FROM MORNA
Looking forward to seeing everyone this Friday, January 12 at the usual time and place. Please arrive early to hand in and pick up music. Thank you to John Culter for all his hard work organizing the music for us.
We have three people auditioning that day. Please greet them warmly.
Our first gig this term is the outreach performance on the afternoon of Friday, January 26 at Augustine House in Ladner (where my dad lives!). Thank you for responding to the availability survey back in December. Here is the roster I would like to confirm. If you do not see your name here but could sing with us that day, please write to me at mornaedmundson@telus.net. Or if you are listed but no longer available. The details of time and place are in the calendar. Rep and the finalized roster will be added shortly.
Soprano 1: Margaret, Pat, Bette C, and either Ann or Betty M (could the two of you discuss and decide? There is room for both if you would like to come)
Soprano 2: Sue, Kathryn, Sandra and either Lori or Sonya (could the two of you discuss and decide? There is room for both if you would like to come)
Alto 1: Susan (anyone else available? I don’t think there is a ton of divisi though; I need to finalize the rep list)
Alto 2: Valerie, Nancy, Aldyen, Cathy B, Carol
Tenor 1: Graeme, Ron, Chris (anyone else available?)
Tenor 2: John S, Paul C (anyone else available?)
Bass 1: Jay, Ted Cragg
Bass 2: Barry, Garnet, Peter B, Peter O, Hoot
See you soon!

Changing Spring Concert Date
Despite our best efforts to plan ahead and give you lots of warning about when concerts are, we need to change a date. Due to a professional scheduling conflict, Morna is no longer available for our planned spring concert on Sunday afternoon, April 28. The board is looking at our options for the following weekend. Singer availability is of prime importance. Please get your calendar out and complete this very short survey by Thursday night, January 11th.
From the Library
As is usual with the new season, we have some music to collect and distribute. Could you please arrange on Friday to hand in everything in your folder, except for the following? We would like to have our Christmas books and whatever loose singalong sheets you might have from the past several months.
Music to keep
- An Irish Blessing
- Auld Lang Syne
- O Love
- Sure on This Shining Night
- The Summer Wind
- Tabula Rasa
- You’ve Got a Friend in Me
- You Make Me Feel So Young
It is Morna’s intention to program these for our various outreach visits in the spring.
If you are not around on Friday, it would be a blessing if you could give your music to someone who is. Alternatively, you could drop it off at our place, at 3932 West Broadway in Vancouver. Come through the iron gate and leave it on the table by the patio door. We would like to have everything in by Friday, January 19. If this doesn’t work for you, please let me know and we’ll figure something out.
Thanks very much.
John Culter, Librarian.
