District Big Sing
2002
The Singing Dutchmen will host the Big Sing, for the year 2002. A mass chorus selection of "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" by Ed Lojeski and published by Hal Leonard (TTBB) will be replacing Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. All choruses are to purchase this selection if they do not have it in their library. According to NY/Penn District policy, each chorus will be reimbursed by the District for the number of copies purchased according to the number of dues paying members within that chorus. An invoice must be submitted to the district treasurer before payment is made.
An additional number will be added to the Big Sing mass numbers and that will be "God Bless America." Everyone including the audience will be asked to sing along to the melody.
