Dear Singers,
I hope you are all getting excited about our upcoming concert.
Concert Tickets – All unsold tickets and money are due on Monday, January 22.
Concert: Special Needs – If you require a chair or stand, handicap parking for you or a guest, or special seating in the concert venue, please send your requests to Kinley Russell, who is our fearless Logistics Chair: kinley.russell@gmail.com.
30th Anniversary Reception – We will be hosting a reception for our guests after our concert on January 27th in the Fellowship Hall at UCCH. Last week, I asked for a show of hands of singers who would be willing to bring savory or sweet finger foods on the day of our concert and I was delighted with the response. We will be ordering a full sheet cake and will purchase all of the paper goods. If you are willing to provide a platter for this event or willing to help clean up after the event, please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4EAFAB2EA2F9C07-47235730-30th.
We ask that you bring your food to share on a nice plate/platter. Please put a piece of masking tape on the bottom with your name clearly written so we can make sure it is returned to you. We will put all remaining platters in a bin during clean-up and bring them to the listening party on Monday, January 29th
Social Media: It has come to my attention that not all members are aware of our FB presence so I have included an excerpt from the WVC Chorus Handbook (p10) about how to be a part of WVC social media. We have two FB pages (public and private):
Public Social Media: WVC has an official, public page on Facebook. This is where we post news about concerts, reviews, auditions, fundraisers, retreats, and other items of general interest. We also share videos and pictures of birthday celebrations, tiara recipients, and other events. We do NOT tag individuals in photos or posts. If you are on Facebook and haven’t already done so, “like” our page and invite your friends.
Private Facebook Group: We have a private Facebook group, called Sisters of WVC, for current and former members and directors. This is a place where we can talk about anything, whether it’s choir-related or not—share news, ask for advice, mingle, participate in the great pie vs. cake debate, and get to know one another. The group is set to “secret,” which means whatever is posted there can be seen only by group members. Any member of the group can add others, but the administrator must approve the addition.
Don’t worry if you’re not on social media or if you’re not interested in getting involved. No official chorus information will be posted on either the official public pages or the private group that is not first sent directly to your email, announced at rehearsal, or posted on our website.
Registration for Spring Semester – In preparation for our next season, we are asking all members to indicate if they will be continuing to sing with us. Please take a minute (literally) to fill out the registration form before January 22. Here is the link: https://forms.gle/ZhY8UTPoA5esYRGK8. This will make our preparations much easier. Thanks in advance.
Listening Party – After every concert, WVC meets together on the Monday night after the concert to share a potluck meal and to listen to the recording (unedited) of our concert. The winter listening party will be held on Monday Jan 29 from 6:30p-8:30p in our usual rehearsal space. Please sign up for the potluck here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4EAFAB2EA2F9C07-47196457-listening. We hope to see everyone there!
Zoom Link for Rehearsal: You can join the Zoom Rehearsals here. Meeting ID: 858 3293 4624; Password: 121074.
See you tomorrow night!
Janet
