[New_csc_newsline] The Concert Singers of Cary Choral Notes – Quoth the Raven –> ‘plenty!’

[Thom Haynes]

Ja!



Our next rehearsal is Mon Feb 4 7:30-9:30pm at the CAC M Dry room.


Laura Moore has confirmed - you can buy $10 tickets at the door
(cash/check only) for you and anyone you bring to this Sat's Bach
concert!!!!! Please come and support the choir, it is going to be a
really cool and unique show. From Nathan: "*If you sing in a church
choir please invite your fellow church music lovers - this concert is
perfectly suited to people with an interest in church music.*" SFUMC
has 800 seats, let's fill lots of 'em! You can listen to Nathan’s
interview on WCPE about this program here: https://bit.ly/2MHaqTk



We have run out of much of the GAS music! We try to keep costs low by
not ordering more than we need. Additional music will be ordered Thu
at 2pm. That said, if you are still missing any of the 8 pieces,
please let Nathan (or Thom) know B4 Thu 2pm! Or if you have not yet
picked up any of the 8 pieces (that is, you've missed the first two
rehs) and do plan to attend Mon reh, please let Nathan know B4 Thu
2pm! Finally, let him know if you happen to have an extra copy of any
of the pieces.


Please let us know if you will not be available to sing the May 5, 3pm
show in Durham at the Carolina Theatre. That will help Nathan plan.



I forgot to mention in the last C Notes that the login on our web page
has moved up from the bottom to on the ‘Sing with CSC’ menu bar
dropdown. An improvement!
