Next Rehearsal - 03/12/24

Our next meeting is next Tuesday!

March 12, 2024 7pm-9pm
Raleigh UU, Peace Hall, Rm. 101
3313 Wade Avenue
Raleigh, NC 27607

As you have probably heard, our Musical Director, Bizzy, had to resign due to an upcoming move out of area. In our last meeting, we unanimously elected one of our core members, Emori Kaydus, Interim Musical Director while we cast a net for someone with vocal expertise. (For more on that, see our previous blog post.) Our next meeting will be Emori's first full rehearsal in their new role! Our thanks, congratulations, and well wishes to Emori! And our thanks, regrets (to be losing her), and well wishes to Bizzy in her new adventure!

I've had some new requests to join our Facebook group, so I suspect we may be seeing some new faces soon! I think our inquiries to find a new musical director have brought us to the attention of a broader sphere of folks who were previously unaware of us. Silver linings!

We welcome all safe and respectful Pagan and Pagan-adjacent adults of any skill and experience level! We're community-focused rather than performance-focused, so we don't hold auditions and we welcome drop-ins. Because of the music that is best-known and most-available, our starter songs trend a little Wiccan, but we will be seeking to incorporate all kinds of Pagan and Pagan-friendly music. You can help! We welcome recommendations and leads on pertinent music that is in the public domain or is low-royalty. 

There are no fees or dues for participating, but we do gratefully welcome any cash donations* to cover the cost of renting our rehearsal space. We will have a receipt book on hand to log all donations and post aggregate info (without personally identifying information) to the blog so everyone can see where their donations are going. *We are not currently a registered 501c, so we don't have financial accounts and I can't speak to whether or not your donation is tax-deductible.

If you are experiencing any symptoms of a contagious illness, especially Covid-19, please defer your attendance until you're feeling well. We'll all be breathing the same air in that meeting room and, while you are absolutely welcome to wear a mask, it isn't exactly conducive to singing.

We will have name/pronoun stickers available at our meetings. Whenever possible, we will have sheet music printed. The sheet music is also available on our Drive. The only things you need to bring are your voice and the vocal-chord-friendly drink of your choice!

We can't wait to sing with y'all on Tuesday!
