Chorus Meals and Rehearsals Form

    ​In an attempt to streamline information gathering and cut down on duplicate emails, your convention team is now collecting extra rehearsals and meal information via the form on this webpage (previously, this was formerly part of the regional registration form, but has been moved to its own page this year). ONLY THE PRESIDENT / TEAM LEADER / CHORUS CONVENTION CHAIR SHOULD COMPLETE THIS FORM, which will provide us details about your chapter's needs. 

    Melody Turner is the Housing Liaison for the 2019 Regional Contest, and is your contact before and during contest for extra rehearsals, your Saturday morning rehearsal, and the optional Saturday meal. THERE ARE CHANGES TO THIS PROCEDURE FROM LAST YEAR, so please review the content below.

    1. On the webform below, indicate your chorus' preferences for any extra rehearsal, your Saturday rehearsal, and an optional Saturday meal.

    2. The Order of Appearance will be drawn on February 11, 2019.  After this date, Melody will begin the process of slotting times for rehearsals and meals (if indicated). Shortly thereafter, you will be notified of your scheduled times and locations. In most cases, locations will be based on where the majority of the chorus is staying. Choruses will have 45 minutes for rehearsal and 45 minutes for a meal on Saturday, with approximately 15 minutes between each.

    3. PLEASE NOTE:  For choruses choosing to have a Saturday meal (you can have a breakfast or lunch, depending on your draw), you are responsible for DIRECTLY contacting and making those arrangements and payments with the DoubleTree Hotel or The Centennial Hotel. You may call as soon as you wish--and no later than DATE GOES HERE--to make your meal arrangements; contact information is below.

    If you have any questions, please contact Melody Turner at mrandmrst1956@gmail.com / 360-572-4440.

    Rehearsals
    Extra Chorus Rehearsals
    Every chorus is allowed ONE extra rehearsal outside of the 45-minute rehearsal allotted on contest morning. Please indicate your preference to the right.

       •  Available extra rehearsal times are Thursday or Friday; no rehearsals are scheduled during regional events. Rehearsal rooms are typically located in your hotel and DO NOT have risers.
       •  Extra rehearsal times are assigned based on first come, first served basis.
       •  The length of the rehearsal time will be in proportion to the number of choruses requesting rehearsals at that time.
       •  You will receive notification identifying time and location for the rehearsal approximately 2 weeks in advance.
       •  Please be prompt for arrival and departure. If you arrive late, you must still leave at your scheduled time so the next chorus can enter the room.
    Saturday Morning Rehearsals
       •  Every chorus is allowed a 45-minute rehearsal on contest morning. Some choruses choose to tag a breakfast or lunch onto their rehearsal time.
       •  All choruses will be given a 45-minute rehearsal on Saturday morning, scheduled in order of appearance.  
       •  Choruses can also book (and pay for) a 45-minute meal held back-to-back with the rehearsal.  
       •  ​Please indicate at right which option your chorus prefers on Saturday.
