"Do Re Mi Fa So--."

It was a lovely wedding at St. John's in downtown Frederick, but after the long catholic ceremony, your patience for this equally-long receiving line is wearing thin. You find yourself stuck in a pew not far from the adjacent choir room, and the seemingly incessant vocal warm-ups are less than entertaining.

"Do Mi So Mi Do---."

You glance over, trying to will the alto section to find the pitch. As you turn back, you find yourself being approached by a middle-aged man who introduces himself as "Deacon Dan." He hands you a flyer with this week's events and recommends you give it a good look. You start to respond that you are just here for the wedding, but, as if expecting the retort, he casually leans his left shoulder forward and dusts off his lapel. It's then that you notice the geocaching pin proudly displayed on his sports coat. He smiles knowingly, and disappears around a corner as quickly as he came.

"Do-- So La Do-- So La Do Me Me Do--".

They are getting a little jazzy now, but you have a new way to pass the time while waiting to pay your token congratulations to the bride and groom, and peruse the paper. You are mildly amused by the interesting titles, and even wonder about getting some friends together and attending one of the events.

"Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re Do-----."

As your pew finally starts to file step-by-step towards the blushing bride and gracious groom--well, half-step-by-half-step, really--you can't help but wonder if there is more to this flyer than meets the eye. Can you figure it out?
