<div dir="ltr">My concerns are different. I do plan to be there tonight, but find 8:30AM for rehearsal much too early for me. Also, it is very difficult to have to sit through everything twice. Perhaps if we sang different songs and there was a different service it would be more tolerable. <div>MaryAlice</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 30, 2018 at 11:04 AM, Steve Finner via Choir <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:choir@unitarianchurchofmontpelier.org" target="_blank">choir@unitarianchurchofmontpelier.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div class="m_-5754685253654363338moz-cite-prefix">My problem with that it means we are in
the building from 830 to 11:30 (I left after the anthem last week
because I had a conference to go to). I will be blunt. I don't
have three hours of energy and time to do that. There are lots of
other musical options for the service we don't sing. <br>
<br>
( And last week it meant not being able to sing "Go Lifted Up" for
a second time, which is one of my favorites. My little choir in
St. Johnsbury loved it and we used it as a response and did
harmony from the treble clef of the score--but I digress as old
men do). <br><div><div class="h5">

<div>So I am chiming in here: I believe I'm in the minority, but
I would really like it if the choir sang at both services. We
wouldn't have to stay for the whole service the second time
around (that is how some other UU churches handle it, the
choir leaves after the anthem at the second service). It seems
to me, we put so much work into learning a piece, why not sing
it twice? </div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello!
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is a reminder that we'll have a brief
gathering after Thursday's rehearsal to hear the
choir's comments/feedback regarding the 2 service
experiment. Some of you might have filled out the
survey at church already. This session is
specifically to gather your feedback <u>as members
of the choir. </u> It shouldn't take
long--won't be a discussion, just the opportunity to
register each person's comments. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Mary Jean will facilitate and Sarah will record
and compile the comments for use at later church
discussions about the 2 services.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
