Looking Back on the Nov. 18, 2025 Alexandria A Cappella Collective Chapter Meeting
AACC singers planned to walk through Old Town Alexandria this week to promote attendance at the holiday shows in December; however, leaders cancelled the meeting due to the bad rainy cold weather
The chapter’s holiday shows are scheduled for Friday December 12 at 8 pm, and December 13 at 7:30 pm, both at the Fairlington Presbyterian Church, 3846 King Street. Call time for both shows is 5:30 pm for all AACC singers. Uniform for both ensembles for the holiday show will be all black dressy with red and/or green accents. If there is a question, contact Becca Williams.
Catherine LaValley announced via Slack that there will be a shuttle service for both holiday shows from and to Episcopal High School’s parking lot starting at 5 pm. She suggests everyone alert their friends and family about this plan, since parking at the church is very limited.
Tickets for the shows, “Follow the Season,” are now available via Eventbrite.
Looking ahead: On Nov. 25 and Dec. 2 the chapter meetings will be back at AlexRenew. Sunday, Dec. 7 some members will sing holiday music for Blue Star Families in Falls Church. Then the Dec. 9 meeting will be back at Fairlington Presbyterian prior to the shows.
AACC will have their traditional holiday carol sing again in Old Town on Tues. Dec. 16. There will be no rehearsals on Dec. 23 and 30. The Jan. 6 meeting will be the traditional kickoff session for the 2026 year and also the chapter’s next Put Together Quartet Contest – as the name implies, members are encouraged to “put together” a quartet and enter the fun. Usually some BHS friends are the judges. Rules and details to come soon.
In other AACC news, Doug White sent word that he is playing Daddy Warbucks in an area production of “Annie;” and Joe reports that Jackson Byrd is playing Billy Flynn in “Chicago” at Thomas Edison High School.
Until next time – editorjack!
