Dear SNOW DAYS Singers and Families,
What a creative, lively, soulful, productive, inspiring, and beautiful time together this weekend at SNOW DAYS! And to think that we packed all of this into just 30 hours! What we as directors love most about this annual gathering is the way in which each of our singers commits to the music and to each other. Our fabulous Cantanti and Concert Choir members demonstrate the epitome of "coolness" by helping our newest singers to feel welcome. And our wide-eyed and eager Cantabiles join right in and try everything! This amazing interaction - both musical and social - among singers from such a wide age range is what we think sets Angelica apart from most youth-oriented organizations. It is this which is at the heart of the SNOW DAYS experience and we have YOU to thank for it!
We were so pleased to have had special guest composer Jay Broeker with us to introduce the piece he has written for "Grandma Rita," as he thinks of her. He was quite impressed your progress on "How Can I Keep From Singing" after only seeing it for the first time the day before. Won't it be exciting to see his face, and Rita's, when we present this to her on February 26?! You will all be involved in giving a most amazing gift to someone we all love very much.
Finally, we would like to thank our parent "Angels" who watched over all our singers with such love, grace, and humor this weekend. Without your presence, SNOW DAYS could not happen (nor would it be so much fun!). Many, many thanks for setting aside this time to be with us.
We are so honored to be your Directors,
Philip, Nancy, and Ann
As we were passing by, the singers called to us, and they said to us you've got to take time in life!
You've got to take time in life, take time in life, take time in life cuz you've got far way to go.
