In the home stretch with the Concert Choir!

Today we had a special Saturday rehearsal with the Concert Choir, and we first worked on specific problem spots and then sang through the entire program:  the Arvo Pärt, Adam's Lament and the Ola Gjeillo, Dreamweaver. The Gjeillo sounds pretty good, but the Pärt still needs work. The tenors especially. We've got our fingers crossed! Our concerts are January 18-19.

Right now, Ellen is at Hannaford's shopping for our Twelfthnight Singing Party - next Monday we'll have 14 singing friends at the house for a party "to sing the carols we didn't get to sing during the holidays" as the invitation says. Everyone is asked to bring a few things to sing - to share. We did this last year and it was fun and well received. We're hoping for good weather!

New Year's Eve was a great concert by the Amidon family and the Becky Tracy/Keith Murphy family. This is a Brattleboro tradition; it is always great.
