Rules
and Procedures
Please
note this information:
The
following dress code for the performance of the All-West Tennessee Choruses shall be:
- Women:
Ankle length black dress with a sleeve, or an ankle
length black skirt with a black top of similar or complementary
fabric, black shoes no more than 2 inches in height,
optional modest jewelry such as a single strand of
pearls or a drop-pearl pearl or single stone on a delicate
chain. No long dangling earrings or heavy choke necklaces. There
shall be no visible cleavage.
- Men:
White tux shirt or white long-sleeve button-down shirt
with black bow tie, black tux pants or black dress
slacks, black dress shoes and black socks. No jackets,
and no tennis shoes.
MEMORIZATION:
Students
should arrive Thursday night with every single note of
every
single piece learned to the point of memory. Rehearsals
are not for learning notes. Rehearsals
are
for creating music, working languages, shaping phrases,
etc. There is
a magical change that happens when the physical music
goes away and the real music making begins. However,
all participating students MUST have a copy of every
piece
for rehearsals.
Pencils will be provided for them. Yes,
students will be moving away from the music as
soon as possible - but they still must have the music
there as a reference and so forth.
