We previously sang some new lyrics to an existing song to celebrate in-person schooling. We return on Monday! The lyrics are below since masks are not conducive to good diction. COVID you are such a burden... why don’t you just go away? School keeps running on without you Seems to be no risk to stay We just want to learn in-person like we have done everyday Disinfect and wash our hands too Mask us up and we will plow through Space us out just as you want to COVID we don’t like you.

This was an incredibly tough year to be a chorus. Though we were able to do some performing, plans to combine for a legitimate recording had to be put on hold. Just before our snow days and return to virtual education, a few classes were able to record some of our fall/winter work. This video is a sampling of work from October through December.

The chorus meme tree is up but empty. Remember to bring in your appropriate memes to decorate when we return on Monday!

Memories from some members of the chorus...

Last Thanksgiving eve...enjoying a show in Pittsburgh. Give thanks for what you have this year...there are no earthly guarantees for 2021.

Our meme tree is filling up...
