From the Board President
Hi All,
We are 2 rehearsals and one dress rehearsal from the concert - I hope everyone is excited!
I mentioned it several times, but I wanted to put the dress code in writing just so y'all have time to get anything needed.
For Women - an all black pants suit or a dress that is minimum knee length, black shoes.
For Men - a black suit or tuxedo, black socks/shoes, white shirt, and a black bowtie. Black cummerbunds are optional.
I'm happy to report that we have 6 volunteers to run front of house - thanks to all who helped us find volunteers.
If anyone knows of someone who likes to take pictures, please let us know.
That's about it for this week - see y'all at rehearsal next week. :)
