Rehearsals
We are very aware of the demands on your time during the Christmas season and have made the decision to keep rehearsals to a minimum.   Once we have finalized the repertoire, we will post rehearsal tracks at southhighsings.blogspot.com.  Helen Moody Petersen will also make rehearsal CD’s available upon request.  This will allow you to become familiar with the music on your own time and at your convenience.  All we ask is that you be ready to polish the music at the first rehearsal.

Dress
This concert has obviously been on my mind, even on my subconscious mind.  A few nights ago I had a dream that I was trying to get a consensus on the fabric for the A cappella dresses and we were leaning towards a lovely shade of apple green!  No, we are not going to resurrect some of the beauties that we wore way back when (mine was a lovely brown knit qiana), but we would like you to peruse your closet for the following:
Women:  Jewel tone, long sleeve top with black skirt/pants
Men:  Long sleeve pastel shirt, no jacket, traditional tie, dark pants

Children’s/Grandchildren’s Alumni Choir
We hope that you will invite your children and grandchildren to participate in this concert by being a member of the audience and perhaps singing in a children’s/grandchildren’s choir which is being organized by the daughter of a South High Alum and music major at the University of Utah.  We will provide details as they are finalized.

We’ll keep you posted!  Thanks again for your support!
