Music Notes&

SALARIED POSITION  We are still seeking an accompanist for our adult choir.

CONGRATULATORY NOTES!!
The following St. John's students auditioned for and were chosen to be members of the 2002-2003 7th & 8th Grade Schola:
     7th Grade                          8th Grade
Bridget Anderson           Michelle Horn
Alex Bilski                       Colleen Stampfle
Katie Blegen                    Jenny Wind
Haley Caswell
Elise Cleereman
Anne Evertz
Annaliese Howard
Abbi Hoye
Liem Nguyen
Vanesa Tomani
These students rehearse weekly and will serve as song-leaders in many of the Wednesday School Masses during the year.  Their 1st liturgy will be on Wednesday, Nov. 1.  Please let them know that they are appreciated!


ATTENTION 3-6TH GRADERS!
By the time you receive this note, the Hallelujah Chorus will already have had two rehearsals!!
Rehearsals are Wednesdays from 4:15 - 5:00 and again from 5:15--6:00.  You can come to either rehearsal-both are the same!  We sing approximately one Mass per month.
If you'd like to see what the choir is all about, try out a     rehearsal, pick up a schedule and give it a try! There is NO cost for being in the Hallelujah Chorus, and if you decide it's just not for you, that's OK.  I'd just hate to see ANYONE not even try it if they're the least bit interested!  Students don't need to sign up ahead of time--just show up!
Hope to see more of you come on board--especially with the Holidays coming, there are some REALLY special things being planned!
