[Choir] 2 service feedback after Thursday rehearsal

[Steve Finner]

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.

( 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).
