Announcements Week of: MAY 13th, 2026
T-minus 2.5 weeks before concert!! This week’s announcements include a reminder about concert dress, a few calls for volunteers, an upcoming community gig, and next week’s sectionals. Read on to make sure you’re in the know.
Concert
CONCERT DRESS (Skot Caldwell)
- Liam has asked that we again wear our “skittles” attire: solid coloured shirts and black bottoms. (There was discussion about “Aloha” style shirts but a mass of patterns has in the past been viewed by our audience as hard to look at, and also we didn’t want to create an expectation that people had to buy shirts. Liam didn’t want inconsistency–some people in Hawaiian shirts and some in solids). If you would like to add a lei or a big festive necklace, go for it. No hats please, they create all kinds of problems. There may be a song where we don sunglasses–stay tuned.
