We have 163 ladies!

Aloha Ladies,
As of today Wednesday, February 1, we have 163 women in the choir.  YAY!  We need at least 100 more to make it a choir large enough for the large choir festival we're singing in.

When you invite your friends, let them know we need more First Sopranos and Second Altos.

We will be rehearsing Amazing Grace, The Spanish Lady and Vuelie this Sunday.  See you soon!

It's time for We Also Sing! South 2017!



ANNOUNCING...
We Also Sing! South- Women’s Choir
We are women from Southern Utah.  Many of us are wives and mothers.  Some of us are divorced, widowed or single.  We are housewives, employers, employees and students.  Some of us are rich and struggling, others are poor and struggling.  We laugh, we cry, we try to make a difference.  Oh, and...  
WE ALSO SING!


Aloha!
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Merrilee Webb and I am the founder/director of We Also Sing! (Community Women’s Choir of 364 voices from the Wasatch Front) and Because We Sing! (Community Men’s Choir of 200 voices from the Wasatch Front).  For the last eight years I have split my time weekly between Salt Lake City and St. George as I have had the privilege of working as the Director of Raging Red (DSU’s Song and Dance Performing Team) at Dixie State University.
I would like to invite you to sing with me as part of the Temple Square Concert Series in the Tabernacle on Temple Square in Salt Lake City on Saturday, April 29, 2017! 
I am putting together a Women’s Choir here in Southern Utah using the same formula I used to make the two Salt Lake City choirs so successful:
*We only rehearse 10 times (once we perform in the Tabernacle, our rehearsal period is over for the entire year)
* Each singer is provided with a specially designed rehearsal CD (with live singers) to learn the music quickly
* Fun, fast paced rehearsals
* Repertoire that is as awesome for the audience member as the choir member
* No audition – Everybody is welcome. Everybody.

This choir is perfect for women who like to sing but don’t have time to commit for an entire year.  I can wholeheartedly promise that you won’t be sorry you joined us.  The details are below.


Rehearsal Schedule
The Choir rehearses from 6:30-8:30 pm

The address is: 675 E. Desert Hills Drive, St. George 84790

Performance in the Tabernacle on Temple Square

Saturday, April 29 6:30-7:30pm

I’m very excited about our literature.  There are lots of opportunities for soloists from the choir.

We will sing:
O Aula Nobilis
Vuelie (From “Frozen”) Several soloists
Psalm 23
The Spanish Lady 3 soloists
It Takes A Village 3 soloists
Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone 3 soloists
Zion’s Walls
And Can It Be
Gentle Savior 1 soloist
El Vito

The fee for the choir is $40 and covers the cost of the music, rehearsal CD and all other related materials. 

The director, accompanist and organist all donate their time and are not paid.

This is a large choir festival so we must have a choir of at least 300 women (there are seats for 364).  We did this in 2015 and there were 120 women from Southern Utah who sang and had a blast!

Pleas pass this information on to anyone you know who likes to sing!

If you can attend each of our rehearsals and would like to reserve your seat in the tabernacle, please come to rehearsal this Sunday, January 22nd.  Please arrive early so we can check everybody in.


Please e-mail me at merrileewebb@gmail.com with any questions.


Mahalo nui loa,

Merrilee Webb
