November Updates

Well the first marking period for the 2008 - 2009 school year is over. It has gone by quickly, and soon Thanksgiving and Christmas will be upon us. Performance requests are starting to come in and the holiday music selections are being rehearsed.

Music for the church choir is being pulled for the beginning of Advent and Christmas services. We continue to fight for choir members to show up to rehearsals on an even semi-regular basis. People are fighting colds and illnesses as the weather turns colder, but are they missing for other reasons? Jobs, family responsibilities, or other unknown reasons....

It's difficult to maintain sanity, maybe the word should be "energy", trying to motivate and encourage people to participate. I always wonder if it's me, the economy, depression; or is it "their" problem or fault?

Move on, just keep moving forward and be positive.
