Term 1 ARCappella: Wednesday 9th February, 7:30pm
Welcome back to ARCappella 2022! Even though COVID continues to affect life (it does feel somewhat like 2020 too 😛 ), we are planning to resume singing in-person and online from Wednesday 9th February, 7:30pm. As per last year, we are closely following the Victorian Government’s health directives and will make in-person rehearsals as safe and as fun as possible, while having Zoom rehearsals available for those who are not ready for group singing. We are still in the process of confirming venue availability (it’s still looking good for Sacred Heart Primary School, Preston) and working through our COVID-safe plan, so stay tuned for details that will be sent around as soon as more information becomes available. Looking forward to resuming with all our current, previous and new members, and after a really great Christmas term, we welcome back Marina Thacker as our wonderful ongoing choral director!
