Thursday Thoughts

Everyone,

Thank you for a great final rehearsal.  There was some really exciting music making on Tuesday and I am so looking forward to singing this program at St. Bernard's.

So to review:

The call for the choir is 2:30 pm on Sunday afternoon in the church.  Please allow ample time to get there, arrive,  use the washroom, etc., etc.  I will have a maximum of 45 minutes singing in the church before we will have to vacate for the audience, and I will need all of that. Placements will be different, and I want everyone to be comfortable when we being at 4pm.

The concert is 75 minutes of music (including encore) plus intermission.  There likely will be refreshments for the choir afterwards in the sacristy (out back).

We will gather in the sacristy before the concert and at intermission.

Please bring all HCS scores you have to return to the blue box in the sacristy immediately after the concert.


Directions to St. Bernard:

http://mapq.st/k9qYUJ?__domain=ca    (Mapquest)


Click on the link and take it from there. The directions are specific to coming fron Truro but HRM people pick up the directions from highway 101. I prefer going through the Rawdon Hills to Windsor however that's likely because i like the twisty roads in the Miata! You have better road coming in the 102 and then picking up the 101 in Bedford. An interesting note: MapQuest gives the time from Truro at 3h 30" while Google Maps puts it at 4h 30".  I think Google Maps is more accurate so don't short change your drivig time.


But for basic directions from Hwy 101:  Take exit. 4B (Evangeline Trail) to Hwy 101 for about 240 km. Take the exit NS-1 ramp to NS- 340/ Belliveau Cove/Grosse Cocques/Church Point and head toward Church Point for a couple of k and you will see a grand stone Catholic church on the right hand side of the road. You can't miss it! 

If there are discrepencies or confusion please email each other. I am auditioning in Halifax Saturday morning and will be leaving Truro around 9:30 am.

Drive safe and I'll see you in St. Bernard.
