Hello singers.


I was pleased to see so many of you putting up your hand to participate in possible mini-concerts in Agassiz and Harrison on July 1st. It would be another chance to perform the songs we have spent months preparing. I have contacted the organizers again and hope to hear back from them before our next rehearsal.


As we get closer to finishing the learning of notes and start adding details, it might be worth your while to record the rehearsal or the sectional practices to refresh your memory. Focus on the newer BLACK FLY song (all),

THE LOG DRIVER (ladies) and anything else that needs your attention.


Our "farewell" song that we use to end our spring concerts:

THE PARTING GLASS (all) - choose which part you'd like to sing - link is here:


An extra very thorough sectional practice is in order: here are two possible dates: the evening of FRIDAY APRIL 10 and/or the morning of SATURDAY APRIL 11.....look at your calendars and I will ask the next rehearsal who is available. Thanks.


Regarding the BCCF raffle, Lisa still has a couple of books of the paper tickets to sell.... For online tickets, remember to send the raffle information to your contacts, to encourage them to buy tickets to support our choir, and purchase some yourself - every ticket sold on our behalf benefits us. Here is the link to send them: https://bccf.rafflenexus.com/order


And last, I forgot that I had made out this list for your listening pleasure (see below)


Keep dry in this wet weather!


Brenda
