Please note the following on April 4:

8) Light snacks (muffins made by Sandra and sandwiches by Maisie) will be provided. Apollo would rather we keep our stomach relatively empty before singing!

9) Dinner after concert - All are welcome (friends and relatives inclusive) to dinner at Chiu Chow Garden at basement of Jardine House, @$80 per head ($40 for full-time student singing this time, sponsored by the Three Aunties). If you haven't signed up, please do so.

10) House programme - Please refrain from getting any copies of the house programme until after the concert. We only printed enough for the audience. We don't want to print extra copies for choir and orchestra members in order to save trees and money. We will, however, collect copies from the audience at the exit after the concert. There should be more than enough to share among all members at that point.

Cheers,

Maisie
