I would like to put together an adult choir to perform at the May 11 Spring Concert. My plan is to meet at least 4 times after school with the group prior to the performance. I will provide lyrics and audio to assist with learning the songs outside of the rehearsals. When we come together as a full ensemble I just want to work on shaping our sound as a group.
