I’m excited to announce that we are investigating the possibility of a San Angelo CHS Alumni Choir this year at our Christmas Concert (Monday, December 14, 7 PM at Holy Angels Church). I’m so excited about this possibility and for the chance to see many of you again and meet many of the older alumni.
We would perform the traditional pieces with the entire choir department (“Carol of the Bells” and “Night of Silence”) as well as one or two pieces (time permitting) just as an alumni choir. If there is enough response and interest to this email, I will proceed with emailing out sheet music and part tracks to the songs for you to practice with. We would be able to use folders/music on the two Alumni Choir only pieces, so don’t worry about that too much.
For this to work, I need to get a good idea of who all would be able to participate and know that we have some balance to the vocal parts. This email is your invitation, but PLEASE forward this to any alumni you are aware of because I may not have contact information for many of them. Current choir parents, alumni from the past decades, recent alumni…all are invited! Share this on Facebook, text it, forward it, just please invite everyone you can think of.
Please fill out (and have your friends fill out) this extremely brief form within the next day or two, so I can get some sense of whether or not this is worth pursuing. Form is here: https://chschoir.wufoo.com/forms/r1tzfv0y0l46s47/. If we do not have enough interest or part balance by the end of the day on Thursday, we'll have to scrap our plans until next year.
Lastly, we would need to have one rehearsal prior to the concert. The form asks for a selection of times that would work for you and I’ll pick the best time based upon the majority of the respondents.
Even if you cannot participate this year, please complete the form to let me know that this is interesting to you for future years and so I have your email address for future newsletters. Whether singing with us or not, I hope to see you at the Christmas Concert on December 14.
