• Oak City Sound Holiday Chorus: Please start talking this up with your singing friends (men and women) who would like to join us, temporarily, without cost or obligation, in performing on any or all of our five Christmas season concerts. All we ask is that they attend four out of five practices, starting October 16, from 7pm to 7:45pm, to learn the small subset of the music. Music memorization will not be required. 

2. Carol's Korner

• Congratulations on another successful performance!
• Be sure to review the words for Too Less Lonely People - that was a little scary…
• I was most pleased with how we all told a story as a unit in Ova the Rainbow. That song is really growing on us!
