Please bring music stands, stand lights (if you've got 'em), layers for warmth in case it gets chilly, and personal water bottles. We'll provide chairs, stand clips, and sheet music. Sadly, due to permitting at OPL, this will be a dry event so we won't have beer for musicians. Make sure to join us for a pint afterward at Mad Oak (135 12th st.).

Once that has passed, expect an email from your Awesöme Ambassadors with specific info and part assignments later that week (check your spam filters if this is your first session).
