Homework:    Please study your music before Wednesday's rehearsal so that you can watch the director.  For O Nata Lux in particular, that will enable us to achieve the beautiful plasticity needed.

Afterparty!

PARTY! Gerald and Joyce will host a cast party after our concert Saturday.  Address: 474 Snyder Hill Road. We live about 2 miles up from Pine Tree Road on Snyder Hill Road in a sage green Victorian on the left as you head uphill.


PARKING: There are a few spaces along our side of the road between our house and the garage 50 yards towards Ithaca. Or turn onto Whitted Road, which is a little farther out from Ithaca on the other side of our road. It is a dead end road, so safe to park anywhere there. 


FOOD, DRINK: Please bring food and/or drink to share. 


Tickets
Remember to turn in all money for sold tickets and any unsold tickets to Vivian by the Friday of concert week (May 9). 
 
If you need more tickets (hurray!), ask Vivian.
 
Appreciation of Gerald & Bill
There will be envelopes on one of the back pews at both "dress" rehearsals to collect cash contributions for gifts for Gerald & Bill to show our appreciation for all of their work with us this semester.
 
Gibbons Scholarship
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Gibbons Scholarship while the collection jar was with our chorus.
