SOLO/ENSEMBLE RECITAL - APRIL 9
In an effort to give our soloists and small ensembles an opportunity to sing for judges and an audience before their performance at Regional on April 13 we have quickly put together a Solo/Ensemble Recital. The recital will be held Tuesday, April 9, starting at 6:30p in the Wesley Chapel at the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection (135th and Roe). Each soloist/ensemble will perform one of their two pieces. Due to late notice the recital is not required, but will be very helpful in the preparation process. Singers do not need to stay for the entire recital. After their performance(s) they are welcome to leave.
TRIVIA NIGHT!
Our next fundraiser for students going on the New York Trip is TRIVIA NIGHT! Round up a team of 4-6 friend and/or family and reserve a table! The evening will feature emcee Dr. Weber, trivia, a silent auction, great prizes and FUN! Trivia Night is Saturday, April 20 at the Sports Cave Bar & Grill. Tables may be reserved from an OE Choir student or by emailing OE Choir Boosters fundraising chair Rhonda Hornberger (rhonda.hornberger@yahoo.com).
