Please see the *attachment* for the Holiday Pops sing-a-long word sheet.


*Concert Singers of Cary BAGS have finally arrived*
**
The bags for the following ten people who ordered the $12 CSC bag can be

There are bags for: C. Anderson, D. Anderson, K. Booker, J. Brodman, S.
Cartrette, S. Ebbs, E. Kuroda, C. Murphy, A. Nieman, L. Raley.


*Wall of Wine collections*
**
A few rehearsals ago, Development Committee Chair, Michele Bergeron
described the various ways the chorus could help with the Gala. One of the
possibilities was to contribute a bottle of wine to the Wall of Wine that
is going to be one of the silent auction items. For those of you who have
decided to help out by contributing to "The Wall", please bring one (or
two!) bottles of $10+ wine. We are requesting the ladies to bring red and
the gentlemen to bring white. Your good taste in this is greatly
appreciated!


*Ladies Holiday Pops attire*
**
There will be two samples of " holiday attire" you might be interested in
seeing/buying/finding out where they were bought and how much they cost.


See you at rehearsal!

Message-ID: <069c01cdd371$edb43d70$c91cb850$@com>

Dear Singers,

 

I have attached a PDF of the Master Schedule that includes all rehearsals,
concerts and meetings for CSC as they now stand for the first half of 2013.
Please use this as a guide as it is possible that schedule may be slightly
modified as time goes on. Once the calendar is loaded into the website it
will reflect any changes that may take place and will be the final word on
all scheduling issues.

 

Only women need read on from here.

 

As we have previously announced, we will be offering a women's chorus that
will rehearse on Monday night at the same time as the chorale. The link is
below is one of my well known 30 second surveys to establish who would like
to participate. Please fill it out by December 15th so we can order enough
music.  If you are a member of Chorale, do not respond to the survey. I will
contact you separately to finalize who is participating in Chorale. For now,
we need to know who will be working with Jenn in the women's chorus from
January 14th through March 11th.

Many thanks!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dec. 7, 2012

Contact: Communications Office, (919) 707-2660


*Removal of Hillsborough Street Bridge over Western Boulevard begins
Saturday*

* *

*RALEIGH ?* Permanent changes for the intersection of Western Boulevard,
Hillsborough Street and Jones Franklin Road in west Raleigh will begin
at 9 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 8, weather permitting. The N.C. Department of
Transportation will close eastbound Hillsborough Street at that
intersection location so a contractor can begin removing the bridge over
Western Boulevard.

The work is the start of a $2.7 million project awarded to Fred Smith
Co. of Raleigh to tear down the bridge, eliminate the curved roadway at
that location, and re-align Hillsborough Street so it has a right-angle
intersection with Western Boulevard.

The 70-year-old bridge being demolished is considered functionally
obsolete and structurally deficient. It remains safe, but was not built
to current design standards and is unable to properly handle the volume
of traffic it now carries. It also requires continual maintenance and
needs to be replaced.

Drivers going east on Western Boulevard who had been using the bridge to
access Hillsborough Street will instead stay on Western Boulevard, then
turn left at Blue Ridge Road to get back to Hillsborough Street. The
detour will remain in effect until the new intersection is complete next
September.

Since these are busy commuter and commercial routes for the area, the
contractor will not be allowed to close lanes on either Western
Boulevard or Hillsborough Street during heavier traffic periods such as
rush hour while construction is under way. Lane closures will also not
be allowed during nearby special events at the State Fairgrounds, PNC
Arena, WakeMed Soccer Park and Carter-Finley Stadium.

NCDOT reminds motorists to watch signs for construction information,
stay alert and obey the posted speed limit.

