[Choir] Fwd: Invitation to General Assembly for Choir Members

[Richard Riley]

Dear Choir,

Back in February I sent information about singing in the choir at the UU
General Assembly that was to be held in Providence, RI, but as you probably
know, that had to be cancelled. It's *possible* that I sent this NEW
information about the VIRTUAL General Assembly at which Joan will be
preaching, but I can't find it in my "sent" folder so here it is again.

This from Joan:

Although General Assembly will be all virtual this year, I just learned
that there WILL still be a Choir - a GA Virtual Choir! It will be singing
just one piece which will be featured in the Sunday Morning service.

Anyone who is officially registered for GA can participate in the choir.
Registration costs $150. https://www.uua.org/ga/off-site/registrants

Further details will be available soon. I think choir participation will
mean individual singers recording themselves singing their part and then
all those recordings will be put together for the final piece.

Please share this invitation with our UCM Choir to register for GA
especially if they might be interested in participating in the Virtual
Choir.

With excitement,
Joan

Hi Dick,

I wanted to extend a special invitation to our UCM Choir to participate in
General Assembly this year and to consider joining the General Assembly
Choir. More information here:
https://www.uua.org/ga/program/contribute/choir.

The GA Choir usually sings at two of the services throughout GA including
the Sunday Morning service. It would be such a thrill (and also comforting)
to have some UCM choir members in the mix!

The choir is open to lay people, clergy, choir directors...anyone who
registers for GA is eligible to be part of the choir!

Please do pass along this note to the choir. I'd love for some of them to
consider attending GA, and if some of them were in the choir as well, that
would warm my heart :)

Joan

PS - If anyone wants a sense of what it's like to sing with the choir, they
can watch pieces of this video of last year's Sunday morning service. The
choir is singing right at the start and again at 1:04:50 - two very
different pieces of music. https://www.uua.org/ga/past/2019/worship/sunday

PPS - Any UCM members who register and also serve as an official delegate
can have their registration fee paid by the church. The early registration
fee for the whole conference until March 15th is $400.
