PARENT MEETING

Please join us toward the end of rehearsal on Tuesday, May 21, from 5:45-6:15 p.m. at First Baptist Church. We have a few announcements and will discuss the procedures for the day of the Spring Concert, including call times, wardrobe, chaperones and dropoff procedures. Also, we will touch on plans for next year, and ask for your feedback and questions. We're looking forward to seeing you then!

Rehearsal Schedule

Reminder: No rehearsal on Monday, May 13. It's hard to believe it, but we have reached the end of our regular rehearsal schedule for the year. Thank you for making this first year a huge success, and for beariing with us as we figure a few things out. Please check the calendar for the schedule of combined and tech rehearsals up to the June 10 performance. All singers should be off their sheet music now, so please bring binders to turn in all music at rehearsal this week if you haven't already done so.

How Am I Going to Get My Kids to 4:30 Rehearsal?!

Good news! We have several resources available to parents who wish to share rides or carpool to the combined rehearsals. With all ensembles participating, you can reach outside your child's chorus to the broader SCC community. Go to the Handouts page on the website and you will find these tools:

  • SCC Member Map of homes of all members
  • Member Directory to contact each other
  • Spreadsheet of rehearsal dates/times ready for you to coordinate your carpool

Also, don't forget our Yahoo group. You'll find a link to that on the home page.

Survey Coming

Look for an email coming soon for a members survey. We would appreciate it if you could complete the quick survey, so we can review our first year and know how we can best serve our members.
