Updated Practice Files

Hi Singers!

I have started to save the audio files from our rehearsals under the Practice Audio Files tab. This way you can hear how we currently sound and also there are songs there that were dropped last year. So, please listen to those songs and practice so that we will sound better next time we sing them!

Also, Cory has asked us to memorize our first and last pieces. Those are I Love a Broadway Show, and The Impossible Dream. He would also like us to work on and commit to memory More I Cannot Give You, and It Only Takes a Moment.

MHC Motto, by Rain Jeppson

M.H.C. Motto

My vowels will go from floor to ceiling

I'll know my part and sing with feeling

No "h's", no sliding, no reaching for notes

Just nice warm tones and open throats

On the edge of my seat is where I'll sit

I won't plod along or talk a bit

When I resolve I'll do it proud

I won't be afraid to sing it loud

Vibrato is nice, in small amounts

Remember warmth is what really counts 

I'll watch for cutoffs, my words I won't chew

I'll breathe from the gut, and when we are through

I'll practice and practice and practice some more

And be ready to shine when I walk through that door.

Spring 2017 Music

We practiced hard last spring, but, due to unusual circumstances, didn't have a performance. The good news is, we didn't waste effort. We're going to perform those songs this spring!

Here's a list of the songs we ended up with last year. I don't know if Cory will re-add some that we dropped, since we will likely have time to work on them.

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.
