Notes for Sunday + Government House Performance!

Hi everyone!!

Thanks so much for your great effort during our long but productive rehearsal on Sunday!! We just have a few more rehearsals before our Christmas break, so let's make the most of it and end 2013 with a bang!

Scott Jones Fundraiser
Please read last week's blog post for information about the Scott Jones Fundraiser this Thursday (tomorrow).

Please remember that we will be wearing Xara T-shirts and black bottoms to this performance and that the call time is 5:15 pm.

Sunday's Rehearsal
Here's the plan for this Sunday's rehearsal:

1:15-2:00 pm   Soprano Sectional
2:00-5:00 pm   Full company
5:00-5:30 pm   Rehearsal at Government House

This Sunday we'll be finishing the blocking for Pseudo-Yoik Lite (memorized), Earth (memorized), and working on the repertoire for the performance at Government House. We will also be doing a run-through of Aglepta and Illumina to keep your memory work fresh on those pieces.

For this Sunday, please bring your black Xara dress so we can make sure everyone's dress will work for the performance on Tuesday evening.

Government House Performance
Here's the schedule for the Government House concert on Tuesday December 3.

6:00   Call time
7:00   Concert starts - welcome from Lieutenant Governor and his staff prior to us singing
8:00   Concert ends, reception and mingling in the dining room

We will not be able to get into the ballroom where we're performing until the concert itself, so when you enter the building we'll be meeting upstairs where we can warm up and get ready.

There are some protocols surrounding the interaction with the Lieutenant-Governor and we'll be going over those on Sunday.

Please advise your guests that they need to arrive between 6:30-6:50 pm on the day of the concert so the staff can prepare for the official entrance of the Lieutenant-Governor.
