This week we’ll be polishing our songs for the October 4th concert, including the Alaska Flag Song, reviewing the work we’ve done so far on Christmas music and learning some new sections of What Sweeter Music, Solstice Song, and There Shall A Star from Jacob Come Forth. If you are singing a solo on Octover 4th or participating in one of the smaller group pieces, please be prepared to stay until 9:15 to go over those.
Thanks for the hard work you’ve put in already! This is going to be a wonderful season!
