Welcome back, everyone!! The last time Florida gathered for a mass choir was at the 2007 Tampa UPCI General Conference 15 years ago. Over 350 voices joined onstage and sang their hearts out for the Lord that year and we plan to do the same this time around. This stage holds less than that but we aim to pack it out nonetheless. This is a big undertaking, but Florida is certainly up for it! Thank you for your interest and willingness to participate.
GENERAL INFO:
WHEN: October 6th, Thursday evening service UPCI General Conference in Orlando
“WAY BACK MEDLEY”- (FRED HAMMOND) (singing starts at 1:57)
*We will not be doing the entire medley. We will exclude the last 2 songs, “Oh Happy Day” and “Thank You”. We also will sing “Can’t Stop Praising His Name” a few more times than is done on the medley.
VOCAL PARTS:
ZOOM “REHEARSAL”- We will not be having the zoom rehearsal Monday night, October 3rd due to several things, one being the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.
