Thank You!

Thank you to all of you who attended the Open Invitation.  We have so many talented members of our stake and are excited to get to know each of you.

We have selected all the music for the July 9th performance and will still need both vocalists and instrumentalists to make the music all it can be.  If you attended the Open Invitation, you will be contacted soon to let you know which song(s) we'd like you to participate in.  For those who were unable to make it, here is a list of the music and what types of musicians we still need: (*This is in addition to the adult choir, youth choir, and children's choir music.  Click the links to find out what music each choir will provide.)
