Congrats to all! Yet another joy-filled experience where we just happen to sound awesome as well! I can't thank you enough for the work you did to rise to the challenge of some of this semester's repertoire; your efforts did not go unnoticed by our audience.
For the upcoming Fall semester, I've settled on the theme of "Imagine," (inspired by our presence at the FUSIT service this month) so if you have some ideas, ESPECIALLY culturally-diverse ones, send them my way at voicesdirector@acithaca.org .
Already looking forward to September!

Anna, you will truly be missed. Go share your talent and beautiful spirit with Syracuse University with our best wishes.

If I cannot fly, let me sing!
This Stephen Sondheim quote seems written for our concert theme. Sing we did! Great job everyone! Thanks for participating and sharing your enthusiasm and talents. Audience numbers were down a bit likely due to the many competing events and family commitments. Still, we can be more than pleased with our performance. Thanks Ross and Anna for your leadership and support. Have a wonderful summer. See you in September!

Summer Sing is an 8-week choral program that meets in the downstairs dining room of St. Paul's United Methodist Church. The registration fee is $40, and music is provided at no cost. The last rehearsal is a free Family and Friends Concert. We know it is summer and you may miss a rehearsal or two, but the music and friendship is worth it. Come join us for 8 weeks of fun and music!
