Dear Singers,

Concert Week!  Yay us! Please take a moment to read these very important announcements.

Reminder: Our two technical rehearsals will be at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Durham, 305 E. Main Street, Durham, NC 27701 from 7-10PM.  You will be standing for extended periods, so please wear comfortable shoes. We will start promptly at 7PM so please leave time to arrive and park so you are ready to sing. Please see this pdf for information about parking; there should be plenty of space in the church lot for our rehearsals, but feel free to share other options with your guests.

Ticket Sales: Thank you for selling tickets to family, friends, and members of our community. All unsold tickets and money are due on Monday, April 24th and should be returned to our Ticket Manager, Allison Mangin (S2). Please put them with your music so you do not forget to bring them to rehearsal.

Concert Dress – You do not need to wear your concert clothes to rehearsal – but it would be great if you could locate your outfit and make sure it is clean and ready to go for Saturday. If you have any questions (especially if you are new to WVC), please let me know.

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).

Seasonal scarves can be purchased for $10 or borrowed – Please see Rah
