First order of business for Cantare is that there will be rehearsal this Tuesday which is Veteran's Day. Rehearsal will begin at 3:50 and end at 5:50 at our normal rehearsal sight. (snacks will be provided).
Also your attention should be focused on our new outfits!!!! Approval has been given by the RVYC Steering Committee to purchase new outfits. Skirts and blouses have been ordered for the girls and dress shirts, bow ties and cummerbunds for the boys. The singer's family needs to provide black tights, and black flat dress shoes (ballet flats) for the girls. The boys need to provide their own black pants (style specified in handbook), black socks and black shoes.
With the significant expense that it being put out for these outfits we trust that all parents will take special care in the laundering and storage of them.
Singers please continue to use your c.d's to hammer out the notes and rhythms so that rehearsal can be spent on the musicality of each piece.
A few items to note for the Children's Chorus is that they will also rehearse on Tuesday Nov. 11th at the regular time 4:30- 6:00.
Also your singer needs to be delivered to Rogue Valley Manor at 6:30p.m. on Thursday Nov. 13th. The performance begins at 7:00 and parents are invited to attend but we ask that you reserve the front seats for our Manor audience.
All singers should wear their blue performing shirts, black slacks, black socks and black shoes. See here to check the handbook for specifics.
Program will conclude st 8:00p.m.
