Revised Performance Dates and Question from Terre for us

I emailed this to you all then realized I should have posted it here for ease of  reference. 

I met with Terre this morning and we have these plans in the works, pending your availability. If possible we can sing more than this— this is just once a month. 

DATES

The first 2 dates we already talked about, I think.  My head is in a bit  of a swirl with at the backs and forths that Terre and I did this morning.

Jan 26   Feb 16.  We are singing one song  on each  date.  It's up to us to decide which song will be on which date.  The songs to pick from are:

Drive Your Karma

All Will Be Well

March 30  Adiemus— maybe with drum??

April 20  Yonder Come Day  -  with congregation

May 11   Heart of the Mother— for Mother's Day

THE QUESTION to ponder

Terre wants to know how  UUFC can support She Sings.    Our worship budget has money for 3 outside speakers this year.  She'd like to use the budget for one of the 3 outside speakers to invite someone who  we'd find helpful/ inspiring. etc.  For example, the budget helped pay for Jewelsong to do a service.   She  is thinking along the  lines of her friend who did aramaic chanting— but she's open to ideas.  Pretty cool eh?   If you have ideas, please put on Blog so we can easily keep a list.  

notes from rehearsal 1/13/14

We will sing:
Jan 26 - "Yonder Come Day" - basically just leading congregation

Feb 9 - "Drive your karma, curb your dogma"

Paula is gone 1/21-3/8

Possible soirée: 1st or 2nd weekend in April - NOT confirmed, depends on doodle - please respond to poll! Here's the link if you need it again:

notes from rehearsal + return to brainstorming for the Soirée

1.
We'll sing Kosi R'vaya this Sunday as well as helping lead the congregation in hymn-of-the-month #1015 (aqua hymnal) "I can go on"

2.
Soirée is coming up in February. Stand by for exact date. (Susan W the Soirée was a UU auction item last year - hors-d'œuvres + intimate concert of sorts by She Sings)

Here's what we were thinking way last spring about the soirée (not firm, not comprehensive):

Sherri    Duets or trios  Adelaide’s Lament

Paula  Have Some Madera My Dear

PLUS

Please think of anything we could add. We'll continue brainstorming at rehearsals.

3. Starbucks
4. Hubbard Young Pharmacy-- Window

WSSR Schedule

This is the schedule I've put together for our volunteers.  They are: Ken, Heidi, Holly, Gail and Catherine.
The formatting is a bit messed up  but you can see the gist of it.  The highlighted days are the days we have everyone at the rehearsal   ( except I don't have data from Catherine yet) and so we are doing all of the 5 songs on these days.  On the days where only a subset of volunteers is present, we are doing the two most challenging songs and one other.   It might be that I  more rehearsals scheduled for the volunteers than needed, but we can always cancel .  It's much harder to add in.
