We are a group of singers who meet once a week at the
Unitarian Fellowship to learn how to sing and to spread the joy. You
do not have to audition to join in the fun, just come ready to stretch
your musical ability. Many of us do not even read music!
Children are welcome to attend with their parents.
Show-up....Warm-up....and Sing!
Occasionally, we land a gig!

Domine; Ashgrove; Bonse Aba; Be the Change
We worked on And the Night Shall Be Filled, Bonse
Aba, Non Nobis Domine, and Weep No More. I sometimes listen
to the mp3s, kind of in the background. I don't actually sing
along, I just let the music find a place to live in my head.
It has help me with the tune and the rhythm and timing. See
you next week.
January 25 - Tonight we will be working on
Weep No More and some of the Fall term repertoir. By now you
should have copies of everything in the notebook.
Remember, if you do not have access to a printer, let me know
by noon on Monday which music you need and I will bring what
you need.
We sang Weep No More; The Ashgrove; My Life Flows
On; Onata Lux; Ride the Chariot; Be the Change
News from our Haiti Support Drive Leaders:
Our drive to raise money to help earthquake victims will continue
through Monday, February 1. If you would like to support this
fund but weren't able to attend rehearsal last week or forgot
your checkbook, you can still contribute. Please make your check
to UUFC and write CCC-Haiti on the memo line. The Unitarian
treasurer will send our donation -- in the name of our choir
-- to whichever nonprofit our group chooses.
The amazing news: We have already raised $1,350!!
Thank you all for you support!
It warms my heart to be involved with such generous
people!
February 1 - Great rehearsal tonight. We
are beginning to sound like we know what we are doing! We will
have a complete tally of the donations for Haiti by next week,
but we are over $1400! The money will be sent to Partners
In Health. Check them out. They sound wonderful.
Tonight we sang: Come Spirit Come; Bonse Aba; And the Nitght
Shall be Filled; Oh Freedom; O Nata Lux; Be the Change.
February 8 - Tonight we found out that $1500
was sent to Partners In Health in Haiti. I am touched. We sang:
Bonse Aba; And the Night Shall Be Filled With Music; The Ashgrove;
O Nata Lux; Be the Change.... Sing On!
February 15 - Hope you all had a Valentine's
Day filled with Love. Tonight we had great fun trying out for
the solo on Bonse Aba. At least 10 people sang the solo part.
That is nearly a quarter of our choir. Amazing! We also spent
time on O Nata Lux; Prayer of the Children; Ride the Chariot;
and Be the Change. Check out the gig info on the 15th of March.
February 22 -
March 1- I could not be more happy with last
nights rehearsal! All of our pieces are coming together very
nicely! I think that we need next weeks rehearsal to be even
better! Here are a couple of things you can do to help:
-
If you know of places where you struggled this week please
get on the web page and practice.
-
Be prepared to sing every single song with emotion in
your face. Maybe take some time to think about what your
face should be saying for every song...
-
Be ready to have fun!
Again thank you for last nights rehearsal! I will send out
the concert order asap and see you all next Monday.
