Ross' Refrain
Is the "Ukrainian River Song" still stuck in your head? Did my plan work, and you now have it memorized?
Thanks
for another fun-filled rehearsal...even with all those disruptive
hooligans! For next rehearsal, I think it will help folks if you're able
to spend a little time with "Son De Camaguey" between now and then.
We'll cover the first 55 measures, and listening to this half a few
times could do wonders for learning it. Using the video on our website, linked here will take you through to minute 1:36.
Can't wait for Monday!"

Mike's Measure
Still Need to Pay Semester Dues?
I
can take cash or check (made out to A.C.I.) for the $50 semester fee at
next rehearsal. Not sure if you have paid? I’ll bring the roster to
confirm. If you would prefer to charge the fee, the registration site
(secured by Square) still is live: https://acithaca.org/groups/voices/join/

Sherrie's Scherzo
Name tags are optional but if you'd appreciate a little help
remembering the names of members you meet, please feel free to pick one
up at the table when you enter. It's yours to keep with you for the
semester.

Singing Resistance
Inspired and empowered by the beauty and bravery of the Singing Resistance https://www.instagram.com/singingresistance/ happening in Minnesota, you are personally invited to gather with singers and resisters across the Ithaca community as we sing in peaceful protest and solidarity with others around the world.
Minneapolis community members are inviting one-another to gather and sing, believing that, “In the context of escalating violence towards our communities and federal invasions of our cities and towns, we sing because song is an antidote to fear, song helps us connect to each other, and through song we can name and protect what we hold sacred. We sing publicly in the streets for the sake of solace, strength, solidarity, to voice our dissent, and to refuse cooperation with oppressive and autocratic forces.”
Thank you!
Kelly D., Alto
