It was a very helpful discussion.</div><div><br></div><div>We addressed how choir attendance this winter has been spotty and diminished, making preparing music more challenging. Much of this is just the way things are now, with people being away, illness and other unavoidable personal concerns, in addition to Thursday seeming to be Mother Nature's favorite scrappy weather day this year;). Much gratitude to those of you who have been stalwart and consistently there. This, however, is a request and a plea to those who have been coming inconsistently to do your best to attend whenever possible, and to communicate if you can't. We all rely on each other, and our choir is, and feels, best when we all make a shared commitment.</div><div><br></div><div>We also discussed how there often doesn't seem to be quite enough time to rehearse, and have decided to try a small extension of our regular rehearsal to 7:15. We will do this for the next month or so and see how it feels. And while there won't be enough time for a full on break, I will try to incorporate a quick stand and stretch break in the middle of rehearsal. </div><div><br></div><div>If you haven't yet, please put on your calendar April 30th for Music Sunday. I would also like us to do a reprise of our program later that afternoon, for the public, both as a fundraiser and an opportunity for us to sing the program another time! Let me know if doing this in the afternoon of the 30th wouldn't work for you.</div><div><br></div><div>Finally, Marc Gwinn, the singer who sang "What the World needs Now" a couple of weeks ago, will be singing at Hugo's this Thursday evening. I think I'm going to go after rehearsal, perhaps others would like to join?</div><div><br></div><div>See you Thursday!</div><div>Donia</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
