HOWEVER…The Ecce Cor Meum books ARE RENTALS!! Thou shall (1) take great care with your book; (2) be responsible for REMOVING any marks you make in your book.

Do remember to bring back/return your WINTER music and give it to MELODY K. (alto)

There will be a mystery song  to be sung with children’s chorus – TBD.

When singing, remember to CENTRALIZE YOUR SOUND or “reduce your jaw flappin’. “

I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend!!  I just wanted to send an email to remind you of the dress rehearsal tomorrow night at the new UHS auditorium.  You can park in the front parking lot and go into the doors with “Auditorium” above.  Please come at 7:00 PM so that we can do a warm up and get you set on the risers so we can start the run through as close to 7:30 as possible.
