PUEBLO SHOW - THIS SUNDAY
- PLEASE ARRIVE BETWEEN 12:30 and 12:45 pm. Doors open at 12:30.
Dressing room space is very limited, so COME WITH MAKE-UP ON AND HAIR DONE.
- SECURITY for your valuables is NOT guaranteed. It is never a
good plan to leave a purse or valuables back-stage during a performance. Lock $
in your car trunk, pin it into your underwear, leave it home, or beam it up to
Scotty...but don’t leave it lying around unless you don’t want it any more.
- Bring your own WATER bottles and a snack for between sets if you
need one.
- DIRECTIONS: Sangre de Cristo Arts and Conference Center Theater.
Take I-25 south. Take First Street exit, turn right at the end of the ramp and
you’ll see the Center.
- Show starts at 2. Tickets are $10.00. The box office is open
11a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday (719) 542-1211.
- COSTUME: 1st set we will wear red dress, black sequin vest (not
the western fringed vest), suntan hose, chorus shoes, earrings that go with red
dress, stage make-up, all in one. For the second set, we’ll take off the black
vest and put on our beaded collars. We only have 15 minutes to make the switch,
so be prepared to jump right on it! Also, take a moment to picture all of those
black vests quickly being shed backstage...and then picture how hard it’s going
to be later to figure out which one belongs to you! Be sure your name is in
yours!
------------------
~ FRONT ROW AUDITIONS Wed., January 9th 6:30 pm. A detailed packet
will be distributed on Tues., November 27th
~ Don’t know the CHOREO? Don’t freak. Mel will conduct extra
R&B for the next few weeks: 6 pm, Nov. 13, 20, & 27.
~ HELP NEEDED!!!!!! - Kelly needs some assistance in setting up
and putting away the sound equipment for chorus. It is a really EASY job - you
just have to be able to lift a little - and come 15 min prior and stay 15 min
after chorus to set up and put away. This can be a shared position - 1 to 150
people - all are welcome! We can set up a working shift. Please contact Kelly
if you can help. KellyLCowan@home.com or 303-471-1403.
~ Yes, WE ARE REHEARSING Dec 11 and 18.

HOLIDAY SHOW REMINDERS
"Wouldn't it be loverly..." if by this coming
Tuesday half of our SKYLINE chorus had made the effort to get tickets??
FYI: There are only 21 of you Tenors; Jeanne Schamel could probably
handle all of you this week. She likes to be available after rehearsal,
so let her know that you want to hook up with her. I'll be around to help if
there is a wild crush. OKAY?
Therese Bickford needs to hear from all 29 Baritones, or at least
those of you who haven't already done the deed. She is typically there before
rehearsal. If you want, give her a call or e-mail to let her know what
you want. She'll work with you.
Leads and Basses have options; there will typically be someone
available both before and after rehearsals. You low singing folks
need to touch base with Sue Gilbert or Judy Peer (who is standing in for Diane
Kessel the next two weeks). Leads can see Diane Aarnaes or Gail Madison early
or Jenifer Vaughn after.
Just be mindful: these section contacts have agreed to be there
for 30 minutes on either side of rehearsal, whichever best fits their personal
schedule. It's your job to hook up with them in that time frame. Also remember,
that after this week we will not be at the Ascot for ticket business; it will
be handled at the Masonic Hall where we are trying out new things. Might be
more convenient for you to take advantage of this week.
THANKS! Linn Pickard
MUSIC: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, Sleigh Ride,
Let It Snow, Silent Night/Night of Silence, Hanukkah Medley, Jingle Bell Rock,
12 Days After Christmas, Peace Peace, The Christmas Song, and maybe 10 Feet Off
The Ground.
We will need SILENT AUCTION items and BAKE SALE goodies.

REMINDERS
"About the Cookbook: WOW! Nearly
200 recipes! Thank-you, everyone! We'll
happily take a few more especially
cookies and casseroles (no more lasagne
or chili, thank-you).
Remember:
1. You need not have a musical
connection in the recipe's title.
2. Give your recipes to Kelly Cowan,
Deanna Zerr, or Julie Bailey.
3. We are not taking orders for
cookbooks at this time (even though the
back of the recipe card has an order
form), and we will not know the price
of the cookbook until we know the size
of the cookbook.
4. It saves our committee a lot of
time if you will use the form
provided, but we will not reject any
typed, photocopied, or emailed
recipes from you." Julie Bailey
