LATE DECEMBER: Midnight Mass, Christmas Day, etc.

Upcoming practices and events:
  • TUE 19 DEC 5:30pm as usual: Practice with Roxanne, mainly Midnight Mass, but also a quick look at Christmas Day. Note that I have backed down the Propers for Christmas Day to the psalm-toned versions.
  • THU 21 DEC 6:30pm (if that changes I'll let you all know): Practice with the 09:00 choir. This is the BIG Midnight Mass practice. If you are planning to sing at Midnight Mass, PLEASE be there; if you can't be there, please let me know beforehand so that I will have an answer when asked.
  • SUN 24 DEC 11:15pm: Pre-Midnight Mass caroling begins. I'm sure we will discuss what time we need to be in the choir loft on Thursday night. My guess is, no later than 11pm. [line-up below]
  • MIDNIGHT MASS. [line-up below]
