I'm hoping we can still have a High Mass given our tiny schola--it's easy staying apart in the loft.<br /><br />Barb, I've heard a couple of these zoom-put togethers--it's really heroic trying to get it all to work and it's so great if you enjoy it. Zoom hasn't been a good fit for me, maybe because it's too much like a phone? Not sure. I do watch youtube practice videos and sing my part and that's about it for me for now.

About ten of them, in their individual squares, sang or played guitars to a popular song from the sixties. They did it for fun and to cheer up people during the pandemic. They were surprisingly talented and I really enjoyed the video.<br /><br />My point is, it's not the same as singing in an actual choir, but it's an acceptable substitute in the meantime. These people worked together as a group, rehearsed, and organized making the video. For a shared activity with a shared purpose, it was effective.

I have two friends who sing in choirs, and there is no substitute that is allowed right now and for the foreseeable future.Mirka Breenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653086859905415156noreply@blogger.com
