Hello students,
I tried one of the free wake-up call services and it works great! You have to set each alarm time separately on this service (no repeating times) but it did successfully call my office phone and cell phone. Those of you who aren't morning people might find this useful!
It's at www.mywebalarm.com. Try it out!

No choir or Singers performance Sat. Oct. 1
Hi Singers,
We didn't have a balanced enough group to be able to sing for Parent's Weekend, so Melanie Overton decided to have Pres. Zuker speak during that 6:30 time. Thanks to those of you who volunteered, though!

Great job singers!
Hey Lambuth Singers,
Thanks SO MUCH for great performances this weekend! The high school students really enjoyed your singing on Saturday...hopefully we'll get some prospective students from it. And what great PR for Lambuth and our music program this morning! Some of the best AM performing I've heard in my 11 years here!
See you tomorrow! - RCB

Irish Blessing tests
Hi gang,
Reminder - Irish Blessing tests are this week! I stated Sept. 15 as the beginning date, but since my class schedule is light on Tuesdays, I put up a schedule on the office door for Tuesday the 13th as well. If any of you are ready (particularly choir veterans) and want to get it out of the way on Tuesday, that would be great. You can sign up 2 people for each time slot. See you at school! - RCB

Hurricanes and communities
Hi folks,
I watched Dateline NBC this evening and the reports of how the people of New Orleans (those who end up returning there, anyway) will struggle for months, even years, to rebuild their community. But what constitutes a community? Is it a geographic area? A certain demographic of the population?
One of the things I really believe in is building "choral community". I have my thoughts on what that means, but would like to hear yours. What do you think constitutes a community? What makes an ensemble a community? What does it take to build a community?
Post comments as you feel inspired.....

Unexcused absences
Hi folks,
In the second week of classes, I've already had 2-3 students with unexcused absences in Lambuth Singers and voice lessons. I am speaking with them individually and wanted to communicate to you as a group that this is really unacceptable. Short of being unconscious or another life-threatening emergency, there is NO REASON why you cannot call me beforehand! Remember that each unexcused absence lowers your grade one letter in that class.
In the case of Lambuth Singers, remember that there are several good people who didn't get selected. Your attendance is VITAL to the success of the group! A person with continued unexcused absences will lose their spot in the ensemble.
And thank you very much to the vast majority of you who have attended consistently and have contacted me regarding illnesses or other absence-related issues!
