HOLIDAYS WITH CANTABILE CONCERT REMINDER
Saturday, December 2nd
Call time: 5:00 PM – this has been moved up a half hour
Concert time: 7:30
Location: Cathedral Basilica of San Jose, 80 South Market St, San Jose
MANDATORY DRESS REHEARSAL:

Wednesday, November 29th, 4:45-9:00 pm

Elena has requested that parents drop their singers off for the dress rehearsal in front of the Basilica. We will have chaperones to show students where our warm up space is.

We thank you for your understanding!
