     Ross' Refrain
 
     I'm chomping at the bit to get working on these pieces again! Please feel free to look at any of the songs we'll focus on this Monday (list here), with an added focus on the 2 pieces we're most likely to sing at the Baptist Church service, 4/19, Everybody Rejoice, and Ukrainian River Song.
 
See you Monday!"

$$ Thanks and How VOICES Funding Works
      Thank you for your support and participation in VOICES. Your dues and contributions are keys to providing the VOICES experience.
      The two charts below show typical income and expenses for a VOICES semester. You will note that expenses exceed income. That is partially offset by fundraising by our parent Affiliated Choruses and we do have access to a modest reserve fund we can draw from when necessary. Concert income is important as well and we will need your help in making sure a good crowd enjoys our performance.
 


  
         Sherrie's Scherzo

    I hope you're all enjoying the peaks of nice weather between the rain drops. 
Just a few notes for our upcoming church gigs;
-- Our attire is "all black" and VOICES scarves will be provided at the church.
-- Please have the selected pieces in a black folder.  
-- Plan on being there for the entire service. We hope many of you will be able to attend.
 
Thank you!
Sherrie
