I know it will be difficult, but I'm confident we can get prepared for Nov
21st. We may have to use just a small core group, but we CAN do it.

It's true - we lost quite a few singers over the summer. We really should
gauge how many members are willing to commit on Nov. 21. I am in favor of
sending an email requesting sign-ups for that concert, along with a physical
sign-up sheet at our next meeting.
Regarding music: Deirdre? What do you think? I don't think I can contribute a
suggestion on this end.. But we should certainly err on the safe side.
Finally: maybe I don't have a good sense for this, but: I think that even if
we can wrangle just nine singers, we will probably sound fine. Wasn't that
similar to our turnout for St. Nicholas @ Scarborough? Anyway, that is
certainly more of a Deirdre question; besides, we can't really do much more
than hypothesize without a rough idea from our sign-up sheet efforts.

Evening all,
I am in a quandary - we want to do a concert in two months - November 21,
most likely at Skillins in Falmouth. To make a success of it we need members
and commitments and to know what we will be singing - hopefully music we are
familiar with since two months is not a lot of time. Last Thursday a total
of nine singers assembled. We have recently heard from two of our regulars -
Linda Carleton (soprano) and Julie Caniff (alto), that both will be away for
the coming week(s). Elissa is no longer singing with us and I wonder about
the Remage-Healey duo. Should I send an email out to the PC roster about
Nov. 21 and a need to attend and commit to singing for the coming weeks?
What if we do not achieve a doable number of singers? Or should we proceed
with the expectation we will have a good number of singers able and willing
to commit to regular rehearsals?
Thanks for your thoughts and insights to come.
