A Ballard Artwalk Event

Saturday, September 8, 7:30pm

First Lutheran Church Ballard

(NW 65th & 20th NW, across from Smokin’ Pete’s BBQ).

Join us for a light, end-of-summer concert featuring music by two of the most popular songwriting teams in the history of music theater. Whether you’re a fan of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “topsy-turvy” light operas of the 18th century London stage, or the more contemporary Broadway and movie productions of Lerner and Lowe, you’ll enjoy many favorites and perhaps hear a new song or two. We’ll mix it up with selections from Camelot, Patience, Gigi, Iolanthe, Paint Your Wagon, The Mikado, My Fair Lady, and a slightly reinterpreted H.M.S. Pinafore.

Plenty of good humor and romance are winning combinations for a musical September evening in Ballard. Check out the Artwalk before and after the show.

This is a free event, but contributions gratefully accepted.

Summer fun

We took a break from rehearsing for our September 8th concert last week and held our annual choir picnic at Golden Gardens. We had a little more sun than last year and the temperature was a bit warmer but it was still brisk at the beach. Chris B. served as grillmaster providing hot dogs for all and members brought salads, fruit and yummy desserts. Gordon brought his ukelele and strummed out a few tunes for us. Chris V. and Brandon sang in Italian. Penelope, Rosalyn and Mariah got some rounds going. Meghan brought her darling kids. It was a lovely time. And now back to rehearsals!

A Little Choral Humor :)

One-Liners

Q: What's the dictionary definition of "tenor"?
A: Any baritone who joins a choir that doesn't already have enough tenors.

Q: How many altos does it take to change a light bulb?
A: All of them. One to change the bulb, and the rest to complain about how high it is.

Q: How many sopranos does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Only one. She holds it up, and the world revolves around her.

Q: How many tenors does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: They can't, because "It's too high!"

Q: How many basses does it take to change a light bulb?

A: None. They think it's more macho to walk in the dark and bang their shins.

Q: How many choral conductors does it take to change a light bulb?

A: No one knows....no one's looking!
