CPB Weekly Update
Dear CPB!
It was great to see you on Thursday and I am glad you all had a good break. Our performance is a week from tomorrow and it promises to be EXTRAORDINARY. We again welcome MAHARI FREEMAN to our rehearsal to sing O Holy Night under the direction of O'Shae! Big THANKS to RUSS DEAN for allowing us to use the microphone and stand for Mahari! For our final two rehearsals, we will perform through each work and rehearse any last details. Please take the time to address any details you still have prior to Thursday's rehearsal. Thank you so much! Our "dress" rehearsal on Friday will be in performance order.
