Please review current repertoire items on your own if at all possible

We might be able to plug

"Kosi R'vaya" and
"Give Light"

into an upcoming service somewhere. Please consider these current review-worthy repertoire pieces. Please review them as much as possible on your own between/before rehearsals for the next couple months.

Rehearsal Notes 3/23/15 and upcoming dates

In attendance:
Elaine
Paula
2 Susans

Scott hopes to be coming back (capital C capital B) in April; things are calming/meshing with the littlest Jaeschke and scheduling and... :)

Sherri is allergied :(

We hope Sara will be able to join us again soon at least semi-regularly. Prayers and vibes for her as Jim is in assisted living now and we know that must be very very hard.

So... (For dates not listed here there is no proposed choir involvement.)
  • 3/29 - no choir after all
  • 4/5 (Easter) - Elaine, Chandler and Clay will sing "Agnus Dei" with the wondrous accompaniment of Paula on piano. This group is firm; no more adjustments, period.
  • added... 4/26 per Elaine's email from Susan Watson - think about doing "Om Mani Padme Hum"  for the Buddhist service?
  • 5/3 - maybe? please let Elaine know if you are going to be available that Sunday and we will see what's what - Theme is "TaizĂ© Chants"- TaizĂ© is a pilgrimage site in SE France
  • 5/24 - no official choir involvement but open for someone to work up something independently if interested - Dillman is leading service - proposed theme: When Bad Things Happen - Elaine will be away - let Elaine know if interested/ideas
  • 6/14 - Volunteer Appreciation Day - planning to sing "One Voice"- so far we have been working on this by switching parts so that hopefully we will be ready for most contingencies - nothing is etched in stone yet so plenty of room for more voices to jump in at least for another few weeks
PLEASE NOTE: 
Elaine will be away 5/25 (Memorial Day) - option is always open to rehearse anyway, perhaps at someone's house, we will keep mulling this over as it approaches - yell if any idea/hankerings

Updated Performance List as of March 24 2015

Hi,

Subject to change pending allergies etc!

 April 26  we are asked to sing Om Mani Padme Hum  
THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED.  PLEASE CHECK YOUR CALENDARS AND WE CAN DISCUSS NEXT WEEK

May 3        Orthodoxy                            Maybe some Taize Chants    titles not  certain yet

June 14  Volunteer Appreciation Day                 One Voice  by Ruth Moody

Choir 3/2/15 - probably no official choir Monday 3/9 - doublecheck with Sherri or Chandler

In attendance: 2 Susans, Sherri, and Elaine.

Sorry I completely forgot to blog last week. Elaine is out of town tonight and next Monday night.

The next thing on the docket is Sunday 3/22; Chandler, Clay, Sherri and Elaine will do "Deep Peace."

Chandler, Clay and Sherri discussed possibly meeting at someone's house tonight (3/9) and next Monday (3/16) for rehearsing "Deep Peace."

I will not be able to meet tonight after all. Next Monday we could possibly meet at someone's house or at the Fellowship after all - all are welcome but especially we would need the 2 Susans and Sherri to go over "Deep Peace."

Send out an email or an answer to the blog post or call around if you have any other ideas for next week.

At this point I do not know if Sherri and Chandler are going to meet after all; I'll try them both by phone. Grab them for any info about possibly meeting tonight.

Feb 9 rehearsal

Hi Everyone,

I just heard from Sherri.  She plans to attend tomorrow if her energy holds up.  However, she is not able to sing.  She could barely talk.

Paula is away.

As far as I know, Scott is  back in town-- but we have not been in touch since last Monday, when he  was  travelling back to Clemson.



Here's updated plans that we can discuss tomorrow night.  Lately there  have been some changes in the services so I can 't say this won't change again.  Terre tries to keep me updated and is respectful of the time we need--- it's just  what happens sometimes.
