Performance Attendance Posted on March 10, 2011March 11, 2011 (3/10/2011) From Fred: To all singers who were at orchestra rehearsals this week: We have a problem because we can not squeeze enough chairs on stage to seat everyone at the performance. We are working on solutions but need some information Send me a return message only if: 1. You will NOT be singing Verdi on Saturday 2. You will NOT be singing Verdi on Sunday. Keep it simple. For example: “I will not sing Verdi on Saturday. (Update 3/10/2011) From Dr. Whitmire: Dear Singers- Greetings from Chicago! I am hearing some wonderful choirs, and the weather isn’t too bad! There were a number of singers who missed an orchestral rehearsal this week. Most absences were not excused. I am very disappointed. If for ANY reason you missed both rehearsals, you may NOT sing the concert. Also- As you know, the logistics of this concert have become very difficult. Therefore, I must request that all singers who cannot sing BOTH concerts opt out altogether. Divising two different seating plans is not tenable. I know this is very disappointing and I am sorry, but I have no choice. Fred and the section leaders will let me know to whom this applies.
