To insure a smooth operation, have your music neatly arrangedin a three-ring binder and ready to go the day of your assigned coaching/performance.Please do not use plastic sheet protectors, as I will mark your music as we work throughit. Be sure that your copy has all of the notes (double check those low bass-clef notesin the piano part!) and is clearly legible. If you are unable to sing on your assigned day,advance notice is required. Please plan ahead!
