May 27 update

WE'VE ROUNDED THE FINAL TURN AND IN THE FINAL STRETCH FOR BOSTON! We will cover all the repertoire for the tour Wednesday at rehearsal and sing most of it for services at First-Plymouth on Sunday, June 1. I would like us to sing both services on June 1 share our excitement with the 9:00 congregation as well. I know this is not on the calendar but I hope most of you will be able to be there for both. Choral scholars, even if you aren't going on the trip we need you at 9:00 also.

CAR POOLERS NEEDED: There are just a few who still need to coordinate rides to the airport June 5. If you are willing to take a car to Omaha for carpooling and/or you need a ride we will meet briefly following the rehearsal on Wednesday.

BREAKFASTS IN BOSTON: The original proposal indicated that the hotel accommodations included continental breakfast, which is not the case after all. There is a deli in the hotel with similar items available for purchase.

CHOIR AFTER JUNE 8: Summer Choir will begin June 15. There will be no Wednesday rehearsals but we will rehearse each Sunday morning at 9:30. Choral Scholars will sing the 9:00 AM service June 15, 22, 29. Further information regarding the July/August schedule will be forthcoming.

TOUR PARTICIPANTS PLEASE REMEMBER: White shirts and black pants and black shoes are required for the concert on Friday and are to be worn under robes on Sunday at both services. Everyone is responsible for transporting his/her own robe and folders(w/music).

I am VERY excited about our trip together. We are going to be wonderful ambassadors for First-Plymouth Church, Abendmusik, and NEBRASKA!!

Please remember our final rehearsal is next Monday, June 2 at 7:00PM.
