Christmas Music
Christmas Rehearsals
Please remember to listen to your CDs. We are now up against a
deadline and have no time to waste.
New Members
Looking for new recruits
If you, or someone you know, can sing or would like to sing, please
invite them to one of our rehearsals. They are usually held
every Wednesday night in the Church from 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. If
you do come on Wednesday and we're not there, either the rehearsal
was moved temporarily or was cancelled. Please contact the
director and let him know that you came. Eric's address is:
stannyc@cox.net.
What's Going on for the New School Year?
One of our members will be leaving us for college. We will all
miss him and hope the best for him.
New Things are Coming this Summer
This summer we have picked up a couple more members as well as have
some old members return from a long hiatus. We are very glad
they are with us. Also in August, Eric and his wife will be
expecting a new bundle of joy. Her name will be Elizabeth.
Everyone is so excited.
Still Going Strong
In spite of the recent "bad weather" at the end of August, we have
resumed our weekly schedule and are back in full force. We've
even picked up a couple of new members....how about that? Now
that we're charged up, we're ready to keep St. Ann's 5:00 mass
energized with sounds of praise!!
Singers Needed
We're still looking for more singers. If you are willing to
sacrifice a Wednesday night to be with people your age who enjoy
making music and having a good time, then come join us in the Music
Room at the school from 7:00 to 9:00. I GUARANTEE YOU'LL HAVE
A GOOD TIME AND WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!
Tubing Trip re-scheduled!
Our tubing trip has been re-scheduled for Saturday, September 4th.
Because we will be going with people from other parishes that I deal
with, we will all meet at St. Matthew the Apostle School in River
Ridge as a common meeting ground. For directions to St.
Matthew the Apostle School, please email me with that request at:
stannyc@cox.net. Also,
please check with the "Tubing
Letter" for more information.
Praise God with Drums and.....DANCING??
Praise God with drums and dancing. Well, not quite with
dancing...but the music is gonna make you want to get up and dance.
We're on a role now with the addition of a flute, clarinet and a
drummer! But don't forget that we still need singers.
Join us every Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. for an energetic
and inspiring rehearsal with the St. Ann Youth Choir!
Summer Practice Location
Starting on June 30th, we will begin rehearsing in the church while
the adult choir is on summer leave. We will do a full mic
setup (for for practice) and begin rehearsal right at 7:00. If
you can make it to rehearsal a few minutes before hand to help
setup, please do so....your help will be greatly appreciated.
It keeps growing...and
growing....
We started our first rehearsal with 3 members. By Sunday (June
6th), the group had grown to 5. Now, with last night's
rehearsal (6/9/2004) we're up to 8 wonderful singers. We're
eagerly working on preparing the music for this Sunday's liturgy
(June 13th). And now that we're up to 8, the energy and
vitality that this group is showing will give the energizer bunny a
run for it's money. Come share this Sunday's Mass with us at
5:00 p.m. through vibrant and awe-inspiring music. See you
there!
Congratulations to the NEW St. Ann Youth Choir!
We only had 3 BRAVE SOULS join us for our first rehearsal on June
2nd. But I must say that THEY are our core leaders and are
truly remarkable individuals with many talents...one of which is
SINGING! Horray! Although in the beginning stages, this group
looks as though it's going to be sweeping the parish with fantastic
and awe-inspiring music. Come check us out every Sunday at the
St. Ann's 5:00 p.m. mass.
Rehearsal Time!
Rehearsals will be held every Wednesday night in the Music room of
St. Ann's school from 7:00p.m to 9:00 p.m. Come join in the
fun and fellowship with people JUST LIKE YOU.
The Choir's FIRST Mass
We know that God is always watching over us. Well, it was
certainly true this Sunday (June 2nd) because the choir had grown to
a wonderful and energetic ensemble of 6. Although we were
still in the learning process on Sunday, with God's help, we made it
through....and the congregation was EXTREMELY pleased. One of
the members of the congregation even said that they couldn't wait
for the next song to be sung so that they could join us.
