Rehearsal Canceled!!! January 18

Kevin Norton — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 14:08:48 +0000

Due to the impending wretched weather, rehearsal for both choirs is canceled today. We would prefer NOT to have anyone slipping and sliding on (or off) the roads this evening!

Please come prepared for work next week as our concert is less than 2 weeks away!!

Nutcracker weekend is upon us!

Liz — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 14:37:55 +0000

Our Youth Chorale singers have spent the last two evenings rehearsing with the Bangor Symphony Orchestra and the Robinson Ballet for this weekend’s performances of The Nutcracker. Continuing a long-standing holiday tradition, our treble-voiced singers perform the Snowflake Chorus as Clara, the Prince and Snowflakes dance on stage. Here’s a short clip from last night’s rehearsal.

Tickets for all performances are still available, although the Saturday afternoon show may be close to sold-out. For more information on ticket availability, visit the Collins Center for the Arts website.

Cookie Dough Day: Tuesday, November 23 – UPDATED

Kevin Norton — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 18:11:01 +0000

BACC families, mark your calendars! Cookie dough will be distributed next Tuesday, November 16 23 at Choir and Chorale rehearsals.

If, for some reason, your singer will not be at rehearsal that day, PLEASE make arrangements to have someone pick up your cookie dough order. Remember, the dough arrives frozen and needs to be kept cold. We have no cold storage facilities, so your dough must go home Tuesday.

Calls to coordinate volunteers to help with the cookie dough distribution will be made this week. If you have any questions, please contact Holly Hatch.

November 16 – We apologize for this disruption. The cookie dough has not yet been delivered. We are planning on distributing it next week just in time for Thanksgiving (as if we won’t have enough desserts anyway)!
