We survived Holy Week! Huge thanks to everyone who was able to sing or play for any of the four Masses!

Welcome to Holy Week! This is a bit of a long post, so please bear with me.

Thanks for all the responses thus far on availability for the Holy Week Masses! As you know, our group is covering the 2 PM Good Friday service as well as the 9 AM (Parish Hall) Easter Sunday Mass.

This Saturday is Palm Sunday.

Mass last week was once again very solid, and probably one of our strongest in a while. Nice job, all!

Thanks to those who were able to help out with music coverage for the Penance Service on Monday night! I cantored, Kristen played piano and sang alto, and Rose and Steve sang melody. We ended up making it through the printed program most of two times with some additional instrumental songs in the middle.

This Saturday is the 5th Sunday of Lent.

Despite being down a couple of folks, Mass last week went quite well. Congratulations to Lise for cantoring her first song with us (with a little help from Jaclyn :-). I also wanted to pass along the compliments of several folks who approached me during the Pancake Breakfast on Sunday. Nice job, all!

This Saturday is the 4th Sunday of Lent.

Mass last week went very well. Thanks to all who where able to be there!

Kristen joined us again on piano. The piano was still a bit overpowering, but we also discovered that all the microphones (including the troublesome choir mics) appear to be working. Let's continue tweaking the levels in the coming weeks and hopefully we'll find a balance that works.

Really the only notable issue besides the mics was the tempo on several songs felt a bit too fast to me. That was probably my fault, though, for not giving more clear direction.
