Region 11 Competition News!

CHAMPION CHORUS and QUARTET PHOTOS
For 2009, Lilley Photography will switch the regular photo order for the "trophy" photo order at the request of the winning chorus and quartet, if you will tell Wyeth Lilley at the time the "trophy" photo is taken. That is if you don't want BOTH photo orders.
GUEST AETs VS. AUDIENCE PASS
Remember, if you have guests who wish to sit with your chorus or quartet, they will need to purchase an All-Events Tickets with your chorus. The Audience Pass tickets will entitle the person holding that ticket to a seat in a separate, designated area of the auditorium.
WARM-UP ROOMS IN THE CONVENTION CENTER
The Convention Center is remodeling the lobby area and we will not be able to use one of the usual warm-up rooms for the chorus contest. As you enter the lobby, both chorus warm-up rooms will be on the left ... the Truxton Room (accessed through the hallway leading to the hotel) and the Potato Room (accessed through the lobby staying to the left as usual). The only restrooms available to those choruses using the Truxton Room will be the lobby restroom.
NO BUSES ON FRIDAY
We will not have an audience bus available on Friday for the quartet contest, so you will need to carpool as much as possible. Transportation will be provided for the Top 5 quartets from the auditorium back to the DoubleTree.
CHORUS and QUARTET DVDs
We are holding the line on prices for the DVDs and CDs for 2009 - $30 for the original DVD, extra copies at $15 and extra copies of CDs at $10. REMEMBER ... taking these back to your chorus or quartet and making copies is an infringement of the copyright. In order to defray the ever-increasing costs of Regional contests, please purchase copies legally by placing your order with your chorus or quartet.
CHORUS AND QUARTET BRIEFINGS -
BOTH ON THURSDAY!
The Chorus Briefing will be held on Thursday at 7:00 PM at the DoubleTree, followed by the Quartet Briefing at 7:30 PM, so those involved in both will not miss one or the other briefing. Please plan to be there on Thursday (and reserve a hotel room) so you will not miss this important event.
MIC TESTING CHORUS
You are invited to be part of the mic testing chorus on Friday at 10:00 AM. Be at the Convention Center by 9:45 AM and take a seat until invited up on stage. We usually sing a Star song or two!
