How are we improving?

Quote of the morning: "Every note is just like a child of God - they're ALL worthy." -Andi Jaber

No rehearsal last Wednesday, but we did have a section leader meeting. Thanks to Pam for coordinating and leading, and arranging for food. I'll spare you all the details, but will pass along three requests that will make life much easier for the section leaders.

• If you're going to be absent, PLEASE call, voicemail, email, IM, twitter, or some way let your section leader know ahead of time. If you're doing something fun, feel free to gloat. Your section leader promises to be sufficiently envious and/or impressed. If you're sick, s/he promises to be sympathetic. If you're just lazy on Sunday morning, at least watch on the internet and report back how we look and sound.
  
• About the yellow sheets: if you're there, or plan to be there, mark a check. If you don't know, put a question mark. Otherwise, leave it blank. Explanatory comments are ok on the far side. Note that you don't ever put an "n" anywhere.
  
• While there are some things we used to do that we don't do now, and there are some things we do now that we used not to do, the earring thing remains unchanged. Your section leader really doesn't like to have to tell you to remove your earrings, so if you can, please do so before she starts to squirm uncomfortably.

How are we improving? We're starting with the low hanging (easy) fruit here. Look up, and hold your music so your folder is nearly parallel with the floor. It's a fast, simple, and painless way to improve. You look more intelligent and attractive that way, too. Advanced students, you might want to consider watching the director, as long as your head is up. It's a radical concept, but it reduces your need to remember or guess at a lot of things, like exactly when to cut off.

The sermon was spot on this morning. If you missed it, I suggest checking Chapelwood's website, or Soul Food. See everyone Wednesday! Hug a new person!
