Greetings Brookwood Chorus families! Here are the details you need to know as we approach our first concert this year! Also - thanks to all who came out to the tailgate in August – and a big thank you to all who donated and volunteered! Fall Concert – Required/Test Grade Date: September 26, 2023 Location: Brookwood Theatre Performance Time: 6pm; seating opens for the audience by 5:50pm. Call Time for students: Students will need to report in concert uniform for warm-up by 5:15pm. Cell phone usage is strictly prohibited during the concert. Looking for: A photographer to take pictures during the concert (stage light environment) and after the concert (year book pictures). Email me ASAP if you can help or know someone who can! Fall Dress Rehearsal – Required/Test Grade Date: September 25, 2023 Location: Brookwood Theatre Time: 2:25pm-5pm. The vast majority of students will *not* need to stay for the entire rehearsal time. Approximately one week prior to the rehearsal, I will send out a schedule based on the progress we make in class over the next couple of weeks. 2nd period students will more than likely be released prior to 4pm; 3rd period students released prior to 4:20pm; 4th & 5th period students will be released prior to 4:30pm. Chorale students will be released last. Stay tuned for a more exact schedule. Cell phone usage is strictly prohibited during all rehearsals. Students do not need to wear formal concert attire for the dress rehearsal. Uniform Update If your child ordered uniform pieces, they were distributed in class on Thursday, September 8. Try the uniform on this weekend! If you need to make an exchange, bring back the piece that needs to be returned in pristine condition, & in the original packaging. You will need to bring a note with the student's name, purchaser's name, and what size you need in exchange. Bring exchange items to class on Monday, September 11, 2023. Sorry, no late exchanges. Do you still need to order something? Click here. I would order this weekend so that it hopefully makes it to you before the concert. Don’t know what you’re supposed to wear?

Tennis shoes, sneakers, boots, flip flops, sandals, etc. are NOT appropriate for formal concert attire. Are you a part of BPAB? Are you a member of the Brookwood Performing Arts Boosters?
