Welcome to our several new members of VOICES. It's great to see many new members as well as so many returning people. It is truly a high point in my week. I have a couple more days available for a sectional if anyone wishes to host. I will have more times after the school musical is over, but I think having some early in the semester really helps us get going on the new music.
I will have tickets for our musical in a couple weeks. If anyone is interested in seeing the show let me know and I'll get tickets for you.....I can get you really good seats!
Stay warm, stay well, stay calm and have a great week.

Temporary use of music scores for our semester repertoire is included in your chorus fee. Scores are collected at the end of the semester and filed for future use. You may mark up the scores in pencil and often will be requested to do so. If you make a copy for permanent markup, say with a highlighter, or copy the score into a music app, please destroy such copies after the semester to keep our chorus in compliance with copyright regulations.
