Looking Back on the Aug. 19, 2025 Alexandria A Cappella Collective Chapter

 Looking Back on the Aug. 19, 2025 Alexandria A Cappella Collective Chapter

This was the first Tuesday night meetings after Ireland, so attendance was a little small.  There were several reports of illness among the ranks. Plus some confessions that the member just needed another couple days to rest and recover.


The Metro Voices ensemble of AACC met via Zoom after an invite from Tessa Walker.


 About 20 from the Harmonizer ensemble met at Market Square at 7 pm before walking thru Old Town and singing a couple songs at stops along the way.  They sang “Africa” and “Come Follow the Band.”  Associate director, Tony Colosimo, was director for the sing out.


Catherine LaValley stopped by to bring fall show flyers for the Harmonizers to post and distribute.  Tony brought a box of CDs from the chapter storage for members to take and give away.


There will be regular chapter meetings on Tues. Aug. 26. Sept. 2 and Sept. 9 at AlexRenew.  No doubt there will be a wrap up of the Ireland trip and stories to share. Clearly there will also be musical work in preparation for the chapter’s fall show scheduled for Sat. Sept. 20, at Bishop Ireton in Alexandria.  

           

Until next time – editorjack!
