Dear Singers,
I hope you're looking forward to an excellent concert. We've worked hard, we've learned some wonderful pieces, and the final product on Sunday is going to be super. I do hope that you've looked at any questionable notes since Monday's rehearsal, but [at this point] my real wish is for us to have fun and to communicate the joy of the music we sing.
Just so we're reminded about schedule and other details:
1. Saturday rehearsal: 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m., College Heights UMC [Chair crew: c. 12:35 please]
2. Sunday calltime: 2:00 p.m.
