A few final reminders!

All-Region Afterglow – Saturday, April 1st

Please pre-register your guests who will be attending the Afterglow by end of business day Monday, March 27^th and e-transfer the $20 admission fee to fc@saregion16.com. We need to provide final numbers to the hotel on Tuesday morning. Once a guest’s payment is received, their name will be added to a list ( there are no tickets). Please have your guests stop at the table when entering the Royal Henley Ballroom and a volunteer will check the list and let them in. 

Webcast Registration

Registration closes end of business day on Wednesday, March 29^th so there is still time! Spread the word to your biggest fans!

All chorus CCLs have provided us with a list of members in good standing unable to attend contest. As our regional assessment covers registration for convention, those not attending are entitled to a complimentary webcast registration. Please DO NOT register again or send an e-transfer. You are covered! Links have been sent already. Should your circumstance change and you find yourself unable to attend, please advise your CCL who in turn will advise us and we’ll take care of things.

Again, any questions, please email JD at jdcrowe8687@gmail.com
