ROCKBRIDGE CHORUS 2024-2025 SEASON
OUR FIRST REHEARSAL:
Monday, September 23 - 7:30 p.m.
Lexington Presbyterian Church sanctuary
NAME TAGS
For returning singers: If you have your name tag from last year, please bring it.
Everyone: We will have temporary (stick-on) tags for all. Robin can take requests for new tags.
ARRIVAL
It will be helpful if many of you can come a few minutes early to expedite registration/logistics.
As you are able, please enter through the principal front door on columned porch (there is accessible entry without stairs through the Main St. entrance up the street from the sanctuary)
REGISTRATION
When you enter, you will be directed to your section leaders, at whose stations you will register (providing/updating/confirming contact information) and pay season dues of $75. I remind you that there is scholarship support available.
SECTION LEADERS
SOPRANO – Robin Matthews desmid.lady@gmail.com
ALTO – Poppy Orendorf prorendorf@gmail.com
TENOR/BASS – Jim White white.james@gmail.com
MUSIC
After registering you can proceed to the music table (near the pulpit) where you will sign out your music packets from Anne Sauder and Liz Schmidt.
NOTE: Music is formatted with 3-hole punch for [black] loose-leaf notebook. If possible, bring your notebook. You can install your music and recycle the packet envelope back to us.
SEATING FOR REHEARSAL
For the first rehearsal(s) we will again be seated in the front pews on either side of the center aisle. As circumstances allow, we may progress to hold some rehearsals up in the choir area around the organ (where many of you worked in final preparations for the September 15 performance), and where we can better hear each other.
HEALTH
There are colds and viruses going around these days. Use your own best judgment about attendance. Masks may be a good idea.
IF YOU WILL MISS THE SEPTEMBER 23 REHEARSAL…
… please NOTIFY your section leader (e-mail addresses above).
FELLOWSHIP
To find more opportunity for fellowship and getting acquainted, your board is already planning some post-rehearsal socializing moments in the coming weeks.
REHEARSAL SCHEDULE
We will rehearse every Monday through December 2. Additional rehearsals that week before the December 7 performance should be confirmed before the end of September.
