Even though the choir will not begin rehearsals until September 13th - the committee work of MUSE has already begun. For some, it never stopped all summer. Members of the Musical Excellence Committee are pictured above working on new repertoire selections for fall.

Hours and hours were spent in the recording studio to bring you MUSE's new CD: "We Who Make Our Meaning Clear." The CD is now in the very final production stages of placing songs in order and getting all of the editorial work completed for the inside liner notes.
