60th Reunion

More than 40 alumni and current Saints took part in a weekend of rehearsals, receptions and concerts (both formal and inpromptu). The high point of the weekend was the 60th Reunion Concert, where hundreds of other alumni turned out in Gunnison Memorial Chapel to help celebrate. The group of Saints--with every decade from the '50s to the teens represented--put on a show spanning 60 years of music and history. The Singing Saints 60th Reunion was a great success and we all look forward to the 65th Reunion.

Watch this space for more pictures and video from the weekend.

Invitations to the 60th Reunion go out today by regular mail. Here's the text of the letter:

Dear Singing Saint:

Reunion Weekend, June 4-6, 2010, marks the 60th Anniversary of the founding of the Singing Saints. You are cordially invited to celebrate that milestone, as the Saints—and hundreds of other alumni—gather during Reunion Weekend to take part in festivities honoring one of SLU's oldest student-run initiatives.

The tentative schedule for the celebration is as follows:

Friday, June 4
4:00 - 5:00 pm: Welcome Reception
7:30 - 9:30 pm: Rehearsal
9:30 - 10:30 pm: Happy Hour

Saturday, June 5
2:30 - 4:30 pm: Rehearsal
6:30 - 8:30 pm: Dinner for Singing Saints and families
9:30 - 10:15 pm: 60th Reunion Concert in Gunnison Memorial Chapel
10:15 - 11:00 pm: Reception for Singing Saints and friends

We encourage you to make plans to return to St. Lawrence next Spring. The weekend will be filled with opportunities to sing, to relive your days as a student, and most importantly, to celebrate 60 years of men’s a cappella.

Please complete the online questionnaire to let us know you’re coming. When we get closer to Reunion, we’ll send a final schedule, information about accommodations, child care, copies of the music we plan to sing in the concert and a rehearsal CD.
