Greetings everyone!

I have created a hidden page on the Grace website for a choir blog so that I could add sound files. Unfortunately, our free version of WordPress doesn’t allow for this. Anyway, the page is here:

http://gracebrunswick.org/choir.html

I have uploaded several sound files of mass music Stefan Waligur has written (Kyries, Sanctus, Agnus Dei, etc.) for consideration on which ones we would like to do. Please let me know and I’ll see if Stefan can send the music scores for you to review while I’m away next week.

2014-2015 Rehearsal Preferences

It’s Time to think about REHEARSALS again!  So, as per usual, we’ll go by popular availability.  Please let me know, using the poll below, what days you’ll be available this season.  There is also an option for “Sunday Earlier.”  Check this if you would be interested in rehearsing after the new 8am mass (probably around 8:45) instead of 9:30.  This would give us a little extra time, time to rest after, but also prevent us from participating in the forums.

Also keep in mind that Wednesday is a tricky day, as there are lots of things going on in the building, and at least once a month we’d have to change the rehearsal time and/or day due to vestry.
