> The Theory Choir lives! Once again this year the Theory Choir will

> choir. If you can play an instrument (e.g. guitar) for us, please do so.
> If you can compose (re-compose? de-compose?) a song for us, you will have

> Non-theorists are also welcome.

That's us. Once again, one of the most popular acts is being revived for
Christmas party entertainment. We theorists are the heart of the choir.
Please consider joining the choir. We need musicians for accompaniment but
for singing we'll take anybody. If you really, really, really, can't sing
then please figure out a song for us. Contact me if you need suggestions.

We'll be practising this week during the regular theory discussion group
meeting - 2:00 Wednesday. Hopefully we'll have another practice earlier
in the week too ... and probably one later.

Please start composing and let me know if you've got anything. We have
a supply of old songs but I think it would be better to have original
material.

Nobody responded to my last message so I assumed there was no interest
in having a Theory Choir this year. Since then, some people have been
asking about it, so... one last chance. I have some songs from previous
years that we could use. Meet in the lounge at 1:30. If we don't have
enough people, kaput.

By the way, the "Theory" of Theory Choir comes from the fact that
theoretically we're making music, not from any stipulation that only
theory students are involved. All interested people are welcome.
