Great Job Sunday!

Hey folks! Great job these last two Sundays! This last Sunday was even better than the week before, which set us up well for another great rehearsal. We're working on Ken Medema's "Lost Coin". The youngest choir, Joyful Noise, will sing the Chorus/Refrain and the rest (grades 2-5) will sing the verses. We'll be working on the pieces from "Wise Guys and Starry Skies" as well, with 4 tunes for Joyful Noise, 7 for grades 2-3 and 10 for the 5th graders.

We'll have CD's for everyone at the next rehearsal, as well as scripts appropriate for each group. Each week, the order for rehearsal will be: 3-3:45 5th grade only (speaking parts, singing and blocking) 3:45-4pm All arrive; Mission oriented arrival activities 4-4:30 Jeanette in Rm 8 ( 2-3 grade); Carrie Beth Atkinson in Choir Room (Joyful Noise); Matt Hamilton in Horton Hall (4-5 grade) 4:30-5:00 Jeanette (4-5 g); Ronn in Choir Room (2-3 g); Matt (Joyful Noise) 5:00-5:30 Jeanette (JN), Ronn (4-5g); Matt (2-3g)

Sunday 11am and Auditions for Hallelujah at 3:45pm

Hey folks!

Just a quick reminder that we sing and ring again this coming Sunday morning, October 11 at the 11:00 am service. We'll meet in the Sanctuary with our Pneuma T-shirts and khakis ready to sing at 10:30 prompt. We will seat the singers on the piano side in the front three rows (and we will sing from the piano side, so you may want to sit on that side in order to be able to see them well!). I felt that the children did well for only having a couple of rehearsals and look forward to making this coming Sunday even better!



Schedule Concerns and Changes:
Auditions for Kathie Hill's Children's Christmas Musical, "Wise Guys and Starry Skies" will begin for Hallelujah this Sunday afternoon. The speaking parts will go to this year's 5th graders, with a couple of singing solos and one line speaking parts to the 2nd and 3rd graders. Joyful Noise will learn a smaller number of songs and won't have to worry with the stress of learning lines.

Speaking parts: In order to audition for a speaking role, please realize what a time commitment this is and how important each actress is to the group. Each person who gets a role will need to arrive at each of the remaining Sunday rehearsals (October 18, 25; November 8, 15, 22) at 3pm to work on their lines and their blocking (movement and motions). In addition, should any of them need to miss a rehearsal, we will depend on you to let us know as soon as possible.

Recordings: I downloaded my CD from the following link: http://www.amazon.com/Wise-Guys-And-Starry-Skies/dp/B0013GPHMQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1254934201&sr=8-4

I had mine in just a matter of seconds ( I was really surprised at the speed!). If you're sure about doing this by yourself on the net, I'll be glad to help you download and burn a CD from it. I think you'll really like the music again this year (and you can listen to the tracks at the link provided).

Email me at ronnalford@bellsouth.net if you have any questions. Thanks and blessing for your support, Ronn
