In-person rehearsals in 2021!
Barring inclement weather, until further notice, rehearsals will be held in the Palatine Gateway Center Parking Garage, giving us great sound and the comfort of open-air singing! The entrance to the garage is located on Colfax Street just west of Smith Street. (See map below.) The rehearsal time is 6:30 to 8:30. (We will also Zoom for those that cannot get to the garage.)
Go to the SOUTHEAST corner on the third level. Look for Jerry Reed's brown Rav4; he plans to be there by about 6:00.
Remember:
Finally, until further notice, be sure to check the website every Sunday to determine where we'll be rehearsing Monday. (Once the weather stabilizes, we'll meet at the garage every Monday.)
