[Choir] Announcing our end of summer "retreat"!!

[Steve Finner]

I would like to volunteer to do my ten minute routine on how to read the 
hymnal.  What do all those symbols and information at the bottom of each 
selection in Singing The Living Tradition mean?  What are hymn tunes 
categorized and what does something like  St. Columbia 7.8.7.8. mean?
choristers should know this stuff and as I said, would take me a max of 
ten minutes.
