RENTING A DRESS?

If you will be renting a dress for this concert series, even if there is one with your name in it, please sign the sheet in the hall. A large group of ladies will be renting dresses this concert series, and we want to make sure everyone is covered (ar, ar). We are again asking for a $10 rental fee to cover the cost of cleaning. Thanks!

MOVIE TIME NEXT WEEK!

Join us for popcorn & cokes, and learn more about Alexander Nevsky as we view the film prior to rehearsal next Tuesday, April 17. We will meet at 6:00 p.m. in room 160, to watch the 50 minute movie.

TICKET SIGN-UP TONIGHT
AND NEXT TUESDAY ONLY

Those chorus members who are participating in the Prokofiev concerts may sign up for one complimentary ticket for any of the three concerts. The sign up sheet is in the hall.

If you are purchasing discount tickets to be located with your comp, please do not sign the comp list, instead, use the form on the table in the hall. You may also use this form if you are buying discount tickets that have nothing to do with your comp!

Comp and discount ticket sign up will conclude next Tuesday, April 17. See Cheryl if you have questions.

YEARS OF SERVICE

Starting next week, you will find a list in the hall showing credit for years of service in the Houston Symphony Chorus. Please keep in mind that 80% attendance is necessary in receiving credit for service semesters. (Two semesters = 1 year of service. Semesters do not have to be consecutive.) Awards will be given during our upcoming concert weekend.

Many of you have heard about recordings of the Carmina Burana concerts from last year being made available to Houston Symphony subscribers.
More details are coming soon, but know that if you participated in that concert, you will have access to this recording. Watch your Chorus Notes for further information!
