From Ulysses James:
12:30 PM Setup. First Violin Section is designated to assist.
Craig Teer will be setting up risers at the same time. The “work crew” will be able to get the stands and chairs on the “stage” but avoid obstructing Craig’s efforts. When he is finished, everything can be put in place.
FOR ALL, BE CAREFUL NOT TO MARR THE NEW FLOOR. CELLOS AND BASSES BRING NON MARKING ROCKSTOPS/END PIN HOLDERS. DO NOT DRAG CHAIRS OR EQUIPMENT.
1:30 PM WMP Rehearsal – special emphasis on sound check with Charles Williams
2:00 PM Chorus Rehearsal
3:00 PM Concert
Parking – is very limited. The lot next to the Church will have cones in it which restrict use of space. It may be possible for about two vehicles to park there in which case it should be Recording Engineer John Reiser, and the U-Haul cargo van with large instruments. Those who have to unload will be able to do so but will have to do it expeditiously so that there are no unnecesary delays.
Parking will be available in the PMI Garage next door and vouchers will be available at the front of house.
Steve Bertino will be giving a pre-concert lecture in the Parish Hall from 2:15 to 2:45 PM. Please place your cases in the sanctuary transepts until 2:45 PM. When he is finished, bring them into the Parish Hall.
If you have guests coming please tell them that the only bathroom facilities will be on the second floor via steps. While the sanctuary renovation is complete, the rest of the Church is in the process of being restored.
The Marine Corp Marathon will take place on Sunday. The race starts at 7:45 PM and will be finished before the concert. The last, very slow runners should be finished no later than 2 PM. However there may still be road obstructions. Here is a link to the race map:

The dancers will not be performing with us today. There should be ample room for all.
My best, see you Sunday,
Ul
