Hot Christmas Plans

91 Degrees of Merry Christmas!
As I sit in the office listening to my poor Golden Retriever panting faster than a marathon runner, I'm planning the Christmas musical by the Sheridan Community Chorus. It's just a little difficult thinking of Christmas as I wipe the perspiration off the computer keyboard. But, being the consummate professional, I will stumble through.
The Christmas musical for this year is a new cantata by David T. Clydesdale with DVD accompaniment: 'Noel.' It includes big band arrangements of Christmas Carols, a specialty number for kids ('Everything I Wanted for Christmas'), a nativity candlelight piece, and much more. If you want to get an idea of how great the music is...go to www.wordmusic.com click on 'Noel,' then click on 'listen' to each individual piece.
We are planning a "Christmas kick-off" on Friday, September 7 at 7:00 PM or Saturday, September 8 at 7:00 PM at The Sheridan United Methodist Church. We will have coffee and snacks as we watch and listen to this wonderful musical. After previewing the Christmas cantata, we will have a quick refresher rehearsal of the patriotic musical: 'Spirit of America,' for the upcoming 9/14 Grape Festival performance. Please begin inviting new singers into the fold. We will make them feel welcome.
As always, I thank you for your support.
In His service,
Bud
