The time is drawing near for our concert. Just a few things I wanted to be sure you were aware of:
1) Our Dress Rehearsal will be on Saturday, December 10, at 10:15 am in the High School Auditorium. We will be practicing with the Morgan Community Choir at this rehearsal as well as working through our songs to make sure everyone knows where to be and when. Choir members do not need to be in concert attire for this rehearsal. If your child is unable to attend, please contact me as soon as possible.
2) Our concert will be on Monday, December 12. The concert begins at 7 pm, but I need all choir members to be at the High School choir room at 6 pm to warm up and get ready for the concert. We have also been asked by the Community Choir to bring a dozen cookies per choir member for refreshments after the concert.
3) Concert attire will be white on the top and black on the bottom. Boys are to wear white shirts with dark ties and black pants, socks, and shoes. Girls need to wear white shirts and black skirts that reach at least to the knee with black tights or nylons and black shoes. If you are struggling to find something for your child to wear, please contact me as soon as possible and we will try to find what you need.
4) Since I am also a member of the Morgan Community Choir, I will be on stage singing when our choir is not performing. So, I need to have a few parents (three or four) who will help out with the choir back stage when they are not performing. I am working out all of the details for that, so if those parents who can help out back stage could be at the dress rehearsal on the 10th so that I can give instructions, I would be very grateful!
5) I know I am sound like a broken record, but we only have 2 rehearsals until our concert, so please continue to encourage your child to listen to the recordings I have on the website, especially Panis Angelicus. As always, those with solos need to continue working on their parts.
We have come a long way since we began in September and I'm excited to be able to show the community what Marcato Children's Choir are capable of. As always, thank you for your support and for sending your children to choir each week. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
