The group I'm in is performing Forrest's "Requiem for the Living", Rutter's "Te Deum"

and a couple of miscellaneous pieces this weekend (New Ark Chorale, Saturday 4/14, 3pm, St. Paul's Lutheran in Newark, DE). If anybody is in the area and looking for something to do on Saturday, stop by to listen. The concert is almost 90 min. long with a finger-food reception afterwards.

Here's the best recording of the Requiem that I could find on YouTube:

1. Do you mind if I tag onto your post?

The group I've been with for 30+ years (can't believe I've spend over half my life in this thing!) will be performing a FREE concert at the First United Methodist Church of Chula Vista, CA at 4pm this coming Sunday April 15th. We will be featuring 3 world premiers of pieces written for our annual composition contest.

Visit our website (https://www.hillcrestwindensemble.com) for more details and information.

Thanks woodsprite!

2. That's fine! It's great to share info.

I think I have you beat though - 36 yrs I started singing with them when I first graduated high school.

Have a great concert!!! I hope you have good attendance. I'm kind of worried we won't. Saturday looks like the first real Spring-like day around here with temps in the 70's and 80's. Our patriotic concert on Memorial Day weekend always has a larger attendance.

3. You beat me by 3 years.

Been playing since Jr. High and never stopped except for 1-year when I was without an instrument. Not sure about our attendance as well. Concert band music is not a huge draw.
