Because of our special staging and choreography, attendance at all rehearsals is required. The rehearsal on May 6 is worth 100 points; all other rehearsals are worth 50 points.

Please try to avoid scheduling other appointments at these times.
A student attending school on the date of these rehearsals is expected to be at the rehearsal itself.
In case of absence due to illness, please send a parent email to the director as soon as possible.
Absences without prior notification and approval from the director will result in zero points. Thank you for your attention to these important details.

CONCERT ATTIRE:

Students will receive a costume list by April 15 detailing exactly what they will wear for each choir number. There will be several costume changes during the show. The two choir rooms will be used for costume changes.

CONCERT NIGHT ATTENDANCE:

Students must arrive at the choir room by 6:30 PM on concert night.
Bring all costume items in a large bag, laundry basket, or box.
Label the container and costume items clearly with first and last name.
