Fall Concert Update

Greetings Brookwood Chorus families!

Our fall in-person concert is next week!  Here are a few details/updates:

Required Afterschool Rehearsal (Test Grade)
Monday, September 27 - Starting at 2:25pm
Location:  Brookwood Theatre
After reviewing our progress from this previous week, I've determined that not everyone will have to stay for the entire length of the rehearsal.  Students are welcome to stay and watch the rest of the rehearsal quietly instead of leaving early.  All students should leave via the Maroon Gym/Theatre Lobby entrance (car riders).  Students do NOT need to wear the chorus uniform. 

2nd Period - Dismissed by approximately 3:25pm.
3rd Period - Dismissed by approximately  3:35pm.
5th Period - Dismissed by approximately  3:50pm.
4th Period - Dismissed by approximately  4pm.
Honors Chorale will rehearse until about 4:15pm.

Fall Concert (Test Grade)
Tuesday, September 28 - 6pm
​Location:  Brookwood Theatre
Students will need to report in concert uniform for warm-up by 5:15pm.  The theatre will open for audience seating by 5:50pm.  Per GCPS policy, masks are required in all GCPS facilities.

Uniforms
All students are required to wear a solid black mask as part of our uniform for the fall concert.  Find one you like and one that stays in place when you sing! 

All students are required to wear the formal chorus uniform, as per the Chorus syllabus and the uniform information guide (see previous newsletters).  Due to COVID-related supply chain shortages, our formal ware has been delayed in shipment.  While we were supposed to receive our order by September 15, our uniform company was unable to ship like normal.  As of this writing (9/23/2021), our uniform order is in route to BHS via UPS.  My goal is to have everything distributed to students during class on Monday, September 27.  While I would most certainly prefer to have everything to your student sooner, I am at the mercy of our vendor and their suppliers.  Remember - you will need to provide black dress shoes.  Read more here.  If your child enrolled in chorus late, or is concerned they did not order the proper attire, they will need to speak with me directly.  Students not in appropriate attire will not be permitted to perform.

Photographer
We are looking for a volunteer photographer to take pictures during our fall concert!  If you would be willing to help out, please email Mr. Still, and thank you!

Videographer
I provide the camera, but I need a someone to help record the concert.  The concert video lets students see how they look and sound from the audience's perspective, which helps us with future concerts.  If you can help, please email me!

Please contact me with any questions or concerns.  I am looking forward to next week!

Thank you,
Mr. Still
