GCS Weekly Warmup (100817)
Posted October 16, 2017Hello my singing friends!
Are you excited to be singing at the River Run with Guelph Chamber Choir November 4? Please tell your friends through email or FaceBook! It would be great to have a crowd of our peeps in the audience! For more information on the event and ticket prices, click here: http://riverrun.ca/whats-on/gcc-celebration-150/
We will be “On Book” at Canada 150
We will be using our binders at the Canada 150 concert. No doubt with all our practicing we won’t “need” the books, but it’s always nice to know we have them if we fear forgetting a lyric or two.
Canada 150 Program
This Wednesday, we will have a list of our members’ names to be included with the Canada 150 concert program. Please take a moment to check the spelling of your name. If you won’t be performing, please strike your name out. (If you can’t make the practice this Wednesday and want to verify your name or advise us you won’t be performing on November 4, please reply to this email).
When do we find out what we sound like with the others?
Our first practice with the other choirs will be on Monday October 23 at the Guelph Youth Music Centre. This date and other practices are listed at bottom of this email.

You’re all welcome to join us after choir for a cuppa tea or your bevvie of choice at the Pennywhistle. We enjoy talking about what we’re singing, and of course it’s always fun to make new friends.
REMINDERS:
Please use the Balsam Street Entrance
Trinity United is trying to manage cleaning costs. If you feel you must use the parking lot entrance, please remove your shoes at the door.
No boots in the Sanctuary!
Don’t forget to bring slippers or shoes!
Be Scent Savvy:
Some of us are very sensitive to scents. This can include hair spray, body lotion, and other scented products. Because you wear it all the time, you may not even realize that your scent is affecting others. Please give a thought to the products you wear, and please don’t wear scents to our practices. Thank you!!
