Information packets for the 2011 "An American Salute" trip (June 27 - July 5) are available from Becky.
Here's the Williamsburg checklist:
- Folder with music in concert order - Angel's Carol, Star of Glory, Gloria, Star Carol, This Little Babe, Marvellous Birth, Masters, Jesu, Sleep.
- Tuxedo or black outfit, black shoes, hose, socks
- No necklaces, pins or dangly earrings
- Valuables in car trunk
- Park diagonally on Duke of Gloucester St. at the church location. To reach Bruton Parish, you may turn left on the street right behind Barnes & Noble parking lot (which faces onto Duke of G. Street). The church is in the restored area on the left side about 1 1/2 - 2 blocks down.
- Arrive at the church in concert attire or allow 15 minutes to go to the church basement and change (if you need to change, be at the church by 5:30). Be ready to sing at 5:45 PM. Since their organist is accompanying us, we want to honor her time. We'll break by 7:15 PM.
- If you're staying at the Lord Paget, Google directions that will take you directly there. It cuts off several minutes if you have these directions.
- To reach the Seasons restaurant for our post-concert meal, go back to the Barnes & Noble and turn left. The restaurant will be on the right corner after 1 long block.
- Be safe going and coming!
For Saturday Concert:
- Arrive at 4 PM. We'll practice in the sanctuary with instrumentalists (2 new ones) until just before 5 PM and then recess to the Chapel.
- All except Grace UMC singers park in school lot. Grace singers can park on upper church lot near Stonewall Road to make a quick escape after the concert.
- Valuables in trunk or under your seat.
