Choir Notes for Week of January 6, 2025
Welcome to a New Session!
· Welcome all returning members and a warm welcome to our guests this week. Hopefully our visitors will stay and sing with us this term! And if you know of anyone else who might be interested in joining us, please invite them along.
Keep Donations and Fundraisers in Mind
· After all the entertaining and wining and dining over Christmas and New Years, don’t forget to save your Country Grocer receipts and returnable drink containers for the choir. Also remember to use your Fairway Market Community Card.

Some things to consider when viewing the video:
· What is the overall impression?
· Do members seem engaged? Having fun?
· Are singers looking at Sean? At the audience?
· How are the dynamics? Varied?
· How is the balance of voices?
Just for Fun…
