At the end of tonight’s rehearsal, can you help get all the non-padded chairs stacked on the racks at the front of the room?  Thanks!

New Members and the camera shy – say “cheese”!  We would like to add your picture to our photo gallery that’s posted on our web page.  This lets us get to know you more quickly, and you may want to take a peak at this page to try to find out the name of the person you’ve been singing next to.  Ian Fetterley will take pictures in the rehearsal room at the break and after the rehearsal: please help us with this project!  Still missing from the list as of last week:

      Shannon Kolotyluk

      Kathleen Forbes

      Deborah Pyper-Reynolds

      Jim Jordon

      Clayton Lust

      Craig Hill

      Dewell Springer

      Grant McCloud

      Charles Brown

      R. A. Cunningham

Tickets for the Symphony’s 90th Birthday Party!  The Symphony is holding a birthday party on Wednesday, Feb 18 at 8 pm (birthday cake & party 6-7:30 pm), and you are invited!  Sign up for free tickets (up to two, general admission) tonight.  A limited number of tickets have been set aside for the Chorus, so please sign up only if you know you can use them.  Tickets will be distributed next Tuesday.

**If you are singing in both the Orff and Bernstein concerts, please sign in twice!!  And if you are not on a sign in list or seating chart but should be, write it at the bottom of the list.  This is the best way to confirm who is really singing which concert!**

Dues are due! New members, and those returning to the chorus after being on leave in the fall, need to pay the $10 annual chorus dues.  New members also need to pay a $15 music deposit, refundable when you leave the chorus.  You may give both payments to your section leader (cash, with a note giving your name and what it is for, or check to Houston Symphony Chorus – HSC).

New members: you can pick up your copy of CHORUS HANDBOOK  & Spring Calendar on the Chorus table in the hall.
