I greet you this evening with great appreciation for the hard work, dedication, cooperation and musical growth experienced throughout 2024. Simply saying thank you seems to be a shallow expression of how deeply I appreciate your hard work and commitment to our program. Our staff has meet and is working together in preparation for new experiences, new music and membership growth. The achievement of your improved musical abilities allows us to move forward into the never-ending world of expressive growth. It’s a privilege to be working with Cathy, Bev, and Cal and all four of us are looking forward to the unlimited possibilities which await us in 2025!
Please find below the rehearsal plans for January. Our Teaching Team is excited about new class activities, music, and growing membership. We have planned new experiences for you all and hope that you realize that each of these opportunities have been organized for your growth! Participation in classes will expand your abilities and correct old habits. We believe that small changes in our class and rehearsal schedule will be an improvement and will work for a continued improvement of all our ensembles. I’m excited!!!
