Thank you to those who've been coming along to rehearsals. Our rehearsals Monday lunchtime and Tuesday evening this week were highly productive, focussing on a new, upbeat Gospel-style piece "Joy is here to stay". Special thanks to Avery for starting the rehearsal on Tuesday (while I was returning from the Graduation Ceremony).
Are you a tenor or bass? We need you! Please consider coming along.
The following changes will be reflected soon on ACU Life events.
CHANGE TO SCHEDULE
Due to multiple conflicts for students and staff on November 6 plus several performing groups pulling out, the Pre-Christmas Concert will not be held on that day. Instead, we are looking at a day to do a screening of our June 2025 livesteam recording of our concert. We hope this event will open with a live performance of the choir & orchestra of the pieces we've been learning. Also, the rehearsal on Sunday, Oct 26 will NOT be held.In summary, these are the cancellations:
No rehearsal Sun 26 Oct
No concert Thu 6 Nov
More details to come regarding the livestream screening. Stay tuned!
Carolling at St Vincent's Hospital, Fri 5 December
This is definitely going ahead. Details are in the "event". Basically, we start at ACU, walk over the hospital and perform for about 1 hour from 10:30AM, followed by refreshments. Return to ACU by noon.
Rehearsal resources
You can access resources via this Dropbox link. Please note that an incorrect link was sent in a previous email. You can find a folder for each piece of music and inside the folders, you can find notated (sheet) music, instrument parts, lead sheets and audio files. I recently added part tracks (audio) for each vocal part for "Joy Is Here To Stay". I am continuing to add items.
