>> *Saturday 10-12 am*

>>
>> *Sunday arrive at 8:30 am*
>> We will warm up and rehearse from 8:30-9, then have a "tech" run through

>> cameras, and with us getting up and down, etc.  Service starts at 10!
>> Woohoo!
>>
>> We also have a tech rehearsal on Friday from 11:30-12:30.  It is mainly
>> important for those with solos and speaking parts to be there, but if any
>> other choir members are curious and available, you are welcome to attend.
>> It would be helpful actually for more people to have a sense of the flow of
>> the service before Saturday--will make things that much more efficient.
>> But totally optional.
>>
>> I'm attaching the video to Place in the Choir--I encourage you to sing
>> along a few times to get more comfortable with all of the words!  If anyone
>> needs me to resend any of the other practice tracks--for Sing Gently and
>> Gift to Sing, let me know.
>>
>> Thanks in advance for all of your hard work this week--I know it will be
>> demanding but I hope and expect also worthwhile!
>> See you Thursday!
