Important Key Dates Update: New Dress Rehearsal Time June 6

New! We have secured the Alix Goolden Hall on June 6th (Friday night) for our Spring Signature Concert. 

So there will be no morning rehearsal on Saturday, June 7, only a regular show call for the afternoon show (exact final call times TBD).

This means that we can rehearse group numbers all together!

We hope this will make for a less rushed Saturday concert, and let everyone get some more sleep. 

CC is called for 5-6:35PM on Friday, June 6.

New KEY DATES are attached.

RC                 3:30 - 4:15pm

RC/PC            4:15 - 4:30pm
