Calling ALL musicians! We mean it! Opera singers, shower singers, happy birthday singers, bell ringers, ding-a-lings and musicians in training! All humans from 3 years to 110 years are invited to give music at FUMC a try.
Rehearsals for FUMC musical ensembles resume their regular schedules soon. All interested musicians (and wanna-be musicians!) are welcome to join. The rumor that you have to be an exceptional musician to join is NOT TRUE! Invite your friends to join us. If you miss the first rehearsal, come to another! Contact Barbara Zachow for more information at 217-356-9078 or bzachow@comcast.net.
