Mini-Performance This Wednesday

Hey, Choir Peeps!

Be in the choir room at 5:45 this Wednesday, May 2 to practice.  We will be singing four songs at 6:15:

Upside Down
The Word
If We Are the Body
Word Up

Wear what you normally wear to choir.  After this, we will break for summer and get back together in August. See you Wednesday!

NO PRACTICE WED APRIL 25; PERFORMANCE MAY 2

My son Thomas has his only classical guitar recital this Wednesday.  Miss Karla can't do the rehearsal.  We're as good as we're going to get anyway at this point with most members over-scheduled at the end of the year in other activities and attention spans at an all-time nadir.  NO REHEARSAL AT ALL THIS WEDNESDAY.

Be in the choir room Wed, May 2 at 5:45. We will practice, then go down and sing.  We will not be on the stage due to the Praise Band's rehearsal immediately after our singing.  We will not have the use of mics or sound equipment, so SING OUT. Wear whatever you want, just so it's appropriate.  This is a casual "do."

Pass this around, because despite e-mailing, blogging, putting things in the Messenger (not this - didn't have time), and Facebooking, some people still didn't know we weren't doing the whole play. I'm sorry, but I'm on three phone lines at work from 7:15 AM to 5:15 PM and I can't bring myself to call 25 more people at night.

Encourage your kids to sing really loudly.  Seriously.

About that play...

In case you weren't at choir or you haven't gotten your e-mail, Karla and I have realized that we are not even remotely ready for a performance.  Some of the kids know most of their songs, many know some of the songs, but NO ONE knows any of the script. It's no one's fault but mine.  I always go overboard.

We will practice only Wednesday nights this month, and then present a few songs that we know well on Wednesday, May 2.

We will then break until August and present some version of the play in September that won't require extra work.

See you all Sunday for Easter!
