DAY OF CONCERT DETAILS!!!

Aloha Ladies,
It's finally here!  I'm so excited to be and sing with you tomorrow.  Please make note of the following bullet points:

SEAT ASSIGNMENTS IN THE CHOIR LOFT: I want to publicly thank Laurel Hafen for the many hours she spent designing how to put all of you in your own seat by height, voice part, standing or sitting, etc. etc. etc.  She literally saved my sanity!  You will be receiving an email today with your seat assignment.  There are a few of you who never gave me your email.  Please contact one of your friends in the choir and they can easily see and tell you where you sit by referencing the email they received.

DRESS:
All black dress or skirt and blouse.  Sleeves that cover your upper arms and dress/skirt length that covers your knees when you sit.

SCARF:  Mono-colored scarf (just one color.... one) tied however you like.

HAIR/MAKEUP: Wear it however you feel most "performance-like".  If you don't normally wear makeup, you might want to apply some mascara, blush and lip color so you don't look pale and near death under the lights...

If you want to wear other clothes for the rehearsal and change into your performance outfit, you'll need to make sure you have a place to change on your own.  Their isn't space in the Tabernacle for that.

PARKING: You may park in the Conference Center parking free of charge if you'd like.  Your name is on a list.  Tell the parking attendant (if there is one that you are with the We Also Sing! Choir).

1:05pm ENTER the Tabernacle from the Southwest doors (unless they change that instruction) and sit in the pews until we call you up to your very own cool special seat in the choir loft.

1:15-4:30pm REHEARSAL: There will be lots of people doing lots of things (setting up sound, lights, instrumentalists,  all the cool stuff) so please stay focused on your part of the concert so we can make this feel like we've been doing this together for years!

4:30-5:30pm: SHORT BREAK to eat something and finish preparing yourself for two amazing concerts.  You'll probably want to bring plenty of water and something to eat during this break because there isn't very much time to go off the square to get food.  Please don't eat your food in the Concert Hall proper.  There will be a place to eat downstairs in the "horseshoe" during the break.

5:30pm: Meet in the Horseshoe for our last few minutes together to focus and set our intentions for the Concert. We'll show you where that is tomorrow.

5:45pm: Move into your very own cool special seat in the choir loft.

6:00pm: CONCERT #1

7:00pm: There will be no time for you to leave the choir loft unless you have to go to the bathroom or grab a quick snack (gals that are pregnant or have blood sugar issues).

7:30pm: CONCERT #2

8:30pm: Meet your family and friends outside the Tabernacle (pick a door for them to greet you).  Temple Square Event folks like to clear the hall pretty quickly so let's help them do that.
