Great start!

It has been great fun to be with you for two rehearsals so far. I'm excited about our year and our new identity as the New Choir.

Here's what I've learned so far:

• Having your own folder, music and cubby makes everyone happy.
• You can never post the schedule in enough places. It will be on the white board tomorrow!
• Ray is awesome...and we need more tenors!
• You all have a wonderful choral sound.
• Everyone has a slightly different idea of what's fun to sing. Even me :)
• We are going to be exciting and awesome for our debut on Sunday!

I have a challenge for all of you: The most successful choir recruiting I've been involved with has been when members are excited and reach out. Can you think of someone to whom you can say "Our choir at FUMC is __________ (adjective), our community is __________ (adjective), and our conductor is _________ (adjective) ! I think you would really enjoy it!"

I am very happy to make follow up contact to these people. (Hi! I'm the __________ (adjective) conductor of the FUMC choir!) Just let me know who and how to contact them.

Thanks for your musicianship and loyalty. I'll see you tomorrow night!
