Hello, everyone. Another great rehearsal!
We have a lot to learn over the next several weeks, and it’s completely achievable. Let’s help everyone stay focused and make the most of our rehearsal time together.
When Ross is directing or addressing the group, please help keep the room quiet so everyone can hear and benefit from the direction being given.
Please enjoy catching up with one another before or after rehearsal and during the break. When the break ends, let’s settle back in quickly so we can make the most of every rehearsal.
Thanks, Sherrie

Memory Lane from David
The following link is a YouTube video of our chorus singing “Let the Rain of Your Presence Fall on Me” on 11 May 2013, led by Baruch Whitehead. It’s interesting to see what we were like 13 years ago — also who is singing and doesn't sing with us anymore.
No one is holding music! We all memorized it.
