We were talking about this movie during the break at Classic Rock Choir last week. It is well worth watching. I don't see it on Netflix or Prime but I've found it for rent on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkKvQbPxdYU. $3.99.
This movie is a documentary about the life of Richard Pimentel, the creator of the guide used first in the U.S. then around the world, teaching workplaces how to integrate people with disability into the workplace. I had an opportunity to meet Richard at a conference and had a great time chatting with him - he said the movie is an excellent representation of what happened.
Here's the trailer: https://youtu.be/xpWs04Gsx-U

More Recording Tracks ONLINE
Hi everyone:
If you haven't yet seen, there are more recording tracks on the Spirit's Call Choir repertoire page in the members' site. So far we have Morning Hymn, Round and Round, The Rain Song and The River.
Do your best to get them all recorded and submitted by the end of this weekend so they don't pile up on you. Plus, it'll give me time to get them edited.
There are more songs to come: Hallelujah, Straighten Up and Fly Right, and Thula Sizwe. The absolute deadline for all recordings is end of Sunday December 13th.
Also, don't stress - if you feel you can't record all the videos, it's no problem. Just let me know so I'm not waiting on you.
Our concert will be Saturday December 19th at 7pm, online. (The same zoom link as we use for choir practice)
If you have questions or need assistance, please get in touch. jeremy@harmonyhousecommunity.com.
Have fun with it.
Thanks,
Jeremy.
Bohemian Rhapsody Recording Tracks
Hi All:
As promised, the guide tracks for recording Bohemian Rhapsody are now online. We've been working most of the afternoon and evening to prepare these tracks. We didn't quite finish but will have the alto track up tomorrow.
Have fun recording this song! Really rock it out, and it'll come across that much better in the video.
Remember, deadline for all recordings is December 6. Entries received after that may not make it for the December 12th concert.
The concert is held in conjunction with the Harmony House Music School, Saturday December 12th at 7pm, online. (same zoom link as you use for choir)
If you have any questions, or need assistance, get in touch. jeremy@harmonyhousecommunity.com.
Thanks,
Jeremy.
Recordings to be done by this weekend...
By the end of this weekend, (November 22) please have recorded and submitted "Round and Round" and the alleluia of the "Morning Hymn." Instructions on what to wear and how to record and send the video are all on the Repertoire Page along with the backtracks for the songs, and instructions on how to record and send the video are on the page How To Record.
As discussed in last night's rehearsal, the Round and Round backtrack has been reposted. There were some timing errors in the previous recording which have since been corrected. Our apologies for the error and resulting confusion.
If you've already recorded and submitted Round and Round, you don't need to redo it!!! I can edit it once I put the video together.
If you have yet to record, please note there are only 4 beats between EVERY verse, so there's no guessing where to come in. After the last note is sung in the verse, just count... 1... and 2... and 3... and 4... and "round and round..."
Get in touch if you have any questions or need assistance.
New tracks on CRC repertoire list
Hi All:
As discussed last practice, there are now practice loops under Bohemian Rhapsody for the specific measures where you may need extra practice. The loops are only a few measures each, and they loop 12 times.
Let me know if you need anything else to help you learn the song.
Jeremy.
