Be sure to download your new chord charts. We had a fairly productive practice tonight, and we look forward to seeing you all at practice tomorrow, 7/9/09 @ 6:30p.
New Updates, New Schedules... MOVING FORWARD!
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.

Finally! Koruscate- the band- has had its official kickoff (pics in the slideshow at the top).We had a blast as we discussed expectations, vision, goals and plans for the next few months. If you haven't submitted your song list (5-7 songs), remember to do so by Wednesday night's practice.
Also on Wednesday, Adam will discuss what we're reading this week in "Heart of the Artist". If you haven't received your book yet, let us know; however, you should attempt to borrow someone else's book until your book comes in. Remember to check the blog for reading updates as well as new song material (juke box at the bottom). Chord charts will be posted here as well.
Keep up the good work; God has many exciting things in store for us this year. In Brittany's words, "Let's ROCK- YEAH!"
