Dear BV Families,

We had a wonderful rehearsal yesterday. The girls should be practicing their music at home, since we have a performance on December 5 at the Capitol.

Please read these five important notes:

1. Upcoming performances:
   • December 5 Christmas at the Capitol: Please refer to the detail sheet. You will also need to print off the parking pass so that you have access to parking in front of the Capitol.
   • December 16-19: Angels Sing: Our biggest series of rehearsals and performances all year, including our TV taping. Please read the detail sheets carefully and plan ahead.
     • December 16 Dress Rehearsal Detail Sheet
     • December 17 TV Taping Detail Sheet
     • December 18 Angels Sing Detail Sheet
     • December 19 Angels Sing Detail Sheet
   • May 22: High School Division final concert and graduation at Indy: May is a while away, but this concert is not part of the official concert season, so please plan ahead. A detail sheet is forthcoming. This important day is both a BV/IYC performance and an opportunity to honor our 12 BV seniors (and our Austrian exchange student, who will be moving back to Austria at the end of the year).
2. Tour: Chaperones, please turn in those applications as soon as possible! Remember to renew or apply for your passports now to avoid the backlog of the new year.
3. Auditions: For those interested in auditioning for our many BV solos, your final opportunity is this Sunday, November 29 during rehearsal break.
4. Our next extended rehearsal opportunity will be on December 6 from 4:40 to 5:30. Please plan to attend if at all possible: you will receive a make up credit as well as more rehearsal time on all our tutti pieces.
5. Rehearsal Absences: It is always best to fill out an approved absence form in advance. If this is not possible, please make certain you contact Michelle Jarvis BEFORE the missed rehearsal.

I am so very grateful to lead all of these remarkable young women, and I hope you all have a happy, healthy Thanksgiving.

Amy Hughley
