GCS WEEKLY WARMUP (120316)
Posted December 6, 2016Hello my singing friends!
Is anyone else starting to get ear worms? I woke up this morning humming Red Red Rose. Makes me wonder what kind of dreams I’m having!
CONCERT GUEST PERFORMERS: If you know of a small group that would like to perform at our next concert for 15 minutes, we would love to hear from you.
CONCERT VOLUNTEERS: Barb Moldenhauer has graciously agreed to act as Concert Organizer again, but she’s going to need help! If you would like to pitch in, please contact Barb at moldenhauer.b@sympatico.ca.

Hello
*** Nella Fantasia small group please stay for 10-15 minutes after choir***
PLEASE DO NOT WEAR SCENTS TO PRACTICE: A favour: I have been asked to remind you that some of us are very sensitive to perfumes. One soprano in particular gets quite ill when she is near strong perfume. It would be a shame if she had to quit as a result. Please don’t wear scents to our practices. Thank you!!
