Rehearsals may be over for the summer, but that doesn’t mean you can forget about your MCC friends! Just for fun, we’re doing a logowear contest. Post a picture on our Facebook page of yourself wearing your hat or shirt or carrying your bag while you’re out enjoying your summer. Every photo will get you an entry into a drawing for a prize!
Hello folks! Just a reminder that we have one more meeting before we break for the summer. We’ll watch/listen to recordings from Saturday’s concert, share some potluck snacks, and have a generally fun evening together.
Also, it is very important that you return your music if you have not done so already! Several folders have not turned in music at all, and there are also copies of the Star Spangled Banner floating around that need to be returned. Please check your folders for this piece even if you turned in your concert music on Saturday.
Thank you for all your hard work this semester! We look forward to seeing you in September!
In case you missed it, rehearsal this evening is at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church (next to the high school on Bogard Rd) where we will be having our concert on Saturday. See you there!
Hello singers! Tomorrow is our concert at the Willow Community Center, just off the Parks Highway at approximately mile 70. Please arrive by 2:30, or 2:00 if you’re able to help set up risers. The concert begins at 4:00.

Remember that next week’s rehearsal will be at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Wasilla, which is where our concert next Saturday evening will be. We will have one more rehearsal after the Wasilla concert to watch the concert video before breaking for the summer. See you tomorrow!
This Tuesday, April 25th, is our appearance at the MEA Annual Meeting at Raven Hall on the Fairgrounds in Palmer. Our soundcheck must be completed by 5:15, so if you are able to show up before then please do; otherwise call is no later than 5:45. Parking should be accessible from the Glenn Highway entrance (signs generally direct traffic past the Red Gate to the Orange Lot behind Raven Hall.) We will sing our mini-program at approximately 6:15, and then sing the national anthem at 6:30 to kick off the meeting. After we sing you are free to go, or stay for the meeting and get $10 off your next electric bill!
Dress for the event is your MCC T-Shirt (handed out at last Thursday’s rehearsal) and non-faded black pants. Extra shirts will be available on Tuesday, but if you’re not sure if there will be one waiting for you, please try to wear a light blue shirt to blend in.
Remember, we only have two more rehearsals before our first concert, so keep working with those study tracks! See you all on Tuesday!
Hi singers! Don’t forget that due to Spring Break, tomorrow’s rehearsal will be at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church (right next to Wasilla High School) at 7pm.
Here’s an example of our song “Hosanna, Me Build a House, O” for your listening pleasure. This is not the exact arrangement we are singing, but it will give you a good idea of the sound we are going for. More study tracks have been posted as well for you to practice with.
Hello Singers! Study tracks for the first few of our new songs for our May concert have been posted. Get to them directly here.
Note that the Rhythm of Life tracks were made from the SAB score, which we discovered on Thursday is not the score you are singing from! Many of the Tenor and Bass tracks will need to be updated to reflect this, as well as the recordings of all voices together. I will send out another update as soon as this is done.
Happy practicing!
Nice job at Sunday’s concert! Remember that we will be giving a (slightly shorter) concert Tuesday evening at the Palmer Pioneer Home at 250 E Fireweed Ave. We’ll meet at 5:30 with the concert at 6:00. Wear an assortment of Valentine’s colors, not your concert dress!
Wasn’t singing with the orchestra fun? Anna recorded the entirety of “Music Shall Live” so that we can become familiar with our entrance cues. This track and the recordings from our rehearsal last Thursday have also been added to the Study Tracks page. See you tomorrow!
Less than a week to go before our concert! Remember that we are rehearsing on Tuesday, February 7 with the orchestra at the Palmer Presbyterian Church (713 S Denali St) at 6:30pm. We’ll have our normal rehearsal at Wasilla High School on Thursday.
Last week’s rehearsal was recorded, and we have full run-throughs of all the pieces to aid in your practicing. These are not perfect, but do give you the full piece rather than just your own voice part. Please spend some time with the study tracks for any sections you need to review. See you on Tuesday and Thursday!
