Looking Back on the Nov. 5, 2024 Alexandria Hybrid Chapter Meeting
The Alexandria A Capella Collective meeting on election night, Tuesday, Nov. 5, was at Heritage Presbyterian Church near Mount Vernon. Thanks to chapter general manager, Susan Fitzpatrick, for finding a meeting space was not being used as a voting place. Meetings the next two weeks will be at Beth El Synagogue.
The singers started the meeting in the sanctuary with Tony Colosimo leading the warm up session for this week, then he passed the mic to AACC artistic director, Joe Cerutti, who thanked all those who had taken a break from the news broadcasts and had come to sing for a couple hours.
Catherine LaValley made an important plea to members to sell show tickets for the two holiday performances on Sat. Dec, 14 at 6 pm or on Sunday, Dec. 15 at 3:30 pm, both at Fairlington United Methodist Church, 3900 King Street in Alexandria. Tickets are just $20. Friends, coworkers, neighbors, and family will enjoy these shows; and reminders from chorus members are likely the only way those customers will know about the shows.
Cy Shuster will collect orders for raffle tickets for the Alfred Street campaign to raise youth scholarship monies.
Mark Klostermeyer introduced guest Tanner Perdue who has moved to the area and formerly sang with the Heralds of Harmony in FL. It had been great to have Johan Westburg singing with us recently while he was in town. Terry Reynolds directed the “Welcome Song.”
For the rest of the evening, both ensembles worked on the holiday show songs.
Alan Wile reports that Walt Page is making progress in his recovery from health issues and might be back next week. Joe won the 50/50 for the second week in a row! The afterglow was at 815 Southside on Washington Street this week. Samantha Tramack directed “Keep the Whole World Singing” to end the evening.
Until next time – editorjack!
