Dear Singers,
Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow night! Please take a moment to read the announcements below:
Sectionals – we will have mixed sectionals tomorrow night at 6:45PM.
Concert Dress – The holiday season is a good time to take a moment to identify clothing options for our concert next month given that there are some great sales this time of year if you need an update. Some of our newer members have asked about the rationale behind our concert dress requirements. As a bit of background the chorus decided that instead of formal ‘uniforms’ (choral dress, identical dress), we would adopt the concert dress described below to accomplish a uniform look for the ensemble, but give members the freedom to wear their own clothing at a minimal expense, since black clothing is fairly commonplace. If you have any questions, please let me know. As a reminder, concert dress is all black, from collar to toe, including shoes and stockings:
Black tops (3/4 length sleeves or longer; modest neckline) – no beads, sequins, netting, lace, velvet, etc.
Black floor-length dress pants or skirts (no patterns, velvet, ruffles, or tiers).
Black opaque socks/stockings/tights and black closed-toe shoes.
No necklaces, dangling earrings (post earrings only), or flamboyant accessories.
No perfume or other scents. Many people have allergies and exposure to certain scents affects their ability to sing.
We also wear solid-colored scarves during our concerts. Scarves are to be worn around your neck, loose or tied however you choose, but please remember that some colors are reserved for the winter and others for the spring. You may purchase your scarves for $10 each or borrow them from WVC the week before the concert. If you borrow a scarf, return it immediately after the concert in the Ziploc bag provided.
Concert Postcards/Business Cards – please continue to distribute our concert information with your family, friends, and larger community. Mailing postcards require either a regular stamp or a $.48 postcard stamp. Let‘s get the word out.
Pecan Sales – Pecan orders are due by December 4th for delivery later in December. The forms will also be available on the Tour Fundraising page of the website (you need to be signed into the member site first): https://womensvoiceschorus.org/2024-ireland-tour/2024-tour-fundraising/
Concert Ads – It is time again to prepare our next concert program, which means time to consider selling or buying ads or tributes for the program. Please use the forms, which are available on the WVC website “Store” page, here. The deadline for ordering is December 21, 2023.
