Notes and Reminders:
· Little Singers begins tomorrow! The A and B Choirs should sit in the back rows until the end of the Little Singers. When the LS are dismissed the A and B Choristers can quickly move up to their seats.
· Have your chorister sign you (or a grandparent or aunt or uncle) up to sing in the Family Choir at the concert. We will be singing “What A Wonderful World” for the A B B+ and “Christmastide” for the C Choir.
· Costume check on December 2. Please plan to have your full costume hemmed and fitted properly, with the correct shoes and socks for everyone. All choristers wear their formal RVCC costume to rehearsal on this day.
· Memory check on December 9. It’s a good time to start thinking about memorization!
· Naturally colored hair for concerts please.
· Joke Tellers and Fun Fact Reporters needed for the Community Sing-A-Long on December 7! For the Sing-A-Long event we always include about 6 of our very best Joke Tellers and Fun Fact Reporters to be a part of the sing-a-long program. Choristers can try out for a joke on November 25. If you plan to try out for telling a joke, please sign-up tomorrow or the following week. Please be well prepared for your try out!

Sending very best wishes for a Happy Sunday!
