Announcements May 9th Edition
Madrigal Chorale
- SPACE: Only the Sanctuary will be needed for the rehearsal. Choir members are welcome to keep their belongings in the pews.
- PARKING: Choir members are welcome to use both the upper and lower lot.
- ONLY the Upper Sanctuary Doors will open at 6:30pm for choir members to enter. This is a change from last year, as our security rules have changed. These will be the only doors open, as I can see who is entering and exiting these doors from the Sanctuary. We will open the downstairs doors by the elevator for the performance, but not the rehearsal.
- Rehearsal begins at 7:00pm
- Doors will lock at 7:30pm, giving a 30 minute grace time for late choristers.
- Rehearsal ends at 9:30pm.
Performance Time: 7:30pm – 9:30pm
- SPACE: Choir members will have the choir room for a green room and warm up space.
- SPACE: Children's choir will have the Chapel as a green room and warm up space
- SPACE: Sanctuary for the performance
- PARKING: I recommend that all choir members able to park in the lower parking lot to allow those with mobility issues to use the upper parking lot.
- 5:30pm- Both Upper Sanctuary Doors and the doors by the elevator will open for choir members. Last year, the choir's call time was 6pm. With this in mind, I will be at the church and will have the doors open at 5:30pm.
- 6:00pm-Choir Call Time & Rehearsal. Erik, our tech person, will be there to help with sound checks and to run the board and lights.
- 7:00pm - All choirs move out of the Sanctuary to allow our audience to find their seats.
- 7:30pm- Concert begins
