday!

a couple new videos added to choir blog

Videos for An Irish Love Duet and The Awakening have been added to the choir blog.

I only found one video of An Irish Love Duet. Remember how Andy is always increasing the tempo when the men enter? Listen to the first entrance of the men here and you will see why. Bless their hearts, but does it drag!

There were many, many recordings of The Awakening, and I finally just chose one of the better ones.

If you run across other recordings you like, share them on our Facebook page!