*A MESSAGE FROM LARRY:*
**
**
*For Bill Leslie's solo segments on stage, it is very, very, important that
NO sound of any sort comes from the chorus as you are filing off the
risers and gathering in the backstage wings or loading dock area!*
**
*ALL sounds are magnified and can be heard in the theatre!! Please, no
sotto voce, no whispering, no comments in any form while you are off stage.
Please also stay in line once you re-group off in the wings so there is no
shuffling noise, etc. when getting ready to return to the stage. Jenn and
I will be back stage to help "remind" you that we truly need to be
invisible acoustically. Look to Jenn and me for direction as to when to
file back onto the risers.*
**
**
*Thanks to everyone for all the hard work, time, energy and personal
sacrifices that you've made for this show. I think we have the potential to
put on a wonderful holiday program for our audiences!*
**
*Let's have fun tomorrow!*

Subject: [csc_newsline] Holiday Pops THANK YOU
Message-ID: <016c01cdd752$2f18ffb0$8d4aff10$@com>

Dear Singers,

 

After taking a bit of R&R time following our very busy weekend I wanted to
write to you to say thank you for making our Holiday Pops concert programs a
smashing success. Your singing was outstanding and the presentation came off
beautifully. It's always rewarding for me personally to see what is only a
program plan and concept come to life in a concert setting. The energy, joy
and expressiveness the we experience are precious moments that explain why
we dedicate so much of ourselves to the process of music making. For me, the
preparation work that leads to great music making is as much a part of the
reward as the performance itself. The experience of making music in a way
where the sum is greater than the individual parts is an experience that we
all long for, especially when we live in a world that seems determined to
drive us apart. Our ultimate goal is to invite our audience into that
process and I feel that your outstanding efforts have made that happen in
both of our fall season projects, despite the significantly different
program content.

 

Special thanks go out to Bill Leslie for his willingness to join us and for
adding such variety and contrast to our large scale efforts. I also want to
thank Allen Bailey for being such an extraordinarily professional musician
at the piano and for knowing just what to do at the just right time. I also
want to thank Jenn Myers for her superb singing and for being such an
effective support person in fulfilling the needs of Assistant Conductor and
Concert Coordinator. Many thanks as well to our fabulous board who have been
so supportive in securing the resources to make CSC so successful. Finally,
I want to thank you, our singers for your wonderful support in building our
audience. I have access to the list of names who purchase tickets in advance
and could clearly see that you were deeply involved in creating near sell
outs for both shows.

 

I hope that you all have a wonderful and restful holiday season! I look
forward to seeing you in January.

 

Sincerely,

 

Larry

**
*Resend of Survey Monkeys*
**
If you have not responded to either of the two survey monkeys sent out in
the past few weeks, please do so now, *before* December 15th. Venues need
to be booked, music needs to be ordered.
**

   - recording session: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2WBL829
   - women's chorus:  http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7FGM6D9


*Please update your profile page!*
**
Question: "*Why do I need to update my profile page?"*
Answer: Because it is* very* important to the organization. See below:

**1. **As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, we rely on grants from local and
county governments as well as foundations that require us to provide data
about membership and concert attendance. While we use your information to
comply with these requirements we *never* share information that is
attached to an individual or their name. ****

**2. **As an organization with 175 members, one of our strengths comes from
the skills, knowledge and networking of our members. Your information will
be helpful to us in matching your skills and interests to areas where we
need volunteer assistance. It is optional and will be utilized for *internal
needs only.*

**

*Left behind in the women's dressing room*
**
One white shirt; one pair of blue jeans. Please contact me so we can
arrange a reunion of the clothing with its owner.


*Auditions reminder*
**
If you are *not *currently singing in either Chorale or Chamber and are
interested in doing so, please go to the audition site on our web page for
further information regarding requirements. Auditions are being held
January 7th in Marcus Dry room from 7:00pm until 10:00pm. Auditions for new
members to Symphonic Choir will also be held on January 7th.


