~~~~~~~~~~MARCH 21~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The attached flier is an invitation to attend our exciting Children's
Choir Festival on March 21. This year, several first-ever features
have been added which make this annual event truly unique and
unprecedented. The @140 singers will be conducted by Allen Pote. Come
to the rehearsal at 1:30 and see him in action! The choirs have
learned his five-part Children's Mass, an unpublished work written and
performed once before in 1997 for a NACM convention. Our singers will
be accompanied by The Prelude Chamber Strings and Kevin Weed, piano.
After the 4:00 festival, our Director's Reception will provide the
opportunity to meet and greet Allen Pote. Share this news with
other church musicians.

Warmest regards, Judy
