Everyone should arrive 30 minutes prior (12:00), except flag bearers who will rehearse at 12:00 and should arrive at 11:30
Everyone can park under the conference center and the piano students and teachers will enter at doors 5 and 6. Parents can also drop students off at the curb and students can enter at door 5 & 6. We will have volunteers stationed at the curb and at door 5 & 6 to help direct students who may be dropped off.
Accompanists: If your group is accompanying any of the All-Instrument Numbers, please make sure that they can attend this rehearsal. This is one of two chances that they will have to rehearse with the orchestra.
Sept 15 and 16: Individual Group Rehearsals
All five piano groups who requested a rehearsal spot have a time reserved to rehearse in the Little Theater.
You can park under the conference center. Please enter through door 1,2, and 3.
Arrive in the Theater 30 minutes before your scheduled practice time. Allow plenty of time for traffic, plus parking and re-entering the bldg.
The 30 minutes early arrival is important. During this time you will be given instructions on where to sit, how to walk on stage, and how to bow. You will also be asked to stay after your rehearsal for a brief singing rehearsal. Probably ten minutes. Fifteen at the most.
This rehearsal time is for getting a feel for the theater and the new pianos. You will not have extensive time for fixing problems, so please take care of details before this rehearsal.
Here is the schedule of rehearsal times:
