Good morning, Singers! What a wonderful rehearsal of great new music and amazing sharing from our singers. We began learning the song "Sweeping Through the City' by Shirley Caesar.  You can hear her sing it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wgHUc6KZ1k

Rehearsal on Saturday, March 1st will be 2:00-3:30 on the 8th floor of the Guthrie.  Come!  Sing!  Laugh! Make a new friend!!

I have included a poem created by 'our' singer, Mary Morris and Chat GPT. Enjoy!!!!

The Mill City Anthem

In the heart of the city, where the lights shine bright,
The Mill City Singers fill the air with delight
With JD Steele, we rise up strong,
Call and response—yeah, we sing the song!

He’s got the wisdom, he’s got the groove,
Liftin’ us up, makin’ us move.
Clap your hands, stomp your feet,
Feel that rhythm, feel that beat

And Fred on the keys, yeah, he holds it tight,
Playin’ that piano, keepin’ us right.
Chord by chord, like a rolling wave,
He sets the tone, yeah, he paves the way.

And Claudia—she’s runnin’ the show,
Keepin’ it smooth, makin’ it flow.
Schedules tight, she’s got that drive,
Makin’ sure we all arrive!

At the Capri, the crowd goes wild,
Singin’ hymns with that rockstar style.
JD shouts, they sing it back,
Hands in the air, no holdin’ back!

And when we hit that Twins game loud,
We take the mic, we move the crowd!
"Take Me Out," we belt it strong,
Singin’ together, all game long!

Yeah, some days, it’s tough to go,
Tired, worn, feelin’ slow.
But once we’re here, we feel that spark,
Singin’ ‘til we light the dark!

So here’s to the voices, the power, the sound,
Mill City Singers, we shake the ground!
With JD leadin’, with Fred so smooth,
We turn it up, we hit the groove!

See you on Saturday!!
