Sassafrass holiday concert carol sing extravagannnzzzzaaa

[juldea]

Hey, everybody! I have recently joined an a cappella group, and we are doing a holiday concert type thing! It would make me really happy to see my friends there! I know this isn't everybody's thing and that many folks might be out of town (either by default or because of the date), but if possible please spare an hour of your time and a suggested donation of $10 out of your wallet and come hear (and sing?)

Important details:
Sunday, December 20, 2:00pm
Unity Church, 6 William Street, Somerville - approx. 5 minutes' walk from Davis Square T
All proceeds go to benefit the Harvest Pantry - suggested donation $10

Relevant details:
5 women, <1 hour of singing, with a sing-along section (so you can get your holiday cheer on, too!)
Medieval and modern carols - I think out of all of our pieces, there's only one that is both a modern "Christmas carol" and that we're singing "straight." There's some really gorgeous stuff in here, guys. lignota is an awesome arranger.
Out early enough for a dinner mob afterwards... *tempt tempt*

Aw, thanks!

Oof. 2pm is too early for me to reasonably get to Boston after church, otherwise I would make the attempt. Having a toddler who "likes" singing (and tries to sing along) also doesn't help.

Does anyone sing the bamboozle song anymore? Probably not.

A capella is usually good, but I am unlikely to make that, either due to work, or possibly gower inviting me somewhere. I'm not sure when he was thinking of.

Obviously both you and gower should attend and then go wherever else you're going. :)

Aw. :( The toddler would be absolutely welcome, I think, and I KNOW you would be... sad it doesn't work out. :(

Ok, adding that to my calendar of events.

It's been too long since I was in a group myself.

And in HS I was part of a victorian caroling group, plus with my collegiate time in a rennaisance ensemble, I'm definitely itching to hear this.

Sadly, it appears I might have a conflicting event.

Sad at the conflict!!

Being fairly new to the group I don't know the dynamics, but it's not by requirement female-only; when I first heard them early in the year, there was a male member providing some nice baritone action. It's not out of the question if you're interested... :)

[laurion]

Also sad at the conflict.

Also also, yes. Interested. Trying very hard not to type that in all caps.

I will very likely attend.

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Is the conflict conflicty enough that you're certain you won't make Sunday?

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[laurion]

I suspect so. There's another caroling session going on then down in CT, at the Mystic Seaport, run by my old choir conductor. And my brother is working at the seaport now, so I have the familial obligation weight coming in as well.

...whoa. One of my friends who goes to school in Providence can't attend the concert because he has a family obligation at his mom's in Mystic on Saturday and has no way to get to Boston on Sunday. *shifty eyes*

[laurion]

Ah shame. I can't help him get to MA, as I won't be in CT on Saturday, and even if I were I wouldn't then be coming up to MA.

If, on the other hand, you're implying that we're both lying and are secretly going to run off together for a naked tryst in the CT woods, all I can say is that it is too cold for that. *wink*

Scheduled!
