Things are really moving along! Chamber Singers had a great rehearsal Monday night. I am so happy with all the new guys, and the enthusiasm is very high. Treble Choir is really finding their voice. I had chills numerous times in rehearsal yesterday! And last but not least Concert Choir is sounding great. I love the size and the balance, and the great tuning! Wow. We all have a lot more to accomplish before we can give a concert, but we are on the right track!
I have a couple new things on the blog. I posted the Chamber Singers Rehearsal Schedule. Please make sure all those dates are written in your calendar immediately if you are in that group. It is a class for credit with a letter grade, so please take these obligations seriously.
I also added a link to recordings of the songs we are going to do at the Fall Concert to feature the men and the women's sections. I love both of these song ideas. Check it out. I posted 3 different versions of the women's song. The original Queen version, and then 2 versions sung by women which are in the keys we will be using. I am very excited about the guy number! What a crazy idea! I wish I could take credit for it, but it came to me via Ruth Escher. Thanks Ruth! We will be doing our own arrangement, with a string quartet and a sort of pseudo classical interpretation. It will be really cool! Start listening to these now.
Finally, I am ready to get started with our Choir Board. We really want to put together a sweats order (Choir Bums is BACK!) so we can start wearing the stuff around campus and publicizing our first concert. If you are interested in being an officer, please read the job descriptions posted here, and write me a short email by Monday telling me why we should put you in that job!
Thanks to all of you for all of your hard work. It is going really well!
Best,
BL
