Tues Nov 15 rehearsal & Sat performance info (for chorus members)

  • by

Hey everyone – just a reminder to come to rehearsal early on Tuesday (like 7 pm would be ideal). We will do a very short warmup and then launch into rehearsal. We will be rehearsing standing up, for the most part, except for those of you who can’t, so we don’t need all the chairs set up. Please stow your things away on the bench behind where the sopranos normally sit. And please understand that, in order to get through our repertoire, we need to keep the talking and socializing at a minimum.

On Saturday, we need to be there by 6:30 pm. Don’t put your stuff in the main room where the audience sits. We have a room close to the front entrance where we can keep our stuff.
