Only The Important Stuff
- The withdrawal deadline has passed. If you must withdraw, you may still use the withdrawal form but will still be responsible for your hotel balance.
- The Housing Form is available - Everyone Needs To Fill It Out. (Deadline Sunday, August 25, 2019).
- This form covers room preferences, special meal or medical needs, and so forth.
- You can use our new "shop" to purchase extra meals for guests, single rooms, etcetera.
- If you need Rides To The Rally or Rides Home From The Rally, please fill out these forms.
- Run-throughs are a near-constant thing - get to one if you can.
- The deadline for members to submit motions for the members meeting is August 29, 2019. Please send them to me only. I am happy to talk off-list about motions, their crafting, and the legal requirements.
- Sign up for singouts on Friday morning.
Coming Soon
- The form for purchasing tickets
- The final schedule will be available soon
- Information on Sing With The Judges
- Information on becoming a member will be sent to eligible candidates soon.
Fun Stuff - Become a Tramp/SuperTramp
One of the possible activities during the rally, is to fill out your "dance card", which lists every attendee at the rally. If you fill out your dance card for all 3 other parts, you are eligible for a a "Tramp" award/badge.
If you know more than one part, and sing with EVERYONE - you get the coveted SuperTramp badge.
But there is a basic etiquette to the pursuit of these awards - people come to sing with you, and may enjoy their first song with you so much, they will want a second. Please be careful not to make your pursuit of these badges too high a priority. The memories of friendships made through singing far outweigh the badge itself.
Hotel's Alcohol Policy
We cannot emphasize this enough - the hotel will not permit alcohol purchased outside the hotel in the common spaces (hallways, conference rooms). Alcohol consumed in the public spaces MUST be purchased from the hotel. You may consume alcohol you have purchased elsewhere only in your room.
Yes: this is a way hotels make money, and that is part of it. But also, it is a condition of their license to sell alcohol. If attendees violate the alcohol policy, it might not be the hotel that comes down on you, it might be local regulators.
We could lose access to the hotel in the future, if we violate the alcohol policy. Regulators take it seriously, the hotel takes it seriously, we take it seriously. Please don't violate the policy.
