From Dr. Whitmire

Dear Singers – Here is a preview of tonight. I look forward to seeing you.

Welcome to our 11th rehearsal of Fall 2009! Please sign in.

Thanks to all the women who auditioned for solos in the Rutter.

The soloists will be Stacy Dumas, Peggy Harrison, and Dorothea Kamara.

Thanks to all who attended our rehearsal with orchestra on Sunday. It was a great learning experience!

At our concert on Thursday, December 3, we will close with the “Hallelujah Chorus” from Messiah with the band. Bring your scores next week. We use the Watkins Shaw Edition which is available at many local music stores.
