From Doc:

1) It's a great feeling as Show Chairman to know that with two chapter meeting/rehearsals and a tech rehearsal remaining on the schedule, every Commodore has his words and notes thoroughly engrained and coordinated with his "A" face and his faultless choreography.  Otherwise how could I be sleeping like a baby these past several nights without a worry in the world?  Everyone should take the opportunity to be in this position and to be able to recognize the extra effort that each performer puts forth to ensure a successful production.  If there should be the occasional spot, however, where you are uncertain of a word or note or move, take a little of the time remaining and smooth out the rough edges.  Why not be as perfect as you can be?

2) Chord-Inator deadline is Friday, March 27.  I know most of you will have wonderful stories to report.  Don't be late.  

3) Be prepared for an announcement about a first-half dress rehearsal.

From Carl:

Unsold tickets for the show are due TONIGHT.  (I will still have the tickets through the weekend so keep selling and call me.  I'll pull the tickets before they are returned to Bethel and bring them next week.)

Turn in the yellow sheet with the names of who are sitting with in each seat.  (This is a Bethel requirement.)  I need time to get all the names on the spread sheet.  (A very time consuming project.)  Thanks for helping us meet the requirements set down by Bethel.

Diana and Carl
