Looking Back on Oct 23 Chapter Meeting and Recording

Location: First Baptist Church of Alexandria, on King Street


- Initially brought risers off the truck to set up in the fellowship
hall. However, leadership determined that the choir room on the second
floor would be a better location for recording. A team of guys helped
load the risers back on the truck.
- Will Cox directed our warm up in the fellowship hall.
- Upstairs to sing and record “Music Man,” “Summertime,” and “No More
Sorrow.”
- Mike Kelly and Cameron Weifenbach volunteerd their time and expertise
to set-up and operate the sound recording equipment.
- Joe said we sounded great; hopefully, we got some good recordings.

Announcements:

Saturday at 10:00 am at the Lee Center. Someone did volunteer.
