The Marshes of Glynn:
9.7 Rehearsal Location Reminder, Standing and Sitting Cues
Dear Chorale members,
We look forward to our rehearsal on Wednesday from 7-9 p.m. We are very grateful you have joined our singing journey through the “Song of the Chattahoochee, in our “Life and Song” to “The Marshes of Glynn.” We have addressed each of our four works in previous rehearsals, and now, in the final week, as in the mastery and strength that Kate and I hear growing in you, we will surely sing with “eyes of faith” on “wings of Love.”
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS REHEARSAL IS IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION. We will be rehearsing in the building known as The Commons of First Congregational Church:
125 Ellis St NE, Atlanta, GA 30303

PARKING: There is free parking. There are twenty parking places including two handicapped spaces directly in front of The Commons. The entire First Congregational Church parking lot (behind the church) will be available only to us, closed to the general public, so we will have plenty of room. The First Congregational Church address is:
105 Courtland St NE, Atlanta, GA 30303

at the corner of Courtland and John Wesley Dobbs. The parking lot is off John Wesley Dobbs. There will be a person (Jane Thorpe) waving you toward the Commons! Please come early because we have a lot to do.
COVID: Masking according to your personal preference at this facility. We continue to wait for the final word from the ASO about policy there.
