AN UNFORGETTABLE CEREMONY OF CAROLS

Ladies and Gentlmen of the Excelsis and Archangel Choirs,

Wow. Here are some of the things people have said about your singing last Sunday:

"I started crying during the Recessional--the beauty of your voices swirling all around up in the rafters as you walked by was overwhelming."

"What a wonderful way to usher in the Advent season. It feels like Christmas is already here!"

"There wasn't a dry eye in the sanctuary as the choir recessed."

"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to ALL of you!"

I will NEVER forget the beautiful music you made Sunday morning, and throughout the rehearsal process. You truly SHARED your gift of singing with people Sunday morning. I hope you realize how special that gift is, and how uplifting it is for everyone who hears it.

Sincerely,

Will

A CEREMONY OF CAROLS POSTERS!

FAURE MESSE BASSE and HANDBELLS

Great job in Church today! So many people came up to me and wanted you all to know how moved they were by your singing and playing. CONGRATS!

A CEREMONY OF CAROLS ON DEC. 3RD

BREAKING NEWS---We will sing the entire CEREMONY OF CAROLS in BOTH services on December 3rd! This will be even better than our previously scheduled afternoon performance for so many reasons. More people will get to hear your beautiful artistry (in the services and on the television broadcast), it will work logistically with your busy schedules, and it will surely lead to many more opportunities for this choir down the road as your exceptional talent and hard work are recognized!

Congratulations, Ladies!

Will
