GCS Weekly Warmup (081516)

Hello my singing friends!

REGISTRATION UPDATE
We just heard from Trinity United and they have asked us to use the BALSAM STREET entrance for practices. It will help them manage the maintenance on the carpets. We’ll be waiting with open arms to welcome you on September 7!

PRACTICE TRACKS UPDATE
Janna is traveling, and will be back early in September, so please be patient. It will be a little while before we get our practice tracks.

TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS!
Did you have fun last session? We did too! Tell all your friends! We’re especially hoping to build our TENOR and BASS sections. We experienced a ton of growth over the past year, with 85 members in the second session. We hope to continue to grow our choir to 100 voices. Did you know that some choirs have as many as 500 voices? Imagine how that must sound! Bring a friend to try us out on September 7.

TWO VOLUNTEER AMBASSADORS NEEDED:
Thank you Dave Carpenter (bass) and Jan Upfield (alto) Now we only need two volunteers: One from the Sopranos and one from the Tenors. Do you enjoy getting to know people? Love to see people succeed? Think connecting is an awesome way to make people happy? For the first three weeks (September 7-21) we need a soprano and a tenor. Your mission: Arrive 10 minutes early to welcome new members, buddy new members with more experienced singers, help them find a seat at the front of their section, answer questions, point out the board members for additional help. REWARD: Our undying gratitude, and maybe a few new friends! If you would like to help, please contact me (Lise) by end of August please! contact.the.GCS@gmail.com.

REGISTRATION:
Register early! Register often! Just kidding! We look forward to seeing you on September 7 to sign up for the coming session. In order to ensure that we have enough music and binders, we need to get a good sense of the group number as early as possible, so please make every effort to be there on September 7. Send me an email if you can’t make it and I’ll reserve a spot and binder for you.
