Easter Choir Practice Schedule 2017

Easter / Nativity Choir,
This is where I will post what we are covering each practice...
should you ever need to go over what we did by yourself.

The choir is singing 4 songs.  We also have 3 solo numbers.  It will be beautiful!

To be in the choir, you must attend at least two practices, and be willing to practice online to get your part down.

You must also be at the Saturday afternoon Dress Rehearsal. 4:00 –5:30 p.m.
