Syracuse Shape Note singing for May 10

[Rachel Fox Von Swearingen]

Hello Syracuse shape note folks,

It really pains me with what we are left with trying to do as a substitute for singing in-person under our current public health distance necessities. I miss it SO MUCH, as I love the community music-making. Nothing can substitute for an in-person meeting. Nothing. 

Let's try to meet via Zoom this coming weekend during our normal second Sunday time. Singing together over teleconferencing has lots of delays, so doing that directly isn't really functional, but there is a method of singing along with YouTube videos that other Sacred Harp groups have tried. I will attempt to walk us through that and we'll see how it goes.

To participate, you will need a computer with an internet connection and speakers. Having a web cam is optional but not required to participate. For audio, if you don't have a microphone on your computer, there is an option to dial in to the audio using a phone. 

PLEASE DO NOT POST THIS ZOOM INFO PUBLICLY. We don't want "Zoom-bombers," and, the more people that are part of the meeting, the more there will be a bandwidth problem for those who are participating. Additionally, on a personal level, I'm not comfortable with the idea of running a big group singing with lots of folks I don't know when none of the kinks will be worked out. I'm not a professional music director. :)  If you're on this email list, please do join us!

Hi All,

Just a reminder that we'll be meeting online in about 20 minutes! I have the Zoom meeting started already if you want to join early and visit and get acquainted with the program.

If you don't have a book, no problem. I can share links to music scans in the chat, and I think I've figured out a way to have the music show up on the screen that is in the web meeting.

See you soon! Link and directions are below. 

Cheers,

Rachel
