        Merrimack Valley A Cappella (continued)



        At the beginning of June we were back in familiar territory in Wilmington, Mass., our former rehearsal
        home, performing at the local farmer’s market as we have done many times over the years. We will be
        resuming our appearances at senior living residences with a concert at the end of the month, also in
        Wilmington.

        We were very happy to welcome longtime Region 1 director (Liberty Belle Chorus/Boston Skyline Chorus
        and founding member/Merrimack Valley Chorus) Barbara Braxten to one of our rehearsals. She led the
        chorus through some vocal warm-ups and a heartfelt rendition of How We Sang. BB talked about how
        much she likes what she calls our unique “Merrimack Sound” and said how much she enjoyed our Open
        Division video.
