Hey Koruscate!

Spending this past weekend in Ashland was a BLAST! We will post pictures from the trip here on the blog soon... Since summer is upon us, many will be vacationing, etc. We will have two practices in July: Wednesday the 8th & 15th @ 5:30pm, then the youth band will sing @ youth on Thursday, July 16th. There will be a rehearsal for that service at 6:30pm. Mark your calendars for these practices, as we will not always be able to text you and remind you.

Let's get back on "Heart of the Artist". Since a lot of you are out of school for the summer, you may have an extra 10 minutes a day that you can spend reading this book. It's full of wisdom and application, and you will benefit from it. We will discuss chapter 2 on the 8th and chapter 3 on the 15th.

As you can see, we have posted chord charts for many new songs. Please print them and bring them to practice. (This goes for vocalists too, since you need the lyrics.) We will practice from the following list of new songs on the 8th and 15th (we won't do all, but have all printed and rehearsed):

Slow Fade

Indescribable

Ocean Floor

Whisper His Name

God, He Reigns

All Around

On our trip this weekend, we mentioned writing some new songs. Make this a goal for yourself on downtime. Bring lyrics or chords to practice, and we will definitely go over them and collaborate. Writing your own material can be challenging, but is also very rewarding!

Lastly, we also mentioned on our trip this weekend that it would be fun to purchase a few street performance instruments. Rajiv found a perfect type of bongo called a "djembe" at Cripple Creek Music Co. in Ashland. If we can all give to the koruscate fund (mark "youth band" or "koruscate" on your offering envelope), we can raise money for these types of instruments and many more in very little time. Last week, Redding started doing a market on Thursday nights at 5pm. It would be fun to do some street performances from 5-6 before we head to Thursday rehearsals for youth. Give us your input!

Hope you all have an awesome 4th-of-July weekend. Call or e-mail us if you have any questions or comments about summer band plans. Love you all!

Practice TOMORROW! Wed. 4.13.09 @ 5:30p

Practice @ 5:30 for all musicians and vocalists!

-We will finalize "Hear us From Heaven" (soloist: Katie)

*Note: This Thursday (5.14) is breakout sessions instead of service. Because of this, koruscate will not be leading worship as planned. Instead, each age group will be on their own agenda.

If you are a part of the College & Career group (18 and graduated from high school), be ready for some acapella @ our breakout session. Highschoolers will meet in the sanctuary with Bro. Hurst and Jr. High will meet in the back room with Bro. Yount.

Practice // WEDNESDAY 4.23 @ 5:30p

Can't wait to hear about all of the fun times that you had at the Youth Revival and Youth Convention! After last week's break, we are now back to the band! Hopefully you all heard some songs that you want to bring to the drawing board for the band to learn. Come with a list! =)

We had planned to have the photoshoot this Wednesday in lieu of practice. However, one of our members will not be able to come to practice, so we will postpone the photoshoot for a later date.

This Wednesday, we will review:

Freedom (Solo: Alex)

Hear us From Heaven (Solo: Katie)

Trading My Sorrows

We will learn (most of you already know):

God is Here (There is a sweet anointing...)

Take Me Into Your Presence

(P.S- Good job at the last practice and service with the younger youth! We are proud of Megan, Ashely, Alec and Spencer for joining the band for young guns. =) Pic above...)
