Rick's Journal

In December, my flute choir, the Silver Village Flute Choir, had eight members.  As of today, one of them has moved to TX and two of them have taken a leave of absence.    This means I'm down to five members for the Spring season.  Realistically, this is not enough to consider doing any performances.  I really need a minimum of six because most flute choir music has at least six parts.

So tonight, not only did I cancel the first rehearsal of the season (we would only have been four people due to illness), but I announced to my group that I was canceling the entire Spring season and that we would reconvene in the Fall.  I will use this time to advertise for new members and give the people on leave time to finish their pursuits and rejoin us (hopefully).

On the bright side, it will give me more time to work on the database project I'm doing as a consultant on the side and maybe focus on my arranging more.
