It's the hap-happiest season of all!

[Daniel Fitzmaurice]

Just a few reminders: 

Rehearsal is from 7 - 9 p.m. for the month of December. Expect more time to work on vocal technique, your favorite carols, and an excellent snack break. 

While I look forward to hearing your voices each and every Sunday, we will focus on music for Lesson and Carols (December 13th, 10 a.m.) and Christmas eve (December 24th, 10 p.m.) for the next few weeks... see music selections below and files our website. 

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I am so glad to have a choir and proud of the progress we have made in the last few weeks. I look forward to more growth growth and progress in the new year... details to come soon!

So, if you get a spare moment, look over the videos and files below. See you all soon!
