Holiday Concerts

Well folks - Our holiday concerts are over and we have a chance to soak up the holiday season and rest our voices.  Below are the highlights of this past weekend.

We had our first concert on Saturday with the presence of CCN recording us for future broadcast.  Their broadcast schedule can be found here, and the first airing of our concert will be this Wednesday, December 15th at 7:30PM on channel 8 (for some of us).  Also, although we were all worried about the weather forecast for Sunday it turned out to be too warm for snow, and our program wasn't disrupted by inclement weather.  You could feel the energy in the air, and the aching hearts at the thought of Rita and Todd's last concert with us, but we sang our hearts out (I think better than on Saturday), and finished to a rousing encore.

Afterwards we met in the rehearsal room to say our official goodbye to Rita and Todd and welcome our new (and old) director, Tom Ruhl, and accompanist, Connie Pauling-Young.  Below is their contact information if you need to get hold of them (or send them a Christmas card!):
