Party Pics!

The Year-End Party was fun with a lot of great food and our first annual "Markee Awards!" 

Here is a picture slideshow of the event.  There are supposed to be about 50ish pictures in the slideshow, but we've been experiencing some technical difficulties. (I believe it is due to the photo site) Please check back later if you are unable to see all of the pictures.  Another suggestion is to just open the blog page and walk away for a while in order to give it time to load all the pictures.

(If you do not see the slideshow in the space below, please click the "refresh" button on your screen to re-load the page. (my "refresh" looks like 2 green arrows - one points down and the other points up) You may also click on the "view all images" tab under where the slideshow is supposed to appear.)  If there are any photos you would like, you can click on the slideshow. (this will take you to the photobucket site) Then click above the picture where it says "2010-11 Year End Party." You may then look through the photos to find the one(s) you'd like. (there are 4 pages you can look through) Then, right click on the picture, choose "save as" and then continue to save it to your computer. :)

Snowman Contest Winners!

Elaine Dunay from the ECSO office graciously agreed to judge the snowman contest. She was given the winning categories and the photos of the snowmen with a heart over the chorus member's face in an effort to be as unbiased as possible. The only thing she was told was the voice part so she could select those winners.

Snowman Winners:
1. Best Soprano Snowman – Dianne Potochniak
2. Best Alto Snowman – Joyce Daubar
3. Best Tenor Snowman – David Tingley
4. Best Bass Snowman – NO WINNER :(
5. Best Overall Snowman – Judy Spitz

Picture from the Past

Dianne (soprano) had a newspaper clipping from the past with a picture of ECSC, and there are a few faces we'll recognize.  I scanned the picture for your viewing pleasure!

Photos from "Elijah" performance in Middletown

"Elijah" in Middletown

The Greater Middletown Chorale invited ECSC, First Congregational Church of Cheshire Senior Choir, and United Girls' Choir to collaborate with them in performing Felix Mendelssohn's "Elijah" on May 2nd.  Congratulations to the 27 chorus members who were able to participate in the performance!  The entire work was performed, and that meant they had to perfect 10 new movements (in addition to the ones we'd learned for the winter concert) between the end of our regular season and the concert on May 2nd.  (that was only 3 weeks!)  The concert in the performing arts center of Middletown High School was sold out, and they even added chairs in the orchestra pit for people to sit in.  (The orchestra and choir were on the stage together.)  It was an exhausting rehearsal week with trips to Middletown for the rehearsals, and I think we all found special meaning in the song, "He That Shall Endure to the End" by the time we were through!  ;)  We were all uplifted and thrilled when we saw Mark join us at the last rehearsal, and he sang bass for the concert - YES - BASS!!  (gasp!)  Again, a job well done to our chorus members!  Now we're all ready for our summer break - see you in the fall!
