John 376 Help me to Sing. Hmmmm....

Sam 81b Cookham (Hark the Herald...) -- :-)

Sara 282 I'm Going Home -- a favorite for everyone

Suzanne 186 Sherburn-- we have sung before, but do not know it well.

Darlene 38 Winter -- Generally successful. Hoary frost and fleecy snow--what a concept.

Delynne S245 Boston -- Respectable

Stephen S332 Bonnie Doone -- Swell. The sound technician failed to capture a recording, however.

John 112 The Last Words of Copernicus -- We've got it now that we have measure 2? That's a little cryptic.

Sam 225b Christmas Anthem -- Great but for the 6/8 section.

Sara 461 Shining Star (While Shepherds...) -- This one gets a “star.”

RECESS – Thank you John (and John's wife)! Homemake cookies (yum!), homemade brownies (wow!), and Christmas tree cookies

Suzanne S387 Judah -- Nice if we keep the 6/8 section same tempo as the 3/4 section. Billings.

Darlene S103 Babe of Bethlehem -- Nice.

Delynne S132 Star in the East -- We like this--lots of us.

Stephen S438b Shiloh -- Another “Methinks.” Nothing bad can start with “methinks”. And it was pretty cool.

John S229 The Beggar ... or was is 229 Irwinton?

Sam G36 Joys Seven

Suzanne G88 French Broad River -- Pretty good.

Darlene G90 The Stork Carol -- Beautiful tune. Really cool.

Delynne S5t Angel's Hymn -- Very nice.