*Sopranos and Altos*
**
If you did not order the required Concert Singers of Cary concert dress
black top, please do so in time for the Chorale Choir performance. *Allow
up to six weeks for delivery.* Follow the instructions below:
* *


   - visit www.formalfashionsinc.com
   - go to Separates; Select-A-Set
   - top (mandatory): style 9792AA black - allow for taking a singer's
   breath when measuring (these tend to run small)
   - skirt (optional, but recommended): style 504FAA black - allow for
   taking a singer's breath when measuring (these tend to run large) - all
   sizes will need to be hemmed


**
*Our Spring Calendar is up*
**
*Please note! *The calendar on our website up-dates every time there is a
change in the schedule. If you down load this calendar to the calendar app
on your phone or mobile device you will always be up-to-date. Please check

described the various ways the chorus could help with the Gala. One of the

decided to help out by contributing to "The Wall", please bring one (or
two!) bottles of $10+ wine. We are requesting the ladies to bring red and

appreciated!

Message-ID: <069c01cdd371$edb43d70$c91cb850$@com>

Dear Singers,

 

I have attached a PDF of the Master Schedule that includes all rehearsals,
concerts and meetings for CSC as they now stand for the first half of 2013.
Please use this as a guide as it is possible that schedule may be slightly
modified as time goes on. Once the calendar is loaded into the website it
will reflect any changes that may take place and will be the final word on
all scheduling issues.

 

Only women need read on from here.

 

As we have previously announced, we will be offering a women's chorus that
will rehearse on Monday night at the same time as the chorale. The link is
below is one of my well known 30 second surveys to establish who would like
to participate. Please fill it out by December 15th so we can order enough
music.  If you are a member of Chorale, do not respond to the survey. I will
contact you separately to finalize who is participating in Chorale. For now,
we need to know who will be working with Jenn in the women's chorus from
January 14th through March 11th.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dec. 7, 2012

Contact: Communications Office, (919) 707-2660


*Removal of Hillsborough Street Bridge over Western Boulevard begins
Saturday*

* *

*RALEIGH ?* Permanent changes for the intersection of Western Boulevard,
Hillsborough Street and Jones Franklin Road in west Raleigh will begin
at 9 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 8, weather permitting. The N.C. Department of
Transportation will close eastbound Hillsborough Street at that
intersection location so a contractor can begin removing the bridge over
Western Boulevard.

The work is the start of a $2.7 million project awarded to Fred Smith
Co. of Raleigh to tear down the bridge, eliminate the curved roadway at
that location, and re-align Hillsborough Street so it has a right-angle
intersection with Western Boulevard.

The 70-year-old bridge being demolished is considered functionally
obsolete and structurally deficient. It remains safe, but was not built
to current design standards and is unable to properly handle the volume
of traffic it now carries. It also requires continual maintenance and
needs to be replaced.

Drivers going east on Western Boulevard who had been using the bridge to
access Hillsborough Street will instead stay on Western Boulevard, then
turn left at Blue Ridge Road to get back to Hillsborough Street. The
detour will remain in effect until the new intersection is complete next
September.

Since these are busy commuter and commercial routes for the area, the
contractor will not be allowed to close lanes on either Western
Boulevard or Hillsborough Street during heavier traffic periods such as
rush hour while construction is under way. Lane closures will also not
be allowed during nearby special events at the State Fairgrounds, PNC
Arena, WakeMed Soccer Park and Carter-Finley Stadium.

NCDOT reminds motorists to watch signs for construction information,
stay alert and obey the posted speed limit.

