June 15, 2010 Chorale Notes

Chorale and Jon,

Thanks for singing so well last night at Chick-fil-a and at the Fairmont. They loved you at both places! Some of you who were ill or unable to sing on June 5 were able to join us last night, which allowed you to sing the pieces after all those rehearsals.

Everyone, thanks for a great year! To recap the last nine months, we had

our '50's concert
Christmas music in Manassas and Williamsburg
Voices United with Eric Nelson
the Hylton Dedication Ceremony
the Hylton Family Day
our Spring Concerts
all our community performances

We got to sing some great music with a group of wonderful singers and friends, an outstanding accompanist, excellent guest instrumentalists and soloists to appreciative audiences in some exciting venues. As the songwriter wrote, "Who could ask for anything more?" Give yourself a pat on the back before we move onward and upward!

Those of you who had conflicts last night, please note the following:

Please bring the music you'd like to donate by Manassas Baptist and put it on the piano bench outside my office on the top floor (newar the choir robes). We want to catalogue all this music as soon as possible.
Survey says...please complete them ASAP and send them to manassaschorale@live.com or bring them to Becky at MBC.
We'll have auditions for new Chorale members on July 7 at 7:00 PM in the choir room at MBC. Be in touch with someone who needs to join us and encourage him/her to audition now and be all set for our first rehearsal on August 31. Singers can call me for an audition time.
If you want to go to D. C. next Tuesday to sing the Mozart Requiem, let me know right away. So far, I have 4 singers who are interested.
I'll update you with specifics about the Civil War music rehearsals and performance as soon as I hear more from Ken Elston.
I have extra Spring Concert programs for those who'd like to share them with prospective members or prospective patrons. Reply to this e-mail and I'll put your name on some and leave them out for you.
Polo shirts are available if you ordered one. Wear it this summer to advertise our group. Warning: if you wear it to Best Buy, they'll think you work there!

Thanks again for making this a special year and a big thank you to Diana, Meryl, Susan, Wayne and all our committee chairs and members for your outstanding work! Have a great summer.
Your fearless leader/mama,
Becky
