If you have not yet signed up for a vocal assessment time and you are planning on returning in the fall, contact Judy Prawitt as soon as possible to schedule a time before the season starts. This is something every choir member must participate in, so make sure you get signed up.
Also, if you are not planning on returning, contact Judy to let her know. If you know someone who is not returning, let them know they need to contact Judy as well.
Thank you for helping us keep our rosters current and our choir running smoothly!

SCI Final Sessions
It's hard to believe another summer has almost gone by, and with it, the second annual Summer Choral Institute is coming to a close. If you haven't attended a session yet, you have two more chances, so sign up and go!
Session 3, Peace and Paradise: Requiems by Faure and Rutter, runs August 7-9. This is the last full length session that ends in a concert, so if you want to perform in Libby this summer, make sure to sign up for this session.
The last part of Session 4, the Choral Masterworks session that has been running all summer, is on August 5 and will focus on several different opera choruses. I've seen the music for this session, and it looks like it will be tons of fun!
Don't let the summer pass you by without participating in at least one session of SCI. It's well worth the time and money. You won't be sorry if you go!

SLCA fan page
In addition to our group on Facebook, introduced in this post, SLCA now has an official fan page. View it here.
You don't have to be a Facebook member to view the page, but you do to post items or become a fan. It's easy and free!
On the page, you'll find a short bio of the choir, a link to our homepage, and a few sound clips from our concerts. It's a great way to expand our community outreach and reach potential patrons. Check it out!

What to do with your holiday weekend
Planning ahead for the 24th of July? Maybe looking to get out of town? Also wanting to get a jump start on next season? Of course!
The Phoenix Symphony is performing Enemy Slayer: A Navajo Oratorio at the Colorado Music Festival in Boulder, Colorado on July 24 and 25. You might recall that we are slated to perform this work in May to close out our 2008-2009 season. If you have the time and the means, it might be worth making the trip to Boulder to begin getting a feeling for this brand new piece.
Details about the festival can be found on the Colorado Music Festival homepage. Believe it or not, their performance is only two weeks away, so start planning now if this is something you want to do. In any case, have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

SCI Session 2 and more!
SESSION 2
Don't forget to sign up for Session 2 of this year's Summer Choral Institute! The session, Folk Music from Around the World, runs July 10-13. This is a session particularly recommended for families, and those interested can also have their children (grades 3-8) participate in a day camp run by the Madeleine Choir School throughout the entire week.
Participants in this session will also have the opportunity to sing at Spanish Mass at the Cathedral of the Madeleine on Sunday, July 13. Just a personal note: I've had the opportunity to sing at Mass a couple of times, and it is a really neat experience. You should take advantage of this opportunity!
CONDUCTING WORKSHOP
The same week as this session, July 7-12, Dr. Allred is running a Choral Conducting Workshop. Registration for this workshop includes a registration for Session 2, so if you've always wanted to learn to conduct better, sign up for a great experience. This is a workshop for conductors at all levels, so whether you're a professional choir director, a ward choir director, or just someone interested in choral directing, this session is for you.
SESSION 4
Finally, the next two chunks of Session 4 are closing in. On July 8, the sing-through will focus on Haydn's "Lord Nelson Mass," and on July 15, Poulenc's "Gloria" and Durufle's "Requiem." All of these pieces are well worth your time, so if you can fit any of this in your schedule, you absolutely should.
And tell your friends!

SCI beginning soon
The beginning of the Summer Choral Institute is just days away!
Don't forget that this Thursday, June 5, is the deadline to register for Session 1 (Lullaby of Broadway) and Session 4 (Choral Masterworks). You can still register at the door, but be prepared to pay an extra fee.
Session 4 begins on Tuesday, June 10. The first meeting of the Choral Masterworks session will focus on Orff's Carmina Burana, so if you were a member of SLCA last fall, grab your score and sign up! If you weren't a member, never fear--you can buy a score when you register.
And just a heads up: early registration for Session 2 (Folk Music from Around the World) also ends on June 10, so make sure to register for that while you're attending Session 4!
Session 1 also begins next week, on Thursday, June 12. This session, focusing on showtunes, promises to be tons of fun, so make sure you get your registration in! You won't want to miss it.
