Welcome Back!

Hey Everyone!

Welcome back to school!

As most of you (except the Freshman with no older siblings) know, I'm a spazz. So auditions are on hold while I finish my Philadelphia Orchestra concert next week.

I was inspired by Jess Urban, so I made a twitter account for choir - www.twitter.com/ABWchoir

Probably a good idea to follow it.

I will email/text everyone with official audition times as soon as I figure that out. In the meantime, thanks for your flexibility.

If you are singing for Communion Breakfast on Sunday 9/20, there is rehearsal Friday, 9/18 after school with Mr. Zimmaro until 315pm. Please arrive on Sunday @8am.

If you are singing for Back to School Mass on Wednesday during school, we will have ONE rehearsal on Tuesday 9/22 6-7pm. If you cannot attend this rehearsal, you cannot perform with us at mass. Mass is during school on Wednesday 9/23 @8am. Please go to homeroom, check in, and come right down to the auditorium.

I will not be at either event. I have a church job on Sunday morning, and a Philly Orchestra concert rehearsal on Wednesday. Mr. Z will be running both events.

Please let me know if you have questions. I will be back at school on Tuesday evening at 6pm.

Thanks for paying attention! Stay tuned here & on Twitter for more updates!

last minute, but here it is...

monday, june 22

hope to see you there!
if not, keep checking for the next date/time!

Summer Choral Workshop

Hey Choir!
Happy Summer!

I would like to do the Summer Choir Workshop the week of June 22.
Please let me know if you will be available that week, and what times are best for you.
I haven't made an official schedule yet, but the concert would most likely be either Thursday or Friday evening of that week.

We'll do some stuff we did at Baccalaureate, plus the stuff we didn't finish from choir this year, and maybe one or two more pieces.

Thanks!
Steph

Choir Tomorrow

Hey guys... I forgot I have rehearsal in Philly tomorrow until 4, so we're gonna have to start choir at 5 instead of 430. Please be on time, and don't bring your cell phones ;)

Spread the word!

Thanks!
