What an accomplishment! Congratulations to everyone. In just 22 hours of rehearsals your have put together this outstanding concert. There is no doubt that you can do an outstanding performance of each piece in the program. I am really looking forward to it. (I'm sleeping very well, thank you)What a variety - a little pop, jazz, rock'n roll, comedy, tradition and the classics. I don't know of any other program such as this in the community.
Thank you everyone for working so hard. I know many of you do extra work at home and it really contributes to the strength of the choir and a very big thank you to Trudy for everything she contributes to the choir's performance.
On Monday, we will rehearse the program in the order of the concert - so here it is.
