Dear Singers,
A week from today on Monday, August 31, we get to join together and sing! The rehearsal starts at 7:30, but all are welcome a half hour early at 7 pm to chat during our “Happy Half Hour.”
Zoom Logistics
You can join the Zoom Rehearsals here. Meeting ID: 858 3293 4624; Password: 121074. We will use the same Zoom connection for all Monday rehearsals. Additional information including dial-in numbers is on the calendar page of the website and the google calendar.
We plan a brief “Welcome and Zoom Review” at the beginning of our first meeting. Our very approachable Membership Chair, Brenda Edwards, has offered to set up a practice zoom meeting with anyone who might want a little extra help feeling comfortable with zoom before the first rehearsal – brendanlloyd1@aol.com or Text at (919 ) 475-1163. If you have difficulty accessing on Monday, August 31, please contact Brenda or Cheryl Denardo – cheryl.white.denardo@gmail.com or Text at (510) 213-3494.
While you are welcome to come and go from our Zoom meetings, we’d really like you to stay with us as much as possible. In particular, we would like all singers to stay through the whole shared rehearsal time our first week (and we do anticipate ending a little early.) We promise that there will be more singing and less logistics discussion in future sessions.
Our first rehearsal will be on Monday, August 31.
