Social Gathering
Madrigal Chorale will have our next social gathering at Social in Birmingham on Tuesday April 22nd after rehearsal. We will be ending rehearsal early for a gathering start time of 9pm. As we need to give notice of attendance numbers so that they can appropriately staff the restaurant please RSVP with the following link no later than April 12th:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdRjZ829bXuhfXPYJcNw9ZuHFBhqgR14k_ePlEg08cvLwo9mw/viewform?usp=header

Number signed up as of this email: 5

_______________________________________________________
Google Classroom
We will once again be using Google Classroom to share practice recordings to aid in your practice outside of rehearsal. You can join via direct invite or via link. It can be found here: https://classroom.google.com/c/NzM0MzM5Mjc5OTA5?cjc=y6pi5ga
If needed, the Class Code is y6pi5ga

This is a new link!

Note: For those of you that use tablets please note that Steve Thomas (derrosen...@ameritech.net) has generously scanned the music and put them in both .pdf and .4sc formats. If you are interested in this please contact him directly. Thanks Steve!

Social Media
Throughout the year you will see and hear several pleas to support our social media campaigns. Many of you may already see our posts on Facebook and Instagram – If you do not please go follow us! When you see these please be sure to react, share, and comment on these posts. The more engagement these posts receive the more likely that they will show up in as many feeds as possible.

Right now this is vital to advertising our concerts and selling tickets! Our ability to have a full and robust audience relies on the participation of every single singer! This is especially important as we approach our Spring Concert which is historically our lowest attended concert. Please advertise this to your friends and family and help 

_______________________________________________________
Health and Attendance
As in recent years we will not be formally taking attendance at rehearsals. While it is the strong belief of the board and artistic staff that every rehearsal should have full attendance, we understand that life happens and absences will happen as well. If you feel the need to give a courtesy heads up to an upcoming absence you can always email Marilynn at in...@madrigalchorale.org

Also a reminder about our health policy: if you are sick, please do not attend rehearsal. While this may sound contradictory to the previous paragraph the ultimate goal is to ensure that as best as we can we do not spread anything around the choir.

Madrigal Chorale Tour 2026
Madrigal Chorale has a long history of touring and is fresh off a tour along the Danube River in the summer of 2024. Sarah has worked with AMA Waterways to plan a trip in summer 2026 along the Rhone river in France. We still welcome more singers, friends, and family to join! For information see the linked Google Doc.
