SummerSing Chorus Newsletter
Katie's Korner...
Dear Summer Sing,

Thanks for another great rehearsal! It's hard to believe how quickly July is flying by - before you know it, our last week and the concert will be here!

Speaking of which, here are some details about this year's concert:

Date: Wednesday, July 29, 2026 
Time: 6:45pm warm up, 7:00pm concert
Where: The usual spot! The basement of St. Paul's. We'll have it set up a bit differently so that there will be space for an audience and for us.
Dress: No hard and fast dress code - looking a little dressier than usual and wearing bright colors is good, but if you're coming straight from work or somewhere else, don't worry about it!
Songs: We'll be singing all five of our choir songs. You may use your music for all the songs except for Lizela. In addition, I'll be running a singalong!
Cost: Concert admission is "free will".  Pay what you wish or just give a smile. $5 dollars is suggested.
What to bring: Yourself, your folder with your music (which will need to be turned in after the concert), and a snack/dessert or non-alcoholic drink to share! 

After the concert, please stay and socialize and have some treats, potluck style! 

Have a lovely week until I see you again!

All the best,
Katie
