Choir Rehearsal last night was AMAZING!! Not only were there 12 people there for the first rehearsal since Christmas (which given the choir's track record is a miracle), they sight-read the most difficult 4-part piece I had picked out for them to do. Yep, there is no doubt about it, Cross of Hope has a choir and I have a hunch its going to grow.
We will certainly sing "Remember Me" for Maundy Thursday; now its a matter of finding something that is difficult enough for the choir to do for Good Friday (there is too much easy stuff in the church's choir music library).
The idea of a choir music library though is a bit misleading. Since the church has not had a choir for years, the choir's music has all been stored in pineapple boxes in a closet of one of the Sunday School rooms. It's not a happy sight for a music lover. But, since people came out to sing on a Thursday night, I have hope that this is going to change.
This will be a fun spring to see where this choir goes, and how it grows!
