Thursday Thoughts

Thanks you for a very good rehearsal Tuesday night. The music came a long way and is starting to settle. Now for Saturday's workshop I would ask that you refer to Joudrey's Theorm # 23 - DWWR (Do What Was Rehearsed!)

A few reminders:

- be in your places and ready for singing by 9:30 am on Saturday.
- PLEASE always be aware of Camerata's no scent policy. There are people in the choir very allergic to perfumes, colognes, scented lotions, etc. All singers - male and female - are reminded that we have a no scent policy for all rehearsals and concerts.
- please remember to wear your Camerata t shirts on Saturday
- remember to work on your program advertising as it is due in a week. Last year this was a good source of revenue for the year's programs and we should try to surpass last years' numbers.

Please check last week's blog post for the rep list for Saturday. Some people have been asking about the schedule for the day and it looks like this:
