Back to work!

Posted on by

We’re back at it on Monday evening at TMH. I’ve updated the rehearsal plan, and am very excited to see everyone again, refreshed, and ready to roll!

There’s a lot going on right now as we prepare for the Spring, Exchange, and Caramoor concerts, and action is required by you regarding the Exchange weekend:

  • Please reply to the form that Claudia sent via email (you can just click here to access the form), so we can plan for the Exchange weekend Circle Line Tour and lunch at John’s Pizza, and post-concert reception. Please complete this form before rehearsal on Monday. Using this form to submit your information helps us to automate the huge process of collecting and processing this data — thank you for following through by Monday. We want to be good hosts, so we hope that everyone will participate in the Circle Line and lunch events, and please consider volunteering to host a homestay player or help with airport transportation.
  • Publicity flyers are ready for the Spring and Exchange concert. Find and download them from the Resources page. Print the hi-res flyers and post at your school, workplace, local coffee shop, church, etc. Upload the lo-res flyers to Facebook, Twitter, emails, and other online resources.
  • The Palace Theatre has published their ticketing page for the Exchange concert. Share this page with family and friends to purchase tickets:

  • We have two new fund-raising projects that Jim has been working on, which are almost ready for launch. We’ll have details on Monday.
  • Remember that we have a 20% coupon code for Caramoor tickets. (I’ll remind you of the code on Monday; we don’t want to publish it online.) For the past week or so, their site has not been displaying the seating map, and cannot take American Express payments. I hope they resolve this soon.
  • TMH has confirmed these concert dates for next season: Fall on Sunday, November 6 at 3:00 pm (dress on Saturday morning, November 5) and Winter on Sunday, February 12 at 3:00 pm (dress on Wednesday evening, February 8. We are still waiting for TMH to confirm the Spring date. There will be no Exchange Concert next season, but we hope that Caramoor will invite us back again in 2017.
  • Have you bought your 2015-16 CD’s yet? If not, Marge will have them at rehearsal on Monday! $30 — a bargain!

Enjoy the weekend, see you Monday!
