Some Music Notes
Oct. 5, 2009 |

In The Spirit of Christmas...
Since our fall semester program is a combination of music and the spoken word, Brad is still interested in hearing from members who know of meaningful or fun stories or poems in the spirit of Christmas. If you are having difficulty coming up with something, please review the lyrics or the history of the music we are singing. There is undoubtedly food for thought waiting to be harvested! |

AND THE ORDER IS...
Here is the music order for Oct. 5:
7:00 - 8:30

Please take a minute to arrange the pieces in this order in your folder. And please use your folder every week. We need the quiet page turning practice, and holding the folder now will make things easier come concert time. Thanks.
