ALUMNI & MUSIC COLLEAGUE CHOIR DETAILS:
We are putting together a choir comprised of former students and music colleagues. If you would like to participate, please fill out the Google Form, linked below. It is imperative that we have a list of who is planning to attend to manage the logistics of this potentially very large choir.
Robin Steinhaus (current Choir Director at Hickman) & Mike Pierson (Choir Director at Rock Bridge) will be conducting all of us in singing a selection of four music pieces. You can find PDFs of these pieces listed below. We are asking you to rehearse these pieces on your own as much as possible prior to attending so we can rehearse more efficiently when we are together on the day of the service. We will bring copies of the music for anyone who is unable to bring their own.
PLEASE NOTE: Per Sally's request, the piece "Walk Down That Lonesome Road" by James Taylor, arr. by the King's Singers (labeled below as simply "Lonesome Road") will be sung ONLY by Hickman Choir Alumni.
CHOIR REHEARSAL: Saturday Sept. 24 @ 12:30pm at the church. The specific location within the church is yet to be determined. Once you arrive, hopefully there will be signs to direct you to the proper location.
DRESS CODE: We are not requiring anything specific. Please dress as appropriate for an occasion such as this.
Extra Rehearsal Option: If you are local, there will be an additional choir rehearsal on Wednesday night (9/21) from 7:10pm to 7:45pm at the church. This will be a combined church choir rehearsal to sing through the music for Saturday's service. You are welcome to attend (especially if you are unavailable for Saturday's rehearsal).
Please note: If you are unable to attend any rehearsals, but are confident in rehearsing on your own, please feel free to join us to sing anyway. Just be sure to tell us you are coming by filling out the Google Form.
If you have questions, please contact
Vicki Palmer (vpalmer@cpsk12.org) or
Robin Steinhaus (rsteinhaus@cpsk12.org)
