Music Cost for "A Salute to Broadway" Concert
Music cost is $20.00.  There will be a music payment envelope on your chair with your name on it this Tuesday, please place your money in that envelope and return it to Kara before you leave rehearsal.  If you don't have any of the Broadway music that we have passed out, first check your chair at rehearsal and then talk to Kara if you still don't have it. 

Missing two pages "Sunday"
The copy of "Sunday" (from Sunday in the Park with George) that we passed out last week is missing the last two pages.  The missing two pages will be on your chair when you arrive.  We will pass a few staplers around the room during rehearsal so you can attach the missing pages to your score.

Coffee Fundraiser
Due date to return orders: This Tuesday, February 23
Coffee Delivery Date: Tuesday, March 16

REMEMBER: The Chorale makes $5.00 on every bag sold, so the more you sell, the more you are helping your Chorale.

Symphony Under the Stars
Make sure you have Saturday, May 8th marked on your calendar for the annual Symphony Under the Stars concert with The Florida Orchestra at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa starting around 6pm.  Raymond James Financial throws a concert event every year for their employees (& families) in the football stadium and it's really a lot of fun.  It is a private event (no public tickets) and usually has around 5,000 attendees (Kara will have access to some free advanced family tickets for you later).  Raymond James provides a very nice donation to the Chorale for this event plus it's great exposure to a crowd that may not typically come to our concerts.  It is very important to keep this relationship with Raymond James healthy by giving them a fantastic performance, so we ask all of you to set this evening aside now.  We will post more specific details as the time gets closer regarding rehearsals, directions, concert attire, tickets and performance times.  Music for this concert is free on loan and will be provided later.

Online Music Resources for Elijah
Listen to your part or all of them for each movement of Elijah online through a website called CyberBass.com.  Here is the direct link to this resource.  The link can also be found in the Singer's Section of our website.  Dr. Holt's score markings are also online in the Singer's Section.
 

Donations In Kind - Office Supplies
Here are some ideas for in kind donations.  We use all of the following quite frequently:  Copy paper, card stock, manila mailing envelopes, bubble envelopes for CDs (small and large), and pencils.  We could also use magazine file storage materials.
