Choir blog:-)

Hey choristers if you happen to check the blog this morning, our start time is 9 o'clock. Arrive at 830 refreshments and conviviality.

new pieces on the practice site

A note from Al about the new pieces added to the practice site.

There are three new pieces on the practice site: Connected, Thula Sizwe and Overflowing.

http://home.comcast.net/~aheezen/music/

They are pretty straightforward except for Overflowing, which has some oddness in the repeat on the first few pages. I skipped the intro and the first time through the repeat, so it starts up at letter "A", the second time through the repeat.

I also think the last note of the tenor part is wrong (it is definitely ugly!) but we'll have to check that with Andy.

A quick reminder about Sunday.

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)
