Reserve Your Tickets Now For the Performances!

Our choir is performing on December 11 and 12. Because seating is limited, those who want to attend need to acquire a ticket. People who show up without a ticket will go on Stand-By, and will get a seat once the ticketed audience members have been seated, provided there is room. We will have some stand-by seats available.

Tickets are released on a first-come, first-served basis, so start spreading the news. We can accept a printed receipt, or a digital one on a phone.

Here is the link to get tickets: https://mountainharmonychorus.yapsody.com/event/index/54780?ref=ebtn

Cory will have fliers out as soon as he can get them put together. I thought some of you would like to start reserving places for your family, so I'm posting this information here.

Below is a QR image that also will take someone to the website where you can reserve tickets. Just scan it with your cell phone. You can copy the image and share it with friends.

Two More Pieces Dropped Last Rehearsal

Please remove the following from your binders:

• Blow, Gabriel, Blow
• Together, Wherever We Are

Please work very hard on the (few) pieces we have left because if we drop any more, we'll have to come up with long, entertaining talks to fill in the time for our performance! ;)

More Dropped Pieces

Please remove the following pieces from your binders:

• A Lot of Livin' to Do
• Boys and Girls Like You and Me
• It Only Takes a Moment
• Suddenly
• The Telephone Hour

Three More Titles Pulled

Cory dropped three more pieces on Thursday, March 10. They are:

• Where Is Love?
• Ain't Misbehavin'
• Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat

Please remove these pieces from your binders. There will be more pieces dropped as we go along, and our binders will get lighter. The trick is to still keep enough to make a great performance, so practice hard on the pieces we still have!

Dropped Song and Performance Date Set

In our rehearsal on March 3rd. Cory asked us to pull the piece, "I Dreamed a Dream."

Also,THE OFFICIAL DATE FOR OUR PERFORMANCES IS MAY 22 AND 23.

Drop Dead Day!

During Thursday, February 25th's rehearsal, Cory announced that Drop Dead Day is April 14. That means by that date, you should know all of the music. He would prefer that it be memorized by that date.

Also, our performance dates will either be May 15 and 16, or May 22 and 23, so put those dates on your calendars.

Notes from Feb 25th Rehearsal

On Thursday, February 25th Cory reminded the choir that we need to come to rehearsal on time. We need a full two hours of rehearsal time, and Cory needs to be finished by 9:30 in order to get his children to bed on time.

Cory also emphasized working hard to learn our music early on in the season. This means that we will have to practice at home and not just at our weekly rehearsals. If we can learn the music well and early, it will prevent our having to have double rehearsals each week towards the end of the season. It will also make life a lot less stressful for Cory, who is under a tremendous amount of stress as it is.
