There will be a short, informal rehearsal of “Savior, Redeemer of My Soul” before Carolynn Burrup’s funeral at 9:30am January 25th in the chapel of the Starlite building (where the funeral will be held). If you can attend, great. If not, no worries. Listen to the rehearsal tracks on the earlier post here.
See you soon!

Details for Carolynn Burrup's Funeral
Carolynn Burrup's Funeral will be Saturday, January 25th at 11am in the Herriman Starlite Building located at:
12682 S. Starlite Hills Lane (6125 West) Herriman, UT 84096
There will be a viewing in that same building Friday, January 24th from 6-8pm and again on Saturday, January 25th from 9:30-10:45am.
Graveside Services will be at the Larkin Cemetery after the funeral.
We will be singing "Savior, Redeemer of My Soul" as the closing number for the funeral.
When it's time to sing, please move into the choir area and down the sides of the chapel wherever you can find a place. Please stand in our regular choral order (Soprano 1 on the right side as you face the audience, then S2, A1 and finally Alto 2 on the left side as you face the audience). Please go over your music beforehand so you remember your part even if you are standing next to someone singing another part. I will be accompanying, Elaine Grant will be playing the flute, and Amara Blackburn will be singing the solo.
Do everything you can to prepare for this event so that we don't distract from the energy of what has been going on before we sing. Logistically it will be impossible for us to rehearse beforehand and I'm confident we've done this enough to know how "We Also Sing!" makes things happen.
I'm so glad we get to sing together again and I'm so sad that it's because our Friend passed away...

Our Sweet Carolynn Burrup Passed Away
Yesterday, January 18, our Friend, We Also Sing Accompanist and Soloist Carolynn Burrup passed away. This is very hard news for so many reasons on so many levels. Carolynn truly was an amazing person and her passing leaves a large whole in so many hearts and lives.
She has asked interested and available members of We Also Sing! who sang in the choir when we performed “Savior, Redeemer of my Soul” (2013 and 2015) to sing at her funeral this Saturday, January 25. I don’t have time or location details yet (I’ll post them as soon as I do).
I know there are literally hundreds of ladies who sang in the choir over the years while Carolynn accompanied who would love to sing at her funeral. Because of space constraints in the choir area at the Chapel and no rehearsal time beforehand, it makes sense that only those who have actually sung Savior, Redeemer with We Also Sing! will be able to sing at the funeral. Of course anyone who would like to attend the funeral is absolutely welcome and encouraged to come.
Please pass this information on to women who have sung with us and especially women who sang in 2013 and 2015.
I will continue to post details as I receive them.
Much love and Aloha,
Merrilee

DAY OF CONCERT DETAILS!!!
Aloha Ladies,
It's finally here! I'm so excited to be and sing with you tomorrow. Please make note of the following bullet points:
SEAT ASSIGNMENTS IN THE CHOIR LOFT: I want to publicly thank Laurel Hafen for the many hours she spent designing how to put all of you in your own seat by height, voice part, standing or sitting, etc. etc. etc. She literally saved my sanity! You will be receiving an email today with your seat assignment. There are a few of you who never gave me your email. Please contact one of your friends in the choir and they can easily see and tell you where you sit by referencing the email they received.
DRESS:
All black dress or skirt and blouse. Sleeves that cover your upper arms and dress/skirt length that covers your knees when you sit.
SCARF: Mono-colored scarf (just one color.... one) tied however you like.
HAIR/MAKEUP: Wear it however you feel most "performance-like". If you don't normally wear makeup, you might want to apply some mascara, blush and lip color so you don't look pale and near death under the lights...
If you want to wear other clothes for the rehearsal and change into your performance outfit, you'll need to make sure you have a place to change on your own. Their isn't space in the Tabernacle for that.
PARKING: You may park in the Conference Center parking free of charge if you'd like. Your name is on a list. Tell the parking attendant (if there is one that you are with the We Also Sing! Choir).
1:05pm ENTER the Tabernacle from the Southwest doors (unless they change that instruction) and sit in the pews until we call you up to your very own cool special seat in the choir loft.
1:15-4:30pm REHEARSAL: There will be lots of people doing lots of things (setting up sound, lights, instrumentalists, all the cool stuff) so please stay focused on your part of the concert so we can make this feel like we've been doing this together for years!
4:30-5:30pm: SHORT BREAK to eat something and finish preparing yourself for two amazing concerts. You'll probably want to bring plenty of water and something to eat during this break because there isn't very much time to go off the square to get food. Please don't eat your food in the Concert Hall proper. There will be a place to eat downstairs in the "horseshoe" during the break.
5:30pm: Meet in the Horseshoe for our last few minutes together to focus and set our intentions for the Concert. We'll show you where that is tomorrow.
5:45pm: Move into your very own cool special seat in the choir loft.
6:00pm: CONCERT #1
7:00pm: There will be no time for you to leave the choir loft unless you have to go to the bathroom or grab a quick snack (gals that are pregnant or have blood sugar issues).
7:30pm: CONCERT #2
8:30pm: Meet your family and friends outside the Tabernacle (pick a door for them to greet you). Temple Square Event folks like to clear the hall pretty quickly so let's help them do that.
