First off, we are SO PROUD of how the children sang at our first mass. They had a gorgeous, full sound that really carried down well to the congregation. Thanks so much for all of you who took time to practice at home--it really made a huge difference!
Meanwhile, we're already hard at work planning music for our next mass for Advent, and also looking ahead to Christmas already!
Just a friendly reminder, we still have rehearsal as usual this coming Wednesday, 10/31, despite the fact that it *is* All Hallows Eve/Halloween. There is a Mass at 5pm, so we will have to be sure to end right on time (always a challenge for us...) and exit the church quietly....
Thanks again, and see you soon!
With our first Mass quickly approaching, we felt it was important to solidify our new ethos and have that reflected in a new name: Chorus Angelorum. This lovely suggestion was provided by a parent who said that our choristers sound like a choir of angels--high praise indeed, and always a good thing to strive for!
Just to cover all my bases, I'm posting here as well as sending out an email to all the parents. Due to the MEA break schedule, it seems that there are choristers unable to attend rehearsal this Wednesday. Since there was a third of the choir able to attend on Tuesday, Nicole will be holding an additional rehearsal on Tuesday the 16th from 3:45-4:45 in the choir loft. This is not a mandatory rehearsal, but it's possible, all are encouraged to come!
We will also have rehearsal as usual on Wednesday the 17th from 3:45-4:45 for everyone else.
(Also, I finally have all the "official" binders compiled with enough for everyone!)
