>I wanted to get this out to all of you concerning the Breakfast on the day of Competition (Saturday - March 28th).... Our wonderful Director has graciously decided to forfeit 3 months of the gas$$ allowance to be used toward reducing our expense for Breakfast on competition day..... to $10/person..... This will be a time for all of us to relax, calm some of those nerves and enjoy each other's company as we go into our final chorus rehearsal prior to going on stage. We would really like for everyone to be able to attend. So drop me an e-mail and let me know Yes or No. THANK YOU - CHERRI.

>Also, Peggy said that some of you were interested in the Taco Bar Lunch being offered f~~or Friday at Lunch (March 27th)~~. >ATTENTION --- CORRECTION >The taco bar is after chorus competition and before the show Saturday, not Friday. Sorry for the confusion. >Lillian

The cost is $20/person. ~~Keep in mind that RAMM begins at 1:00 pm....~~

Hi everyone,

The new blog is ready to use! Please feel free to use this BLOG to let the other members know your thoughts, your ideas, and your news here. Have fun with it and we can hopefully always come here to find out whatever we need to know.

I want to say how WONDERFUL the Quartet Retreat was on Saturday in Dallas! We heard more beautiful harmony than I ever thought possible. Even the least polished quartet was fantastic!
