<div dir="ltr" class="">Hello Lynnette, Arthur, and Nora,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I'm looking forward to seeing you all, and
your singers, at the Community Carol Sing on Sunday.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Here are what I think are the last little
bits of information for you (and what I need <b
class="">from you</b>) regarding Sunday.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1) Please ask your choir members to put
their coats on the racks downstairs in the Vestry.
This will create more seating space in the Sanctuary.
Valuables should not be left downstairs, however.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">2) If any of your choir members are
bringing cookies, have them leave the cookies in the
Vestry before they rehearse in the Sanctuary.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">3) When to come on Sunday? This is a
question relating to rehearsal time for organists and
choirs. I plan to open the church by 5:30. I'm
thinking that the best rehearsal sequence will be that
those who are playing the organ come by 5:40 to have a
few moments to sit down and (re)aquaint yourself with
the instrument. Then I'm thinking there should be 10
minutes or so available to each choir to rehearse. The
UCM choir will not need to rehearse, so I suggest that
the Methodist choir plan to rehearse at 5:50, the
Episcopal choir at 6:00, and the Bethany choir (and
quintet) at 6:10. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">4) <b class="">Please send me the size of
your choir</b> that will be participating so that I
can figure out how to assign seating in the pews.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">5) When we sing hymns during services at
UCM the choir comes to the front of the sanctuary and
sings facing the congregation. I encourage those in
your choir who will sitting close to the front of the
church to do that if they wish. For sure, that will
involve a lot of up and down since there are seven
carols plus the Hallelujah Chorus, but it creates a
nice participatory vibe. At the end of the program
those who are in the front for the Hallelujah Chorus
can stay there while Rev. Joan delivers the
Benediction. We'll then sing the Dona Nobis Pacem
round (which I will lead, having been up for the
Hallelujah Chorus. (Lynnette please give us an F to
start, rather than the G that will be in the program.
That's a friendlier key for all!) </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ELIZA: Hark the Herald
Angels Sing and Good King Wenceslas ARE NOT in the
Unitarian hymnal, so make sure you bring your own
music for those.</div>
