Bad Weather Plan
Now that it's winter we need to have a plan for inclement weather. Please make sure to check the facebook group before you set out for rehearsal. If the weather is poor, we will make a call about rehearsal no later than 11:00 a.m. and post accordingly. Remember that even if the conditions seems passable where you live it may be unsafe elsewhere. We will make a call about rehearsal taking into account the roads/conditions that the whole group needs to contend with.

Timeliness Reminder
All singers are expected to arrive at rehearsal no fewer than 5 minutes prior to the stated start time. Erin will only be at the door to let people in until 5 minutes prior. If you are late, you will need to text Erin to come back down and open the door. Her number is 902-300-9840. Please put this in your phone's address book. You are expected to arrange your travel so that you are at rehearsal in plenty of time to start.

Snack Schedule
Erin has already posted a new snack schedule for this term on our facebook group (yippee!!). Soprano 1s are on for this week!

Fees
It's a new term so fees are once again due. Please speak to Erin to confirm the amount you need to pay and make arrangements to pay by cash or cheque before the end of January. Cheques are payable to Xara Choral Theatre Society.
