Thank you to those who came along to enjoy our special Afternoon Tea at the start of rehearsal last week, celebrating Week 12. We enjoyed a range of snacks and had some fruitful discussion before rehearsal commenced (this photo was taken early -- others arrived later).
Important Updates
- There are NO rehearsals this week. Today I am off campus and tomorrow is a public holiday. You might want to review the rehearsal voice part tracks that have been added to our Dropbox folder.
- Our next rehearsals are Monday 10 Nov (12PM) and Tuesday 11 Nov (5PM).
- Our Nov 6 concert has been cancelled. Instead, we are concentrating all of our efforts on our performance at St Vincent's Hospital in December.
- Carolling at St Vincent's has been moved to TUES DEC 9, which will allow more people to participate (many had conflicts in the first week of Dec, including placements). Register here: [RSVP:62047]
Rehearsals in November
After next week, stay tuned for dates for the rest of the month. I will be going to Solomon Islands, probably the last week of November, for a scoping trip (hopefully to plan Big Sing Solomon Islands 2026!).
Looking further ahead...
Some items that arose in dicussions last week for further consideration:
- Merchandise for ACU Choir & Orchestra (e.g., t-shirt, hoodie)
- Active presence at Orientation Day in February
- Access to new unit for non-education students: EDES206 Social Justice and Community Engagement for Educators. Due to commence in semester 2, 2026, it will include our next Big Sing for a Big Cause as a community engagement placement option. I have made an inquiry regarding whether it could be made available outside the School of Education.