Message-ID: <CAFc-Ag6sUm47eCASz+GFFidJvWKYemirqEiwtVzqebe0P8JE8w@mail.gmail.com>

*A MESSAGE FROM LARRY:*
**
**
*For Bill Leslie's solo segments on stage, it is very, very, important that
NO sound of any sort comes from the chorus as you are filing off the
risers and gathering in the backstage wings or loading dock area!*
**
*ALL sounds are magnified and can be heard in the theatre!! Please, no
sotto voce, no whispering, no comments in any form while you are off stage.
Please also stay in line once you re-group off in the wings so there is no
shuffling noise, etc. when getting ready to return to the stage. Jenn and
I will be back stage to help "remind" you that we truly need to be
invisible acoustically. Look to Jenn and me for direction as to when to
file back onto the risers.*
**
**
*Thanks to everyone for all the hard work, time, energy and personal
sacrifices that you've made for this show. I think we have the potential to
put on a wonderful holiday program for our audiences!*
**
*Let's have fun tomorrow!*
**
*Larry*

Subject: [csc_newsline] Holiday Pops THANK YOU
Message-ID: <016c01cdd752$2f18ffb0$8d4aff10$@com>

Dear Singers,

 

After taking a bit of R&R time following our very busy weekend I wanted to
write to you to say thank you for making our Holiday Pops concert programs a
smashing success. Your singing was outstanding and the presentation came off
beautifully. It's always rewarding for me personally to see what is only a
program plan and concept come to life in a concert setting. The energy, joy
and expressiveness the we experience are precious moments that explain why
we dedicate so much of ourselves to the process of music making. For me, the
preparation work that leads to great music making is as much a part of the
reward as the performance itself. The experience of making music in a way
where the sum is greater than the individual parts is an experience that we
all long for, especially when we live in a world that seems determined to
drive us apart. Our ultimate goal is to invite our audience into that
process and I feel that your outstanding efforts have made that happen in
both of our fall season projects, despite the significantly different
program content.

 

Special thanks go out to Bill Leslie for his willingness to join us and for
adding such variety and contrast to our large scale efforts. I also want to
thank Allen Bailey for being such an extraordinarily professional musician
at the piano and for knowing just what to do at the just right time. I also
want to thank Jenn Myers for her superb singing and for being such an
effective support person in fulfilling the needs of Assistant Conductor and
Concert Coordinator. Many thanks as well to our fabulous board who have been
so supportive in securing the resources to make CSC so successful. Finally,
I want to thank you, our singers for your wonderful support in building our
audience. I have access to the list of names who purchase tickets in advance
and could clearly see that you were deeply involved in creating near sell
outs for both shows.

 

I hope that you all have a wonderful and restful holiday season! I look
forward to seeing you in January.

 

Sincerely,

 

Larry

   - women's chorus:  http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7FGM6D9


*Please update your profile page!*
**
Question: "*Why do I need to update my profile page?"*
Answer: Because it is* very* important to the organization. See below:

**1. **As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, we rely on grants from local and
county governments as well as foundations that require us to provide data
about membership and concert attendance. While we use your information to
comply with these requirements we *never* share information that is
attached to an individual or their name. ****

**2. **As an organization with 175 members, one of our strengths comes from
the skills, knowledge and networking of our members. Your information will
be helpful to us in matching your skills and interests to areas where we
need volunteer assistance. It is optional and will be utilized for *internal
needs only.*

**

*Left behind in the women's dressing room*
**
One white shirt; one pair of blue jeans. Please contact me so we can
arrange a reunion of the clothing with its owner.


*Auditions reminder*
**
If you are *not *currently singing in either Chorale or Chamber and are
interested in doing so, please go to the audition site on our web page for
further information regarding requirements. Auditions are being held
January 7th in Marcus Dry room from 7:00pm until 10:00pm. Auditions for new
members to Symphonic Choir will also be held on January 7th.


*Sopranos and Altos*
**
If you did not order the required Concert Singers of Cary concert dress
black top, please do so in time for the Chorale Choir performance. *Allow
up to six weeks for delivery.* Follow the instructions below:

singer by the following dates:

   - if you are singing in the Chorale March 9th performance - your order
   must be placed by January 30th
   - if you are singing in the Symphonic May 11th performance - your order
   must be placed by April 3rd
   - if you are singing in the* possible* Symphonic performance July
6th - *more
