Note that there will be a dress rehearsal on Wednesday, March 25, 6:30 pm in Convocation Hall (Old Arts Building), where the concert will also be held. For the concert, try arrive at Convocation Hall around 5pm, so as to stow your things and quickly test equipment and chair arrangements. Then we can all get a quick dinner before returning to the hall by 6:30. The concert is scheduled to start at 7:00 pm. Dress: smart casual (no jeans or sneakers). Be sure to have the music or lyrics you need in the right order, in a black folder.
