Semi-reclining Band is tuning up for the annual Fourth of July Parade this year on Sundays in June. This year we are playing some new arrangements as well as the old chestnuts. We ask that any interested musicians sign up and pick up their music folders after June 10. We will also play at the All-Church Picnic on July 1. Matt Hawley earns ribbon Matt Hawley, member of the Canterbury choir, has become the first chorister to earn the light blue ribbon with his choir vestments, indicating that he has met all the requirements of Level One of the Chorister Training Program.
Members have two goals to meet.
First, they must accumulate a minimum of 450 points since entering the Canterbury Choir. They also have to learn musical skills, vocal skills, repertoire, and demonstrate a basic knowledge of Christian Education and worship. Those who know the Hawley family will not be surprised to learn of Matt s accomplishment. His father, Kent, is active in Good Shepherd by singing in the choir, acting as a Senior High Youth Advisor, and the Building Committee. Laura, his mother, is a dedicated member of both the Good Shepherd Choir and Handbell Guild.
