Be sure to have your music in a black folder.

Use some time between rehearsals to look over some of the language/text that might still be tripping you up. I'll have a concert order for you by Monday, and it will be posted in the next newsletter as well.

Thanks, as always, for you attention to all this stuff...see you Sunday/Monday!"

Sherrie's Scherzo

Absolutely great progress on the music everyone! Any additional review you can squeeze in before our last rehearsal will make our performance that much better.

Please post the fliers wherever you are able and reach out to invite friends and family to the concert. While admission is free, the donations we receive from our audience play a significant part in balancing our budget. Concerts are also a great way to inspire people to join VOICES!

If you know that you will be unable to perform or attend the concert, please return your music at our last rehearsal this coming Monday, May 11th.

To keep everyone's belongings safe, on concert day please do not leave any valuables unattended in the community room or library as there is no way to secure these rooms. Either leave those items in your car or ask a friend or family member in the audience to hold them for you until the concert is over.

This Monday we will be asking for a few volunteers to help set up for the dress rehearsal and/or return the sanctuary to its original state after the concert. We will also need two non-members to hand out programs at the door.

Thank you so much for your helping hands!! We couldn't do it without you.
