Everything you need to know to participate in our ward's excellent choir!
Practices:
Practices are right after church in the Relief Society room, every week except Fast Sunday.
We are done by 1:00.
See this page for one way to practice your part at home!
Upcoming Performances:
June 28 - "Close as a Quiet Prayer" - see details below (Regular Choir with kids!)
July 26 - Hymn #1022 - "Faith in Every Footstep" (Pop Up Choir)
August 23 - Hymn #1210 - "Long Ago, Within a Garden (Pop Up Choir)
Children (and sopranos to help) will be singing the melody. The choir will sing the parts. Together, it's going to sound pretty cool.
Kids! Here's a link to the information you need.

Many members would like to participate in the choir, but for various reasons they are unable to do so.
A pop up choir is when any member of the ward who wishes to participate comes and sings with the choir. They sing a hymn out of the hymnbook (it's wise to bring your hymnbook up with you), just as it is written. We perform the intermediate hymn.
Watch the choir director for dynamics (loud and soft) and rhythms. Most importantly, though, come up and participate!
You may wonder why we practice when we have so many pop up hymns. Here is why:
The choir group that comes and practices are the glue that hold the songs together. They know the dynamics, the cues, etc. Without them, the pop uppers don't sound nearly as good.
We build camaraderie and community by serving together in the choir. Those who don't attend practices miss out on these.
