Andy Sick, Rehearsal canceled

Dear BUF choir,

I have caught one of the worst cold I've had in a long time. I was hoping it would clear up by this afternoon but after taking the day off of school , I'm still in bed.   I think that chamber choir with one more rehearsal is in good shape for the 28th. So I don't think we'll need to have that rehearsal.

We are still awaiting the music to arrive from Anastasia's service on the 12th. So we could work on our other material but we still have time for that so I think it's prudent to go ahead and cancel BUF choir rehearsal as well.

Sorry abut the late notice. I hope to see you next wednesday as my usual chipper self. 

If you have any questions don't hesitate to email, Text, or call (be prepared to hear a nasty ogre on the other end though)

O Sifuni Mungu is on practice site!

Hey BUFsters,

I have put O Sifuni Mungu on the website  It is quite complex, with all the repeats and such, so I hope I got it mostly right. 

My software can't handle situations where a note is tied across an alternate ending (e.g., measures 17, 66) so I had to rearrange things a bit. So my version won't look exactly like the printed page but it should play correctly. (This shouldn't be a problem, since you should probably be looking at the printed version when using the site. The display on the site is only to help you navigate around, in case you want to repeat a section to burn it into your brain, etc.)

See you Wednesday,

Al

Sunday schedule
