Hello!!
I am still smiling from last night. The energy and the happiness I felt all around was uplifting and energizing!
We have had 9 visitors so far. And they've been added to our mailing list! We welcome Sandra, Michelle, Jaimee, Jennie, Bob and Sara! And Angeli, Jessie, and Kat!
If you have decided that Vocal Point is not your jam, please let me know and I can remove you from the mailing list, otherwise we all look forward to getting to know you and welcome you into our community of singers!
I also feel it's important to welcome back Derek and Barb, who were both with us in the past, but took a little sabbatical! It's great to have you both back!
NEXT WEEK
- 12 Days of Christmas
- Muppet Medley
- You Make it Feel Like Christmas
- Sleigh Ride
SOLOS
As stated at the rehearsal there are a few solos this year. As always, these solos will be auditioned and I will select the voice that I feel fits the sound we are going for. If you'd like to audition, please sign your name to the sign up list and start practicing. I would like you to be able to sing the solo with the "Piano only" or "All parts Equal" track for the audition. Record and submit to this email address by October 7th. I will review all the auditions and make my decisions by October 14th.
FEES
We have decided to keep the fees at the same rate as last year, so
if you are with us for the whole year (September - May) it will be $200. If you
join for only the Fall (September-December) or only the Spring (January-May) it
will be $125.
We don't ever want money to be a reason to not join, so if this is
not feasible, please talk to Lisa V or one of the leadership team to discuss
some payment options.
We have also had some members in the past offer to donate an
additional $25 to the choir to help out another member. If you would like to do
this, please just make a note of it when you pay.
If you would like to work out a monthly payment plan, please talk
to Lisa V.
We accept Etransfer to this email address (vocalpointartistic@gmail.com),
cheques (payable to "Lisa Vooys") or cash at rehearsals.

******Notes about Retirement Homes****
As the choir continues to grow we are aware that we are
"bursting at the seams" when we do a retirement home show. This
season we have booked 4 homes and hope that each member will commit to doing 2
or 3 shows. I will have a sign up sheet later in the season so we can make sure
the choir is balanced. I think the goal is to have about 30-35 members per
show.
