FYI addition to blog

I've added a page to the blog so we have a list of our repertoire hymns handy at all times - this is particularly good for home practice if everyone can sing thru them occasionally. See the new tab at the top of the blog "Repertoire Hymns."

Upcoming dates (on gcal too)

All Sundays unless otherwise noted. Boldeds are for sure. Un-boldeds/italicized are tentative or undecided or we just still need to decide on piece/s...

• 9/7 (Theme: Earth-centered religions)  Turq. hymnal #1064 "Blue Boat Home"
• 9/21 (Afternoon, Eve's ordination, must arrive by 1:15pm) 
• turquoise hymnal #1051 ("We are/For each child that's born…")
• "I am Willing." 

• 9/28 maybe (Theme: St. Francis and Mystics of other Traditions) - maybe Sherri solo: "Bless the Beasts and the Children"
• 10/5 (Theme: Hinduism) Turq. hymnal "#1001 "When I breathe in"
• 10/12 (Theme: Stewardship) "We are the ones we've been waiting for" OR "For All that is My Life"
• 10/19 (Theme: Vision and Hopes)  "Give Light (and people will find a way)"
• 10/26 maybe - (Theme: Remembrance) … ideas for piece/s?
• 11/2 maybe - (Theme: Ancient civil religion) …ideas for piece/s?
• 11/9 maybe - (Theme: Grace as a holy gift) "Go Lifted Up"?
• 11/30 maybe - (Theme: Guest at your table) "Go Lifted Up" or solo? or…? ideas?
• 12/21 WSSR?
• 12/24 5pm Joint Christmas Eve service with Peace Church - "When the Song of the Angels is Stilled" - if enough people will be available - if we can work it up again we could do it for UUFC sometime prior to that as well

I think that's about it for now. I for one will be here for 12/24 - I forgot to pipe up when we were going thru stuff the other night. I would love it even more than Rev. Susie if we work that one up again. Anyone else game and available?

Off to the gcal… Anyone has questions about it or the blog or anything please don't forget to grab me - in person before or after rehearsal if you prefer - I'll bring my mac each week as before.

Notes from rehearsal 8/25/14

Sherri was not able to join us - feel better Sherri! Boo allergies!

Members present: Elaine, Paula, Sara, 3 Susans, Scott

We practiced turquoise hymnal #1051 ("We are/For each child that's born…") and "I am Willing." Both are for Eve's ordination the afternoon of 9/21. (Please see gcal for other dates too). (Tab at top of blog.)

For each child that's born
3 or 4 parts - still being decided. Elaine has alto copy for anyone who needs it - please email her for a pdf if you want it before next rehearsal. We made corrections to the pdf version the other day at her house.

• Soprano: Susan Ch, Susan Cl, Sherri
• Alto: Susan W, Paula, Elaine
• Bottom: Sara, Scott

I Am Willing

• Soprano 1: Sherri (Clay default)
• Soprano 2: Susan Ch., (Clay too if Sherri on Soprano 1)
• Alto 1: Paula and Sara and Scott
• Sara and Scott will jump onto the "I am open/I am willing" chant whenever appl.

• Alto 2: Elaine and Susan W.
• Jeff will join us for the solo again - rehearsal with him TBA

The entire list for Eve's ordination:

• #1051 For each child that's born
• I Am Willing
• Let the Spirit Come to You (from WSSR*; Scott you will need music - remind me and I can scan and send to you if you like) - tentative idea: twice thru, first time with solos as we did in December, then unison with Scott second time thru
• Hymns (all grey hymnal, with congregation)
• #352 Find a Stillness
• #347 Gather the Spirit
• #208 Every time I feel the Spirit

I'll put this on the gcal too but please note we must be at UUFC by 1:15 9/21 for warm-up before the service.

*WSSR= Winter Solstice Singing Ritual

whoa! WE sing!!!

Tully is having his first bonafide repair job - well if you count a new battery as a repair job. Actually if we're counting new elements I guess our new tires in February should really count as the first repair… or perhaps 3 years ago when he had to have a new antenna because some @$$**** student tore his original one off in a Clemson Univ. parking lot.

Ahem. :) Anyway, back to our sheep (French expression which I will gladly explain someday)...

Can't believe our last post was 4/14. I know I've been out of the loop (self-imposed, not you all! :)  but I thought I had come to a few rehearsals after the Soirée - maybe we just didn't have anything that needed notetaking…

First and foremost - welcome Scott!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Again we are very very very happy to have you! And - you are much more talented than you think, or at least than you let on that you think :)  Plus - tremendous sight-reading last night!!

Next… you all might see that we have a new name at the top - I took the liberty. We can change it anytime if we would like to think up another Super Clever name like we did with SSSHHE Sings. I just wanted to put something up now that would be more accurate in the interim.

It is far easier to leave the URL as is (with "shesings" in the address); if we would like we could always do a separate blog for our co-ed group, too. Pretty easy to set up so just say the word if so. Also even tho the name on the blog itself is changed the admin pages still say "She Sings" at the top so if you're not a She and are ever posting please do not take offense.

For the time being anything posted on the blog or calendar will need to specify whether info/pieces are for SS or for the co-ed choir. Please keep this in mind with any blogposting or calendar events (usually this is me or Elaine but just in case…)

OK I promise these will not always be this long. (yeah we've heard that before Susan…)

(whispered: …and she hasn't even had caffeine this morning… uh oh)
