Masterworks Singers Newsletter Fall 2024 No. 10
Dear Singers,
I apologize for the tardiness of this reminder Newsletter edition. I was having some technical difficulties.
Here is your reminder Newsletter edition for our 8th rehearsal tonight at 7 pm in the St. Theresa Sanctuary.
You all had such an amazing improvement last week. I am looking forward to another
great polishing rehearsal for our mini-tour to Fredericksburg on Sunday.
Tonight we will do part of the rehearsal sitting, but then we will conclude with a bit of standing in the positions we need to use for the concert.
At the beginning of the rehearsal, we will continue to read quickly through the Mass Parts for the service. We sing the 11:15 Mass service at St. Mary's Historic Church.
For those riding the bus, please know
that we are officially having only ONE LOADING AT ST. THERESA PARKING LOT. In conversation with the bus company that is the easiest manner.

Important Info about the Bus to Fredericksburg
_______________________________________________________________________________
For those riding the bus, I have received the quote from the bus company. I am sad to say it is higher than it was two years ago
when we last took this trip. As a result of that increase I must ask for a fee of $35 per rider to help defray the cost of the bus. We have enough to essentially take care of half the cost of the bus in our budget, so this extra fee is necessary for us to stay on budget with the total costs of the November concert and it's chamber orchestra.
__________________________
It is important that everyone riding the bus let Amber-Nicole McIntire know by the
end of rehearsal this evening so that we can have a correct bus roll.
__________________________
Please make sure you are dressed in concert dress for the Mass and concert. You may have a change of clothes if you wish, but I ask that you be dressed at 10 AM for the entrance into the church.
