Agenda for 2/4 & program order

Last night's rehearsal was a really good reading session. This week, we'll continue to read and then do some serious work.

In case your copies got out of order, here's the program order:


Walk in the Light
Oh Happy Day
All my trials
Order My Steps
Sometimes I Feel
Leaning on the everlasting arms
Didn’t it rain
Give Me Jesus
It’s My Desire*
We Are One*
This little light of mine*

*these are from the fourth packet, not yet handed out


As a reminder, please make sure to have a binder and a pencil. For the concert, you'll need a black binder, so you might as well get one now.
Here's the plan for Tuesday:
7-7:10 warmup
10-40 read remaining three items
40-8pm work on All my trials, pp5-7
8-8:05 break
5-15 Sometimes I feel, mm.43-62
15-25 Walk in the Light, pp6-8, adding descant

Rehearsals resume Tuesday, January 21!

Welcome back from winter break (almost). We resume rehearsals on Tuesday, January 21 in the same old place at the same old time.

This semester's program is a mix of some really great spirituals and gospel music, and that means that you can all look forward to some really cool music with a good amount of swing. And it's all in English! There are a number of solo opportunities, too.

As ever, it's hard to get the word out about the Chorus, so please, please, please spread the word.

See you next week!
