Spring Concert & Technical Rehearsal – 6/10 & 6/13/2015

by

It’s June which means it’s time for Seattle Girls’ Choir’s season ending all choir concert. This spring’s concert is particularly special as it is Piccolini’s public debut! This Call Sheet gives you all the details for the Technical Rehearsal and Spring Concert. Please read it carefully.

Chaperones (moms and grandmothers) and other volunteers (dads too) are still needed to ensure the day’s success, please look to the list below and sign up immediately to fill those needs.

If you know your daughter will not be able to participate or will be late in arriving for the Tech Rehearsal and/or the Spring Concert please email me, (even if you have told your daughter’s conductor), so I can prepare the rosters for those days. This will avoid any needless phone calling to you.

[highlight]*Please call or text me at the SGC cell phone 206-696-3240 if you are going to be delayed or there is an emergency on the day of the Technical Rehearsal or Concert. If texting, please be sure to leave name, choir & expected time of arrival, thanks.[/highlight]

Regular Choir Rehearsal will be held at the Choir Center on Tuesday 6/9.

The Technical Rehearsal is in addition to this rehearsal.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions regarding either the Technical Rehearsal or Spring Concert. See you soon!

  • Avoid long lines on concert day by picking up your tickets at the Choir Center before rehearsal on 6/9.

Useful things to know about the concert

  • The lobby of Town Hall opens to guests at 12:35pm when the choirs are finished warming up in the lobby.
  • Auditorium Doors Open typically 25-30 minutes prior to the concert.
  • The concert starts promptly at 1:30pm. Allow time for parking as the Town Hall lot may be full or unavailable when you arrive. We cannot reserve parking. Parking is also available at various lots in the area including the Polyclinic (8th & Marion), Marion Street Garage (on Marion between 7th & 8th), etc.
  • The concert will be expected to conclude about 4:00pm.
