April 15 Blog Update:

Happy tax day to all of you! At least that deadline is now behind all of us one way or another.

Please remember we have a Boston Tour Meeting tomorrow evening at 6:15 PM
I have lots of exciting info to share with you about all aspects of the trip. There is only one final approval I need at the meeting tomorrow and all our arrangements will be done. Here are the websites of the two Boston churches in which we will sing. Check them out in preparation for our meeting. http://www.oldsouth.org/ http://www.trinitychurchboston.org/

Abendmusik Chorus begins at 8 PM this Wednesday evening (April 16).

The FP Choir does not sing this Sunday (April 20). It is Confirmation Sunday and the Youth Orchestra is playing for both services. It is a good time to catch your breath before our big week of rehearsals and concert. Of course, you are always welcome to attend the services on a Sunday off.

It’s time again to think about section-leader elections. Those interested in being a section-leader in the choir, please contact Choir Council President, Robin Forke. The section leaders make up the choir council. It is also time to select a Vice-President. Remember, it is a three-year term: first year as V-P (President-Elect), second year as President and third year as Past President.

The section leader job description from the handbook reads:

Section Leaders represent their respective sections in several ways, so should be welcoming in their approach to individuals who voice concerns or opinions. They are responsible for recording attendance at rehearsals and concerts, and for sending postcards, emails or making phone calls to members of their section who have been absent without notifying a Section Leader or signing out on the board. Section Leaders serve for a term of two years.

Also, this …

Those who are elected to represent the choir meet at least once a month at a time convenient and agreeable to all. The Vice-President and Section Leaders are elected in the spring and being their duties on June 1st. Nominations will be solicited in the weeks preceding the election. Two people represent each vocal section on the council (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, & Bass). One Leader from each section will be elected per year. The remaining Section Leader is replaced with following year.

Blog Update Schedule:

In keeping with our current schedule of weekly communication, it is my goal to post a weekly update on Tuesday afternoon/evening. If further info is needed following rehearsal then I will do another update Thursday afternoon/evening. If you have something to be considered for posting, please send it to my church e-mail address by 5 PM on Mondays and by 10 AM on Thursdays. Hopefully, the blog can be our single source for all information.
