I am only suggesting that we go somewhere that people will be - not hook up to Revels as I think Stu is right.

BUT a mouthoff is just a show up and do it...right.

Hi All,

For what was written, I take it that someone is suggesting that we try to be a part of the river sing on Sept. 2oth - From what I know of Revels, having worked with them as a volunteer, and usher, and tried as a storyteller, they can be very set in their

ways and not open to having others join them (unless they invite them) - plus the 20th is not a lot of lead time (only a month away) and we

don't want what happened with GreenFest to be repeated.

I am sorry if I always seem to play the voice of reason or caution, I too want to get out there and do stuff, I just want them to be as successful as possible.

I do think that the first thing we need to do is something we put togeter - not something we attach our selves too

Also, having worked with University before and trying to getting permission to try to do something can really be a night mare - if we have to contact Harvard, MIT,MDC, etc. It could literally take a year to get through all of the "bureaucratic bullshit" and get a straight answer. I might be best if we start this process and see what happens - giving them what they would conceder a resonable timeline/or date - one or two months is not going to be enough for them - we might have to wait for spring for this specific project.

What do others think?

will mark the moment that summer tilts into autumn with the 6th annual.
This FREE event features Revels singers,The Family Folk Chorale,the Halalisa Singers,Sharing a New Songand members of other Boston area
choruses as we say goodbye to summer and welcome in the glories of autumn with
singing along the  banks of the Charles River.
Parade with us from Harvard Square, where the festivities begin,
to the river at 5:45 pm. Bring along your family, friends, and a picnic
to join in spirited singing beginning at 6:00 pm.

As the evening ends, enjoy the beauty of sunset and the peace of the
River as musical guest Stan Strickland plays a mystical saxophone coda,
floating across the water on an illuminated Sun/Moon boat, then dance with us
to the New Orleans jazz inspired sounds of the Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band.
