Help us WIN a grant from Bangor Savings Bank!
Every year, Bangor Savings Bank holds a vote to award grants to Maine nonprofits. Voting is quick and easy, so if you could vote for us here, we would really appreciate it - and please share about it. Thank you to Jean (our music librarian) and Charme (a member of our board) for suggesting this!
Please VOTE for Midcoast Community Chorus here: https://www.bangor.com/the-bangor-savings-bank-foundation/cmm/
Monday is the last day to sign up! Late registration is from 5:00 - 6:30pm this coming Monday 2/24/25. Bring along anyone you know who might like giving chorus a try!
AUDITIONS TO BE IN THE SMALL GROUP OF SINGERS will be held on March 3rd and March 10th from 5:30-6:30pm.
The small group is an open audition to sing one additional song called "When The Earth Stands Still". The attached document is the section being used for auditions - the part is section 'E' until the end. You can also find it online here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZQaXZNmUUkunmMLGw-38f7v-CEQQaEdP/view?usp=sharing
The practice tracks are also up here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tY2wxesqAQEDiVaZB3NZHEoEykPeOjDi
Note: *Sopranos should only learn the Soprano 2 part for now. We will make a reminder announcement on Monday and have the sign up sheet for anyone else who wants to join the audition group. Auditions will be in 4 minute slots that I will send to you. We hope the song will have ~28-30 singers, so don’t be shy!
Rehearsal (on 2/24) starts at 6:30pm
Here are the songs Kim plans to rehearse on Monday, February 10th
In Meeting We are Blessed, measure 30 - end - We will review parts then we will run the whole piece.
All of Me - Listen to recording then work parts measure 48 - end
Bridge Over Troubled Water - review and try with pianobreak
Let Me Listen - review parts, then run the whole piece
Song of Life - review pick-ups to measure 95 - end - If we have time run measure 72 - end
What the World Needs Now - Review chordal parts (ex. measure 36 - 39) then run the whole piece - but instead of everyone singing a solo....we will break it up more that how we did the first time we sang through it.
