For Nemours on 12/27 at 11am, we will play everything below IN THIS ORDER. Here is a document with directions for arriving at Nemours: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UXAvBoKdU7aFWxgUPDDUwucCcgXMIYaVdsiFauK6F9Y/edit?usp=sharing Please arrive by 10:45am and wear black, white and/or red. Festive holiday accessories are encouraged. Bring a stand and a chair if you are picky about what you sit on.

Please note that I found a new quartet version of Silent Night, and it is linked below. I changed the part assignments, also, so please check the document. I replaced The Holly and the Ivy with a corrected version Phil sent me, so please reprint it and Silent Night.
