Notes for Convocation 2015

General

Please practice memorizing "Of Thee I Sing, America". The practice track is here. This must be memorized by Monday so that you are able to watch the conductor.

Please pay special attention to the notes below for each of the rehearsals and the adjusted time on Monday. It is extremely important that you pay close attention to my detailed instructions about returning your uniform on Tuesday. No excuses or exceptions to my request about returning the uniforms.

Monday

Please arrive no later than 10:15 AM. Please bring your music for "Of Thee I Sing, America" in case there are any spots which require rehearsing. You MUST bring your music and it must be memorized by Monday. Rehearsal will finish around 12:00, after which a free pizza lunch will be provided. You do not have to stay for the lunch, but why woud you miss free food?

You are responsible for your own transportation to and from this rehearsal.

Tuesday

Please arrive no later than 8:00 AM. Plan to stay to hear the guest speaker. We should be done no later than 11:30, at which point a bus will be available to transport students back to CHS who cannot drive themselves.

Please remember to come fully dressed in your uniform. This includes black shoes and socks. Ties will be issued at the coliseum and must be returned before leaving. Individuals not in full uniform or that have noticably unnatural hair colors, excessive jewelry, or are otherwise not in compliance with the uniform code will not be allowed to perform. Please consult the handbook or ask a director if you have any questions. When in doubt, ASK!

Do not forget to bring a change of clothes and hangers for your uniform with you on this day. Everyone will be returning their uniforms to the CHS Choir Hall after the performance.

All students MUST return their uniforms on hangars to the CHS Choir Hall no later than 12:00 PM on Tuesday. NO EXCEPTIONS! You will need to have someone bring yours for you if you cannot return the uniform in the designated time frame on Tuesday.
