Drop Dead Day
So, Cory announced last week that November 12 is "Drop Dead Day," the day when we will have all the numbers dropped that we will drop, and the date by which we need to know our parts on all of the remaining pieces. He has said to start committing our music to memory, which will allow us to watch Cory and put a lot more expression and emotion into our performance, not to mention how much better our cut-offs and start-ups will be!
Music for this season is $63.00 I will set up a PayPal payment option again this season, since it worked out so well for us last time. If you prefer to pay in check or cash, please bring it to rehearsal.
The dress code for this season is not going to be matching dresses, as we had hoped. Instead, Cory wants us to look like carolers, meaning wear a scarf, sweater or jacket, maybe muffs, and possibly hats, but you still have to do your hair. We will need to wear black skirts, Please bring what you would like to wear to Cory by the rehearsal on the 22nd so he can approve it for the performance.
Our performance will be Sunday, December 13, 2015 at 7 p.m. Please put it on your calendar and start talking to people about it!

Notes From Our First Rehearsal
In going over the recordings of our first rehearsal, I was reminded that there were several things that Cory said that should be posted here as a reminder. So, here they are:
- If you are renting music this season, you need to completely erase any pencil markings you have made in the music. Please go through all the pieces thoroughly and make sure they are all in like-new condition before you turn them back in to Cory.
- We are taking the choir to the next level. This means harder music, better discipline, a non-church performance venue, and matching outfits. Every member of the choir will need to step up the pace by practicing at home, coming on time to rehearsals and doing our best to do what we are asked by Cory.
- Here is a picture of the dress Cory has chosen for the women. Please save your money to purchase your dress. We will get more information to you very soon about the dress. Men, you will be purchasing vests and ties, so be prepared for that as well.

This season we will be focusing on not only sounding more professional, but looking more professional as well. We will be purchasing lovely outfits so that we actually look like a choir. We are also looking for a venue other than a church for our performance. If you have something in mind, or a contact, please email Cory or Karen with the information.
Rehearsals start at 8:00 sharp every Thursday night. Be on time, and be sure to practice at home. We have a lot to work on!

Spring 2015 Performance Files Finally Available!
Hi Gang,
I'm sorry I haven't done this sooner. I got the files all separated and ready a couple of weeks ago, but I just haven't taken the time to sit down and get them posted to the blog--until now!
So, if you'd like to download the files from our spring concert, they are on the Practice Audio Files page.
I've told Siri I would make her a couple of CD's. If anyone else would like me to make them one, please let me know.
