FINAL Rehearsal: Thursday, 8/3, 7-9 p.m.

Dear Choral Union,
One final rehearsal before the concert! Are you excited?! This Thursday's rehearsal is extremely important -- we will not only be putting final finishes on the challenging spots in our repertoire, we will also be making decisions about essential concert basics (where we will stand, how we will enter and leave the hall, etc.) Unless you are already signed-out for this rehearsal, please, please, please do not miss it!

For Thursday, please put your music in the following Concert Order...

1. Swell the Full Chorus, by G.F. Handel
2. How Can I Keep from Singing? arr. Gwyneth Walker
3. Rain, by Vijay Singh
4. My Soul Is a River, by Ben Allaway
5. Agnus Dei, by Peter Williams
6. This Marriage, by Eric Whitacre
7. I Will Be Earth, by Gwyneth Walker
8. Come Travel with Me, by Scott Farthing
9. Swimming to the Other Side, by Pat Humphries, arr. G. Dietrich
10. Distant Land, by John Rutter
11. Hold On to that Gospel Plow, arr. Larry Farrow
12. Bambelela/Ameni (you don't have music for these, but they will conclude the concert!)
    

A few announcements:

1. Checked-out tickets must be paid for or returned this Thursday.
2. Remaining tickets will no longer be checked out, but will be available to purchase at Thursday's rehearsal.
3. Concert Dress reminder: black slacks/skirt & solid-color shirt/blouse (any sleeve length) -- please no CPCU t-shirts in the concert.
4. Remember that Thursday's rehearsal will go until 9:00 p.m.
   

This Thursday, we will conclude our post-rehearsal socializing by heading back full-circle to our first meeting spot: Goodfriends Restaurant. One of our intrepid Steering Committee members suggested the appropriateness of returning to Goodfriends, especially considering how much time we have spent together getting to know one another. This Thursday, plan to join some of your new "good friends" as The Union meets for one final post-rehearsal bash!

See you this Thursday @ 7:00 p.m.!

Goodfriends Restaurant is located at 3100 E. Colfax (at St. Paul). Click here for a map with directions from Christ Church.
