Dear [FIRST_NAME],

There are now almost 40 people signed up iin the ACU Choir and Orchestra. (And Fr Michael was there with us last week!). If you have not come along yet, you are still most welcome to join us!

Orchestra members: You will be contacted soon to assign parts, share music, and plan one or two preliminary rehearsals. We are in the process of acquiring the music for you now. 


CONGRATULATIONS

I am thrilled to announce that Will Wray from La Trobe University has accepted the postion of Project Coordinator for Big Sing for a Big Cause 2025! Will particpated in the 2024 project. He brings a ton of relevant experience and is a fantastic addition to our leadership team. 


RESOURCES

There are resources available to help you. On our website, go to the RESOURCES menu and select MUSIC 2025. From there, you can find song lyrics, sample videos, and links to rehearsal tracks in SoundCloud and YouTube. We're now half-way through semester 1, so it's time to start consilidate what we've learned so far and finish learning the remaining music!

Music is being distributed for you to take home. Free for ACU students. Nominal fee for others (which you can pay when you join the BIG SING in ACU Life).

RECRUITMENT

We have excellent BIG SING signage on the campus TV screens and physical signs in a couple of places, and we've been mentioned in Student Life bulletins, but we REALLY need to get some posters put up. I'll print some and bring to the next few rehearsals. Please consider adding them to noticeboards around campus. Please note that our project IS APPROVED by Student Life.

Save the date! Details are being discussed. We will most likely meet at 11:45AM to get warmed up. Regular rehearsal will continue after the Mass.
