COVID Update – Given the current infection rate, the proximity required for the performance, and the vulnerability of our members and the community at large, the Board has decided that we will wear black masks for our performance on January 21st. You are welcome to bring your own black mask or one will be provided. Soloists are welcome to remove their masks during their solo. We ask that you consider performing a COVID rapid test the morning of the concert as an extra precaution to help keep our community safe and healthy. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Concert Special Needs – If you need a chair or a music stand for our upcoming concert, please let our Logistic Chair, Marsha Ferguson, know as soon as possible so the necessary arrangements can be made in advance of the technical rehearsals.
Concert Volunteers – We are in need of several volunteers. If you have a friend or family member (>15 years of age) who would be willing to help as an usher, we need 4 volunteers. If you have an adult friend or family member who could assist with the box office, we need 2 volunteers. Finally, we will need 6-8 chorus members to help with set-up and clean-up of our concert venue. Please let Marsha know if you can help with any of these tasks and she will provide the details. Thanks in advance!
Concert Tickets – If you have any questions, reach out to Allison Mangin (S2), our Ticket Manager. All unsold tickets and money are due next Monday, Jan 16. If you would like to pay for presale tickets with Venmo (@WomensVoicesChorus) or PayPal (treasurer@womensvoiceschorus.org):
- Have ticket purchasers pay you directly and pay the total from your account.
- Add a note to the online payment that it is for presale tickets and include your name.
- Hand in your envelope with the types of tickets sold and the amount collected, note that it was paid on Venmo or PayPal, and include your Venmo id or PayPal email address.
Concert Dress – Reminder that WVC Concert dress is all black, from collar to toe, including shoes and stockings:
Black tops (3/4 length sleeves or longer) – no beads, sequins, netting, lace, velvet, etc.
Black floor-length dress pants or skirts (no patterns, velvet, ruffles, or tiers).

We also wear seasonal scarves, which can be purchased for $10 or borrowed. These will be available the week of the technical rehearsal.
Auditions – Auditions for next season will be held on February 2nd so if you have a friend who sings like a nightingale and is interested in joining us, please let them know the details (information on our website).
