[HANASHIR:4691] Re: choir names and uniforms

[Meris Ruzow <meris...>]

My adult chorus is "Kol Sason"  (sound of joy).   Kids' chorus is "Kol
Shira" (the sound of song).   My kids' middle school chorus at the day
school I teach at is named "SABABA !!!"  which means 'cool' in hebrew (Did
you hear that Steve D.?)   One of our Israeli teachers named us this when
she came into a rehearsal and felt the spirit in there.    We just couldn't
disagree with her after that.    I think we were singing Sam Glaser's
"Across the River" and she came in during the 2-part chorus.   Sorry to
ramble......
