From Dr. Whitmire: Dear Singers- I hope everyone is having a great summer. Virginia, the girls and I are just back from our annual sojourn to Texas and Oklahoma to visit family. I will be on campus tomorrow and will have rehearsal CDs for both the October (Liederabend) and December (Poulenc Gloria) concerts. I will be in and out of the office, so if you will let me know you are coming, I’ll leave CDs on my door for you. You can pay ($5 each) later.
As I haved said many times before, the best way for our chorus to improve is for each of us to become a better singer. The best way to become better is to take MUS 131 Class Voice. You can learn all you need to know about breathing, resonance, vowels, etc, and it’s fun! Presnetly there are only 5 enrolled and it will be cancelled tomorrow if the number does not increase dramatically. If this appeals to you, register now. If you later find its not your cup of tea, your have plenty of time to withdraw and get all your money back.
In the Spring will will do an environmentally focused program, with an emphasis on clean water. I would like to invite a prominent public/government person to to speak. If anyone has connections with a clean water advocacy organization please let me know. I will need a committee of interested folks to help with this project. let me know if you are interested.
I look forward to seeing you at 7:00 pm (note new start time) next Tuesday, August 23. I am looking forward to it.
Bring your friends! Its going to be a great year.
Yours-DrW
