Hi Everyone,

We are in very good shape for our concerts. Continue to rehearse with
your CDs, running through all the songs. At this point, spend the
most time using the tracks with all four parts, or with the piano
parts. Make note of places that you continue to have trouble. This
week's rehearsal is the last rehearsal before our accompanist joins
us, so I'd like to take care of any lingering note/rhythm issues this
week.

A reminder that this week at 6:30, I will meet with people interested
in auditioning for solos. I need two baritones or basses for the
solos in "I've Been Everywhere," and a tenor soloist for "My Old
Kentucky Home."

At the end of rehearsal this week, I'd like to meet with the small
group for "Cowboy Lullaby". Please work with your CDs and start
learning your parts.

We will also start looking at Memorial Day music shortly. We will be
singing "The Navy Hymn," "America: My country 'tis of Thee" and "The
Service Medley." Make sure you have copies of all this music. We'll
give out more copies on Thursday, along with corrected words for the
service medley and the words for the additional verse in the Navy Hymn.

The Navy Hymn soloist this year will be Hal Leeds. Thank you to all
who auditioned!

Our rehearsal will be back at Morse Pond this week.

Thank you!
Brittany
