Arrive at the church by 5:45 p.m. and be on the risers by 6.00 p.m. for warm-up and run-throughs. Doors open at 7.00 p.m. to the audience. Show time is 7:30 p.m. – approx.. 90 minutes with no intermission, but we will have a short time to sit down.
NOTE: If you use a light on your music, could you be sure that it does not shine into the audience? There were a few complaints sent our way after the December concert
** Please return all scores afterwards! **
Concert attire
Concert attire is black top/shirt, long sleeve (3/4 to full length, and no sleeveless), black pants/skirt, black hose/socks (no white ankles please!) black shoes or boots.
No remarkably flashy/sparkly jewelery - it is distracting for the audience.
Scarves/ties/neckwear will be provided by the choir. Lovely blue for spring skies...

Please advise your section leader if you have to miss a rehearsal. If a section is short (ie. only a single sop-1) Scott would have the opportunity to delay rehearsing a piece that relies heavily on that section. So he must know in advance.
Your section leaders, who will advise Scott on your behalf, are:
Sopranos - Martha Nabatian
Altos - Kate Reekie
Tenors and Basses - Bill Osborne
The contact information for the section leads was distributed via e-mail.

Please be aware that we are rehearsing on both Family Day (Feb 17) and Easter Monday (April 21), but not rehearsing Feb 24 (since Scott has another prior commitment that night).
