We learned late in the week that TMH has booked another event in the early evening on Monday, March 5. Marge & Rachel stepped in on our behalf and negotiated our position with the TMH administrative staff, and we were able to save the rehearsal. However, we will meet with these variations:

• Please arrive at the front doors at 7:45 pm.
• We will gain access to the stage at 8:00 pm.
• The TMH staff will have chairs & stands ready for us at the back of the stage (upstage). With any luck, they will have brought large percussion up as well.
• We will set up quickly at 8:00 pm and begin to rehearse.
• In order to make the evening significant, we will rehearse until 10:00 pm.
• At 10:00 pm, the TMH staff will move our chairs, stands, and percussion to the annex. (I am guessing that we could show a positive effort by simply stacking chairs on the stage and organizing stands to the rack.)

We also learned that we cannot have TMH on March 12 and 19. We will find and announce an alternate site asap. We will return to TMH on March 26. We are hoping to gain support from TMH to have our equipment moved back for us upon our return; stay tuned for updates.

Monday’s rehearsal order is posted here. See you then!
