Congrats to those Mustang Singers chosen to participate in the Black History Month Program Project. Please try your very best to be at all rehearsals, as there are not that many!
I am embedding videos below that you can listen to to begin familiarizing yourself with the music as I create something tangible to look at.
Small group singers on "A Change is Gon' Come", we will determine who sings what verse at our next rehearsal (Feb. 6th) , so come prepared to claim the one you want!
Everyone else in the large group, spend time listening to "Maybe God is Trying to Tell You Something". We stop at the 2 minutes 45 seconds mark. If you are interested in the solo, spend lots of time listening!
REHEARSAL SCHEDULE:
Monday, January 30th: 4:20-5:30pm
Monday, February 6th: 4:20-5:30pm
Monday, February 13th: 4:20-5:30pm

A link to the Sam Cooke lyrics video is below. The protest views expressed in the video are not necessarily those of the CCSD or Ms. Hemmings, but this video is a helpful tool because of the superimposed lyrics.

Maybe God is Trying to Tell You Something Excerpt Lyrics:
Excerpt:
Yes, yes, yes, yes, Lord, yes
Oh, yes, my soul, my soul says yes
If I were you, I would say yes, speak, Lord. Speak to me.
Oh, Speak, Lord. Won't you speak to me?
I was so blind, I was so lost until you spoke to me
Oh, speak, Lord. Speak, Lord. And hear my mind,
Oh, with your word, heal my soul
Oh, speak, Lord. Speak to me. Speak, my Lord.
I love you, Lord. Save my soul
Can't sleep at night and you wonder why
Maybe God is trying to tell you something
Crying all night long, something's gone wrong
Maybe God is trying to tell you something
Oh, you can't sleep at night and you sure wonder why
Maybe god is trying to tell you something
Excerpt:
Yes, yes, yes, yes, Lord, yes
Oh, yes, my soul, my soul says yes
If I were you, I would say yes, speak, Lord. Speak to me.
Oh, Speak, Lord. Won't you speak to me?
I was so blind, I was so lost until you spoke to me
Oh, speak, Lord. Speak, Lord. And hear my mind,
Oh, with your word, heal my soul
Oh, speak, Lord. Speak to me. Speak, my Lord.
I love you, Lord. Save my soul
Can't sleep at night and you wonder why
Maybe God is trying to tell you something
Crying all night long, something's gone wrong
Maybe God is trying to tell you something
Oh, you can't sleep at night and you sure wonder why
Maybe god is trying to tell you something
