Fall Concert Dress Rehearsal Date Change

Unfortunately, we must announce a change in the dress rehearsal date for the Fall Concert. TMH has accepted a booking for our original date of Wednesday, October 31, and informed us as such. Thursday, November 1 is already booked at TMH. Tuesday, October 30 gives us no positive dress rehearsal reinforcement, as it’s one day after our regular Monday rehearsal, and five days away from the concert. And it’s not possible to simply use the Monday night rehearsal as the dress, as we already have only 7 rehearsals in this cycle.

Considering all our options, the Board has backed my decision to move the Fall Concert dress rehearsal to the only slot possible with TMH — Saturday, November 3, 1:00-4:00 pm. We recognize this is not ideal, but I am asking everyone to do everything possible to help us make this work with minimal collateral damage. Please take a hard look at that afternoon, and “clear the decks” if at all possible. It’s not ideal for me either, but I will make it work so we can make this happen together. We will not ask anyone to refrain from playing the concert for missing this dress rehearsal, but for the benefit of our best performance possible, I am asking you to please do what you can to help us make this work. This is the best we can do in the wake of a booking that was out of our hands.
