MUSIC FOR SINGING, RINGING, PLAYING OR LISTENING

Crusader Choir:  For the younger members of the Parish, we have the Crusader Choir.  The choir includes any children in the elementary grades and older.  The only requirement is that the child be able to read (we have included children as young as first grade) and that they enjoy singing (but what child doesn’t?). The Crusader Choir presents one anthem each month, and rehearsals are on Wednesdays from 4:00 to 5:00 in the choir room.  Just ask any of the children who have participated in the choir and you’ll know that we learn a lot of music but have a good time, too.   

 Parish Choir:  For those past Crusader Choir age, the Parish Choir provides an anthem for each 11:15 service from September through May, as well as special services throughout the year, and a group of anthems for a Service of Lessons and Carols during Advent.  The choir meets on Wednesdays from 7:15 to 8:30.  Singers in any part are welcome, but we are particularly in need of tenors as two of our tenors graduated and now will be contributing their wonderful voices to other choirs elsewhere.             

Bell Choir:  The Bell Choir provides a way to make music by ringing rather than singing.  The Bell Choir rehearses on Wednesdays from 6:00 to 7:15 – you’re welcome to come to pick up a pair of bells and play, or just to observe a rehearsal.  You’ll see how much fun we have, and how the pieces develop from the first reading to presentation level.
