[New_csc_newsline] The Concert Singers of Cary Choral Notes – 'No requests of you' edition

Sat Dec 5 12:00:15 EST 2020

The Pops is almost poppin’!

So far I have NO (zero) audio files for my video! As a reminder, I am
creating a couple short movies as part of the Pops content. For one I
will video festive holiday scenes at night in downtown Cary. I will
interview a few passers-by and ask them “What do you most miss about
life before the pandemic?” and “What are you most grateful for?”.

I will also overlay responses to the same questions from YOU if you
will upload a short audio file with your answers! For example: "I MISS
in-person choir practice and performances, street festivals, and
hugging my loved ones. I am GRATEFUL for health care workers,
truth-tellers, and takeout Chinese food." This will be MUCH simpler
than submitting an audio track of you singing! You will find further
instructions in the Submission Protocols document here:

Deadline is Dec 7! (You can email it to me if you want – thomhaynes1 at gmail.com)

The following are also still relevant. We have received 5 kid drawings so far…

1)    We are soliciting kids’ drawings with a holiday theme. They will
be used as background under the rolling lyrics for these sing-a-long
songs: Rudolph and Deck the Hall. They can be inspired by the song
subjects or the seasonal holidays in general. Deadline: Dec 7.
Take a picture of the finished drawing - try to frame it well and big,
with good lighting and no shadows. Use this form to upload pictures:

2)    We are very excited to offer to you our fabulous CSC singers,
this chance to revisit (or visit for the first time) our 2019 Holiday
Pops! Personally it choked me up to see us all together again, singing
together... in front of a full house... please enjoy, but do not
distribute this link outside our membership.

>From Nathan re: reh: "Please come prepared to do four additional
individual song recordings, two audio two video. And if you can dress
up, and include your pets, and have your kids do an art installation,
and bake a pie prior to meeting, that would be great....OK OK
OK...this is a joke, in honor of all the great work you've done in the
last several weeks. Very funny, huh?

We will:
1. Get a sneak peek at some of the holiday pops rep
2. Get a short preview of some of what we are doing in the spring
3. End a bit early to give you time to create your audio file for Thom!"

BTW our Holiday Pops show will be live-streamed on both the CSC
YouTube channel AND the CSC Facebook page! Dec 12, 7:30pm. Here’s the
