Good Sunday morning to you-all! We had a VERY productive rehearsal yesterday and I feel we made some great progress! Thank you to those who were able to attend and for doing your "homework" as we prep for the fun adventures ahead! Today is another rehearsal day for me so I'm taking the morning to re-group! Yesterday was a whirlwind but I think I survived, and with a full heart to boot. Our district honors chorus event yesterday went extremely well and I felt truly blessed to have a few of you in attendance! THANK YOU!!!! What a joy it was to also get to share the stage with my chorus teacher colleagues, including Todd Barnhill! Such a treat to sing with true pros!
