1. High Notes

• June 24: Another good practice sessions. Thanks to Mike for leading us through the entire rep!  
  • Welcome back for the second time to Ashley Vernon, who also attended our Afterglow! 
  • Welcome to Tom Parker, District Liaison Officer for our area, who attended our entire practice.
• July 1: Regular Monday meeting: 6:30 for Mixed Chorus, 7:30 for Men's chorus, at our regular location at the Glenaire Auditorium.
• Christmas Quartets: This is a way for anyone to increase one's singing fun and improve one's skills by forming/joining a one-time quartet (or other sized group) solely for stepping out from risers and singing one Christmas song at any of our holiday shows, but without taking on a quartet commitment, or competing, or buying matching socks. Just get some like-minded persons, pick only a single song (Music Team can help), and learn it well enough to perform. Oak City Sound's music team will provide appropriate assistance in coaching and song selection, Why not give it a try? We're talking only one song! I can tell you personally the fun that I experienced on Monday evenings improved greatly the first time I ventured forth (in 1976) to sing with a one-time, one-song quartet.
  • Nic Cols is coordinating participation.
  • So far, the following folks have signed up:
    • John Zweighaft
    • Ashley Vernon
    • Nic Cols
  • This program is open to all, even members of existing quartets. 
• The chorus needs to find a suitable location to park our truck.  We need your help. Can each of you suggest a solution?
• July 14 3:00 pm (Sunday) - Performance at Waltonwood Cary, 750 SE Cary Pkwy, Cary, NC 27511.
