9-11 Performance Tomorrow

Greetings! I hope everyone is enjoying this gorgeous Saturday. I am writing to remind everyone of the performance tomorrow at the 9-11 Memorial Ceremony.
The Mayor and City Council are holding a special 10th anniversary memorial event to recognize those who lost their lives from the terrorist attack. We have been asked to sing. It is not only an honor but a great chance to demonstrate our commitment to community service and outreach.
The details:

8:30 AM Meet at the Children's Theatre, corner of Middlefield and Melville.
If you are driving yourself, you should consider parking near the tennis courts behind the theatre since the performance is at the corner of Embarcadero and Newell.

8:45 AM We will walk to the site of the ceremony.

9:00 AM Performance
The ceremony is only about a half hour long. At some point in the ceremony we will sing City Called Heaven. I am really grateful to the fantastic guitar players who are playing for us tomorrow: Carly Neugass, Taesu Pak and Tony Yin. If you guys could come a few minutes before 8:30 it would be good to run the song before the choir gets there.

9:30 AM End of Ceremony

Dress: We are not wearing choir attire for this. You should dress nicely like you are going to a job interview or a church service. No jeans if you can help it. There are often newspaper photographers at things like this so look your best.

Thanks for agreeing to do this. For those of you who can't come due to your own Sunday morning commitments, I totally understand. For those of you who have agreed to perform, I really appreciate it and I'll see you at 8:30 AM at the Children's Theatre.

If you need to practice the song, here is a youtube video of the choir singing the song with guitar accompaniment in Prague a few years ago.



Thanks!
Bill Liberatore
