Hope - Courage - Resistance
Rehearsals start March 18 @ 7pm
Every Wednesday Nights @ 7 PM at Grace Episcopal Church, 819 Madison St, Syracuse
- Please enter the church through the doors in the center of the building on the Madison Street side.
- Early arrival is much appreciated. When you arrive, please don a name tag, fill out a registration form, sign in on the attendance sheets, and collect your music.
- Newcomers will be welcomed and advised where to find these things.
We’re hoping to find people who are willing to help with some early volunteer needs. Can you lend a hand?
Choir Besties
We’ve started a program to welcome new singers into the choir and get them off to a good start. Each new singer will have a “choir bestie,” a buddy to introduce them to people, show them the ropes, answer their questions, and make sure they have what they need to be a happy and successful member.
If that’s something you’re willing to help with, please contact Tracy at tracyjoholmes@gmail.com or (315) 708-7077.
Setup / Cleanup Crews
At each rehearsal there are setup and cleanup tasks that need to be done, and many hands make light work.
- If you’re willing to arrive by 6:30 to help with set up, please contact Shanah at (315) 880-1796.
- If you’re willing to help with cleanup and can stay until 9:15, please contact Tracy at tracyjoholmes@gmail.com or
(315) 708-7077.
