• Jan 22: Good rehearsal! The "risers" were fuller than they've been in a long time, for both the Mixed Chorus and the Men's.
  • The following people from the Holiday Chorus were in attendance of the inaugural Mixed Chorus practice: Eva Snapp, Shirley Colson, Liz Kasberg, Andy Fuson, and Sharon Muha.  
  • In addition to the new members for the mixed chorus (Welcome Back!), we enjoyed the first visit from Eric Harper, who heard about OCS on Meetup.com. 
  • Great afterglow at Parkway Tavern, including new singers Eric Parker and Andy Fuson. A good time was had by all. 
• Jan 29: Our last rehearsal at dear ole Searstone.

    • "I've Got the World on a String". Tracks and score were already available on the web site.
