Important Notes:
- Dress is usually described as "Solid dark dress pants or skirt" with a solid white top with an optional colourful accessory such as a Christmas scarf, a necktie. or a shirt pocket handkerchief or flash.
- Please bring dry shoes to change into at rehearsals to avoid soiling the stage at SPC.
- Please dont wear scents such as perfume or aftershave/cologn to any rehearsals or to a concert.
- Bring your music in a black choir binder available from our Membership committee.
- If you can, try to arrive early to help setup the chairs and piano. This is easy work for a small group, but very hard work for Blair alone!
