Hi Everyone,

Welcome to Tech Week!  Tomorrow night will be our first technical rehearsal at Holy Trinity from 7-10PM.  The second technical rehearsal will be at our concert venue, ERUUF (4907 Garrett Rd, Durham, NC 27707) on Wednesday from 7-10. Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes so you are comfortable throughout the long rehearsals.

1)      Concert Scarves and Concert Folders: Both scarves and black concert folders will be available at each of the technical rehearsals (Monday and Thursday). If you need a Spring scarf for our concert on Saturday, please see Rah Bickley (A1) to either borrow a scarf or purchase one for $10. If you borrow a scarf, sign out the scarf on the clipboard and please keep the Ziploc bag provided in your concert folder. After the concert, please place the scarf in the Ziploc bag and return to Rah.  When signing out a black folder, please put your name next to the folder number on the sheet.  If you are going to hold onto the folder for the Ireland tour, please check the column that says “return after tour”
