[csc_newsline] The Concert Singers of Cary Choral Notes – fall singer survey

[Thom Haynes]

Hola!

We are pleased to announce that CSC has a new, larger rehearsal location,
for the fall at least. We will practice in the sanctuary at Greenwood
Forest Baptist Church, located at 110 SE Maynard Rd in Cary. This location
will enable us to spread out more than in Marcus Dry, and also hear each
other better than in the CAC theater house. We are appreciative of the
people at GFBC for making this possible.


Our plans for the fall and spring:

It is very helpful for CSC’s planning to have an approximate understanding
of who is going to be singing this season. Typically, we are able to get a
pretty close estimation based on the last year, by assuming that people who
sang last year will continue to sing unless they inform us otherwise. As
you can imagine, that doesn’t quite work this year, as several people have
sat out the last year or so because of the circumstances, but are hoping to
come back and sing. We've heard from some who are planning to return. If
you have not already done so, please let us know your plans for the season
by completing this very short survey OR by paying your $100 dues as soon as
you are able. Thank you!

Here's a repeat of what we sent you July 22:

"The CSC Board has recently voted to update the COVID safety
protocols that will apply to singers starting this fall. The most
significant change is that CSC will no longer require proof of vaccination
to participate in the choir. However, our first priority remains the health
and safety of our members, staff, volunteers, and patrons. Therefore,
protocols around masking, extra spacing, rehearsal length, and
concert/audience requirements will be assessed closer to September based on
conditions at the time. As of right now, choir members should still expect
to wear masks at rehearsal when we resume in September."





We still have 3 Lazy Daze slots with no volunteers; PLEASE consider
signing up for one!! Thanks to those who already have.


The two annual Town of Cary festivals are a way we give back to the town,
and advertise for new singers and audience members. The fall fest follows
quickly after the spring, and it is already time to recruit table-sitters
from you, our fabulous CSC members!!

LAZY DAZE 2022 is 9-5pm on both Sat Aug 27 and Sun Aug 28 in downtown Cary.
All the info:

Please consider volunteering for a slot at this signupgenius link:

It’s an easy, shady gig, you just sit and smile and talk to people walking
by and who stop at the booth. We’ll have giveaways and other materials for
you.

I need more help than normal because, they’ve extended the hours to 9-5pm
on BOTH days! :)

Thank you for considering, and I look forward to our first rehearsal on
Sept 12!!







In addition to the public CSC group, we have a private group for
current (and past) CSC singers!
