Choir "Sampler" Success...

We had 33 choir members at today's "sampler."

The breakdown:
22 women (14 new!)
11 men (8 new!)
14 people were out of town or had other commitments that are planning on singing with us!!!

I was very pleased with our turnout and the pieces we "sampled" sounded amazingly good on the first try. We have a lot of talented singers. We were able to sing through almost all of our pieces we'll be performing between now and Christmas and the sight reading was phenomenal.

I am really looking forward to a great experience with all of you! Thanks for being willing, dedicated choir members...

Up and Running...

WELCOME Past/Present/Future North Canyon 6th Ward Choir Members!

I've had a personal blog for 3 years and thought it would be fun to create one for ward choir members including rehearsal information, upcoming performance dates and a place to listen to music we will be singing.

My vision for the ward choir is probably bigger than it should be... I'd LOVE to have 60 members, sing in Sacrament Meeting each month, have smaller groups and sections from within the choir perform regularly as well as learn a few secular pieces to perform at ward events. There are no limits to what we can do.

I'd also like this blog to be a forum where choir members can express themselves, ask me questions, communicate with other choir members, etc.

I am excited about the Ward Choir "Sampler" at my home on Sunday, August 28 at 1:30 pm. I do not have an "ending" time as you are welcome to stay and mingle at the end for as long as you'd like. The choir is as much a social networking opportunity as it is a pooling of talents to share as we perform. I've had a couple of our new members express appreciation at being asked to join as they will now have an opportunity to get to know other ward members that have the same interest as they do as well as surround themselves with a group of new friends.

Please give me any suggestions or comments you think would enhance this experience for you and/or others. I LOVE input.

So glad you've chosen to SING WITH ME!
