Ma nistax naħseb f'xi ħaġa umoristiċi,

HOUSEKEEPING


The Practice Files page has new links for the recent SA ‘SPOT’ (thks
Debbie Carroll!) and TB ‘OWL’ songs. I’ve added Fancies practice sound
files and two markings files too:

The price for this spring’s Shakespeare music is $20. Please pay at
the link below via Paypal or credit card, or by check (payable to
‘CSC’) or cash to Thom at rehearsal. If necessary you can also mail a
check to Laura Moore, 614 Morgan Creek Rd, Chapel Hill, NC 27517.

Our spring group Formal Fashions concert attire order - you can familiarize
yourself with our standard wardrobe here:

https://concertsingers.org/members/other-guidelines



Here is the Formal Fashions web site:

https://formalfashionsinc.com/



You are welcome to order on your own, but if you want to save money on
shipping/handling, we put together a group order. Plus, the sizing on
women’s clothing is a bit tricky. Terri Ring (our Alto section leader) has
helped fellow singers with this for years, she says “tops ($31) run small &
skirts ($28) run large”. Cost for both together is about $59 plus
tax/S&H/extra charge for very large items.



Here is a form you can fill out to join the group order and get help from
Terri, if needed. You can also email her directly for advice:
tlaring at gmail.com

https://forms.gle/6V5KKcm9K6MUGi8x6

Deadline to fill out the form: Wed Mar 16. Let Thom know if you are
having trouble filling out this (or any CSC) form.



Men, if you need any tuxedo separates or accessories, you might find what
you need as well at Formal Fashions, and are welcome to order from there
too, just fill out the form.



FF also sells singers’ masks.

It’s been 3 years since the Town of Cary held the annual outdoor Spring
Daze festival in Bond Park! This year it is on Apr 30, 9-5pm. CSC has a
table in the Cultural Arts row, and we need 8 intrepid singers to volunteer
2 hours each, to sit in pairs at our table (in the shade) and ‘talk up’ CSC
to passers-by. “Hello, do you sing?! Then JOIN US! No? Do you like to
listen to beautiful music? Then COME HEAR US SING! Our spring concert is in
10 days!”. We’ll have handout fliers for you to give people, also souvenir
CDs and old programs (season playbills). To sign up please go here:

important activity; organizing CSC photos and graphics. Please look
here for a description of the need, and let her know if you are
interested!
