Dear singers,

Sorry we missed last week's rehearsal, but we had a full weekend of music and I thought it better to stay home on the snowy and icy Monday night.

Thanks to the wonderful singing of the Present Music Singers - it was an excellent concert and you performed very well! We also had fun watching the parade and having lunch!

We'll be back at Pius IX HS tomorrow night, 12/1/14 to prepare for our next Cathedral concert, Lessons and Carols and to refresh our other music needed for January.

I need to urge you to be PRESENT the next two weeks. We do not have a large choir and each of you is important to our success. Lessons and Carols will be a very high profile event and we want to give a good performance.

Here is the schedule:

Monday, Dec. 1 - Regular rehearsal at Pius
Monday, Dec. 8 - Regular rehearsal at Pius
Friday, Dec. 12 - Lessons and Carols concert at St. John's Cathedral
Call time: 5:30* pm
Concert time: 7:00 pm
*I know it is hard to get downtown by 5:30 pm, but since we are not attending the dress rehearsal, which takes place during the school day on Thursday, we need to get our position and rehearse the movement into the performance area.

Monday, Dec. 15 - Regular rehearsal at Pius
Dec. 22, Dec. 29 - No rehearsals, winter break
Jan. 5 - rehearsals resume

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Emily Crocker
