A good rehearsal last week with all the Chorus back together. Keep working Little Street and let’s put the music down! Hope you are selling and participating in Singing Valentine’s as much as you can. Pete and Rich are working hard to make it a success.

If all works out, we may soon be doing some impromptu video recording during our rehearsals for members to watch and learn from. Please plan to bring a dish and attend the Installation Dinner on the 27th! Social time together grows a stronger Chorus.

Finally, let me plead once again with all of us to listen to what Jimmy is sharing and actually apply it before his head explodes! Riser etiquette when rehearsing; don’t talk with your neighbor during a song or as instructions are being shared by our Director; work on your music away from rehearsal; engage your face whenever you sing; if you’re singing, you’re performing; and DON’t HUM THE PITCH WHEN THE PIPE IS BLOWN!! Until next time, KTWWS! Seve Grubb

It's Time for SINGING VALENTINES!

Singing Valentines is right up there with our Annual and Christmas Shows in terms of earnings and public awareness. Thanks to Pete and all of our singers for putting together 4 Quartets on Valentines Day Friday and 2 on Saturday! This took some time!

Now the challenge for all of us is to make sure they are busy! Counting 20 stops for Warren & Griffin, we have just a little more than 30 sales so far. We usually have 60 and more! Pete has arranged for 2 radio spots and 1 for TV this week which will help.

By now you have your Poster email from Steve Wixson. Please:

•Send the Poster to all of your "Usual Suspect" email listings and more.

•Distribute any hard copy posters you have to good locations.

•Get on your phone and talk it up with family, friends, neighbors.

•Armed with paper Poster copies and order forms, stop people on the street. You never know if you don't try! (I once tried to sell show tickets to 3 guys in a moving elevator. Didn't work, but I tried!)

•If you need order forms, and convenient, stop by at Ponders a little before 6 this Monday. We are having a Board Meeting. Otherwise, just direct buyers to choochoochorus.org.

•If you have any club meetings this week, take advantage!
Thanks for all of your efforts! Rich Wilson
