Chorus Notes Nov. 1, 2005 01-Nov-2005 14:10:29

See other important dates in Chorus Handbook, and on the Chorus Web Page (thanks to Dana Dupont for keeping this updated!)

If you have missed 3 or more rehearsals, or if you are on provisional status, you will need to sing an ITS before the Brahms concert. These will be held on Nov. 8 before rehearsal starting at 6 pm. They will be held in quartets. If you need to sing one of these, please sign up tonight on the sheet in the hallway.

All those singing in this concert are eligible for one complimentary ticket, and will be able to purchase additional tickets at a 20% discount. There are two options:

1) If you want a single ticket only, please sign up tonight or next week on the lists in the hallway.

2) If you want to purchase tickets alongside your comp, please call the Symphony Box Office at 713-224-7575.

Vouchers good for $3 parking are available for sale starting tonight at the break in the front of the rehearsal hall. CASH ONLY! Vouchers will be available next week as well. Thanks to Larry Hitt, David Knoll, and others who are working on this!

We hope to start sales next week, if not, they will be available during concert week. Sets will cost $10, cash strongly preferred. (Our bank charges us for check cashing.)

Let Susan or your section leaders know! We hope that you are publicizing this win/win package, and that a few more members of the community are becoming subscribing "Symphomaniacs"! Additional brochures are available on the Chorus Table.

Chorus member Bill Cheadle (bass) has a special offer for Chorus members at his dry cleaning business for cleaning chorus dresses, tuxedos and tuxedo shirts. 10% of the price will be donated to the Chorus Endowment fund, and Bill will take care of the transport. Speak to Bill, or see the Chorus Table for a flyer with details.
