With the later, October start to rehearsals this year, we are finding that there isn't quite enough time at the Saturday rehearsals to spend the time teaching the orphan choir the fundamentals of music and harmony which lay the foundation for these kids to grow into amazingly talented pickpockets.
We have decided to add an additional, optional orphan choir rehearsal for the next three weeks (Nov 7, Nov 14, Nov 21). If your orphan is available to rehearse on Thursdays from 6:30 to 7:30, please bring him or her to Andrea's house (3266 S. Hunter Oak Way) each Thursday. Andrea's house is conveniently located right across the street from our Pickpocket rehearsal location, so for siblings of pickpockets, this should hopefully be relatively easy on families.
Orphans who are also pickpockets will, of course, attend the pickpocket rehearsal as originally scheduled.
If possible, we would invite the following orphans to attend these optional rehearsals:
Abby
Adam
Alex
Angella
Blake
Bryton
Charlie
Ellie
Gabriel
Hailey
Hunter
Joclynne
Juliet
Kortnee
Kyler
Lily
Soda
Trae F
Tristin
Zack
Thank you in advance for making sacrifices as a family to allow your orphans to attend this rehearsal. They will have an opportunity to gain additional skills that will benefit them in the Dickens Festival and in other musical ventures.
