Noteworthy News 5/17

WOW! Two thumbs up is right! Y'all sang your hearts out last night and I hope you have some voices left to do it again tomorrow!  So very proud of everyone and I want to thank you for joining me on my vision of our "Celtic Journey." Truly some beautiful singing going on and the joy on your faces says it all!

Tomorrow---we need everyone to pitch in to help. With the change of venue comes a few challenges!

• The show committee will need a few extra hands to help set up the risers and stage area. Then we will need some hands to help with stage decorating.

• Look for Barbara Kincaid and other friends at 1 PM to start the transformation!

• Speaking of Barbara...the stage looked lovely last night! 

• CALL time for tomorrow is 2PM at Community in Christ. Please come to the Sanctuary first to see where you might be able to lend a hand, and to find your position on the risers.

• CONCERT ATTIRE still applies for tomorrow w/your solid greens/blues---looked so pretty with the lighting last night! It will be warm so some of you may want to adjust to something more comfortable still in the color palette!

• TAKE NOTE! Due to my required on-stage rehearsal down at the Belk for the Blumeys with my kids, I will be coming in hot for the performance! I will most likely NOT be there for regular warmups so please do a little on your own before arriving. Bill will run point on the band. Barbara on decor. Hugh on risers/chairs. Sherry w/ warmups. Marci with all other front of house things. Thank you to these folks for "making it happen" and to the crew who are moving risers today, too! 

• I will keep Marci/Sherry in the loop with my ETA. IF I get delayed, the band will start the show with their assortment of fun tunes!

• MUSICAL NOTE: Great singing last night! More eyes out of music still needed! Great improvements with diction and dynamics---thank you! 

• PERFORMANCE IS AT 3PM!

• After the show, I will not be able to stick around for hugs and pictures as I have a 6PM call back down at the Belk for the Blumeys! We will hug on Monday night!

• ALSO after the show, we will need help breaking everything down. Please stick around to help!

• If you are not planning to come to our party Monday night, please look for the bins to return folders and nametags! 

• If you are singing for Memorial Day, the National Anthem is memorized---see Kaleena if you need a copy to practice with.

Speaking of the Blumey's, I'm off to the Blumenthal for a Director's walk through, orchestra rehearsal, and meeting in prep for tmw night.

See y'all tmw for another fabulous performance! 

Thanks again for your warm hearts & superb singing!
