[New_csc_newsline] The Concert Singers of Cary Choral Notes – Yeah, two songs that end with ‘Yeah’!

[Thom Haynes]

Guten Tag!



Our next rehearsal is Mon Feb 25, 7:30-9:30pm at the CAC Marcus Dry
room. Remember, 7:30-8:20 is The Big Sing! Be sure to invite any
curious acquaintances! It’s our next-to-last reh before concert day.



Our annual membership Pledge Drive raised over $6,100 so far! Thanks so
much! We are at about 67% participation, we still would like to get as
close to 100% as we can, that really helps us in grant applications – if
you can donate as little as $1 before the end of Feb, we’d be very
grateful! http://concertsingers.org/support-csc/individual-donations/


Let’s walk to the new brewery next to The Mayton Inn after Mon reh!
https://cottonhousecraft.com/ it’s open until 10pm, plenty of time for a
drink. They opened 2 weeks ago in a bldg built in 1900 (a former boarding
house for the old Cary Academy [where the CAC is now!], also was a cotton
exchange). They also have cider and wine.



Please invite/email local friends and family to our shows:

QUOTES FROM REHEARSAL!



-      “I’m the schmaltzification – go with me!”


-      “’freely’ means whatever tempo I pick!”


-      “VAMP until I give you the secret signal”


-      “’vocal essence’ it sounds like a breath spray”


-      “we’re not gonna stop… well, I can’t promise that”

us”

-      “3 blind mice… see how they sing… sadly so sadly”


-      “It’s easy to swoon and schmear and slide – jazz singers can, but a
concert chorale can’t!”
