There's nothing like the sound
of a male chorus….
We have made this easy, gentlemen: One rehearsal on Wednesday,
August 13 at 7:00 p.m. in the choir room for an hour and a half to
two hours. Then, sing at all three services August 17. You need not
be a world-class singer to do this…a number of our Chancel Choir
members will be there to “hold things together,” and the music is
chosen to enable us to be ready in just one rehearsal. If you are in
high school or older and enjoy singing, come join us! Bring your
Dad, bring your friends — it’s fun and you will serve our church in
a unique and much appreciated way. Contact me at the church if you
have additional questions.
We Begin Anew
Just as Spring is associated with the return of life in the natural
world, Fall is the time the music ministry of the church springs
back to life. Most of our music groups stop during all or part of
the summer. They then make a clean start again each August or
September. This is a great time to consider joining one of our
wonderful music organizations! We have many to choose from.
Chancel Choir
Our Chancel Choir is the flagship choir of the church, singing about
45 Sundays each year. We sing at numerous special services each year
such as Ash Wednesday and Christmas Eve. We plan to present
“Ceremony of Carols” by Benjamin Britten on Sunday morning, December
14, and present a major choral work with one or two other
Tallahassee church choirs in the Spring. The group enjoys occasional
social activities as well; a small family within the large “family”
of the church. We resume rehearsals on Wednesday August 20,
7:30-9:00 p.m.
Circle of Friends
This is the 9:45 a.m. SUN Service praise band, led by Lisa Prasse.
They do not take a summer break, so their rehearsals are ongoing.
Meet them on Wednesdays, 7:00 p.m. in Moor Hall. You can contact
Lisa for additional information at the church.
Youth Choir
We resume rehearsals on Sunday August 24, 5:00-6:00 p.m. in the
choir room, starting with a lot of new music! Previous singing
experience is not required. This is for all middle school and high
school students……Bring a friend!
Youth Praise Band
Jim McKinnell leads this group. They practice year round on Sunday
afternoons shortly before UMYF. Contact Jim for additional
information.
NETkids
This wonderful afternoon of exciting and fun activities for children
in grades K-5 begins Wednesday, September 10. Children arrive
between 3:00 pm and 3:45 p.m. and finish at 5:30 p.m. Planned music
activities for the fall include two vocal choirs and a handbell
group.
Trinity Ringers
This advanced handbell choir practices on Wednesdays, 6:15-7:15 p.m.
starting September 10. Ability to read music is required. Contact me
at the church for additional information.
College/Career Handbells
We resume rehearsals on Sunday September 7, 6:15-7:15 p.m. This
group includes college students and young adults (20's, 30's).
Ability to read music is the only requirement. Ringing bells is fun
and an important part of the music ministry at Trinity — Come join
us!
Seniors Handchimes
We begin our second year on Thursday September 11 at 1:30 p.m. and
are looking for one or two additional ringers. Ability to read music
is required.
Trinity Flutes
Flute teacher and performer Sue Parsons started this group last
Fall, and they are already reaching out into the community with
their performances. The group includes players with different skill
levels. Contact Sue at 224-7720 for additional information, or meet
the group in the choir room at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday evenings.
Cherub Choir and Sunday School Music
Mary Alice Mills leads the Cherub Choir. She will meet the young
children attending Sunday school for about 15 minutes starting
August 31. First through fifth grade Sunday school children meet
with me for 15 minutes of praise and fun starting August 31. None of
the music groups mentioned above require an audition. Joining is
pretty simple; just come to one of our rehearsals. Additional
information about the music groups at the church is available by
contacting me at the church. Check out additional information on
visiting the music link. When new
members are received into our church, the minister asks: "As members
of this congregation, will you faithfully participate in its
ministries by your prayers, your presence, your gifts and your
service?" Since most of our music groups participate in Sunday
worship services, this is an excellent way to provide our
"presence" and "service" to the church.
