Agenda for 9/27

What a great rehearsal last night! We have now read through all of the music for the fall. (There is, in fact, one more piece (Biebl: Ave Maria), but I still haven't decided if we're going to do it.)


On 9/27, a photographer from campus will be taking our photo. I'm not asking you to wear concert dress, but please dress as you'd like to appear in the photo, preserved for generations to come.

I've posted videos of the two Messiah selections and Paulus' Pilgrims Hymn. (See the right column on this blog.)

Here's the plan for next week. Please look at the music on this post before next rehearsal. New members, make sure you have binders and a pencil! (This week's new members don't have all of the music yet, so prepare just what you have.)
