Rehearsal Sunday January 23 Hi, everyone, and happy blizzard again. PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE EMAIL! We will be having our sixth Space Opera rehearsal THIS SUNDAY, January 23, from 12:30 to 6:30, at the Deborah Mason School of Dance. Please check the end of this email for when within that time window your rehearsals are. I'll post a graphical representation on the web site. 1. PUNCTUALITY We had a few rehearsals last week which got off to a slow start because people filtered in late. This is a bad thing, and I think everyone knows it. Our rehearsal time is quite limited, especially given how ambitious this opera is. Please aim to arrive ten minutes before the nominal start of the rehearsal so we are ready to go right on time. Or you will be separated. 2. PIZZA CLEAN-UP SIGNUP We are all set for this Sunday! Thank you! If you want to sign up for clean-up for a future week, go to: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/pizza34 and sign up for one of the available slots. If you sign up with an email address, you will automatically get a reminder email two days before the rehearsal. Thanks! 3. "ABSENT" EMAIL ADDRESS A reminder that if you are unavailable for any part of any rehearsal, within the time window of 12:30 to 6:30, or if you have any other sort of schedule conflict, please send email with the details as soon as you know them to: ================ SO-2011-absent@FamilyOpera.org ================ I always check to see who is and who is not coming, and at what times, when I plan rehearsals, so that we can maximize attendance. 4. PRACTICE MP3s I know I owe you guys some more MP3s on the web site cast page. After I post more things, I'll send out another email detailing the additions. Remember, to access the Cast Page: a. Go to www.FamilyOpera.org b. In the left-hand pane of the site, there is a space for User Login. Log in using: ============ Username: ncfo-cast Password: SO-2011 ============ NOTE: The "S" and "O" in the password must be uppercase. c. After you log in, there will be an additional item visible at the bottom of the Content Menu (at the top of the left-hand pane of the site), called "Performer Materials - Space Opera 2011". Clicking on this will take you to the Cast Page. 5.
