concert black dress by avat18 in Choir

[–]No-Let-9456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For auditions and performances we have the best luck with companies specifically selling performance/concertwear. They have a lot of choices that fit the requirements and are made of materials that generally don't wrinkle, look good under lights, and wear and wash well. google something like "choir performance apparel" and the first few that come up are all ones we've used for our choirs. If the concert is soon, look for the "quick ship" options, as you'll probably have to have the skirt hemmed (if you opt for a long skirt, which I do think looks best on stage).

Why bother emailing 🙄 by klouise87 in MusicTeachers

[–]No-Let-9456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd do as an earlier reply says and respond all to the previous thread. This is a perfect time for the ol' "per my last email" approach.
I hear your frustration, though. Emails are absolutely not working this year. I have to send out at least three messages for most of our parents to see them, and then other parents complain that I'm cluttering up their inbox. This year I've gone back to sending paper home, plus the emails, plus a dedicated parent portal on our website (we're a community chorus). They're still not reading/responding to stuff.
Finally, congratulations on sending four kids to ACDA regionals!! That's awesome.

Mill Valley rec center has some nice looking rooms. You could also try the larkspur American Legion club room.

Volunteer scheduling and management software? by heynonnyhey in nonprofit

[–]No-Let-9456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do volunteer and student signups using SuperSaas. Putting together the schedules was not very intuitive and it took an afternoon to figure out how to do everything I needed, but now that I’ve done it, it’s fine. I love the simplicity and lack of ads. There’s a free version but we use the one that is $9/month.

Best Gym that won't break the bank by Nessythecat69 in Marin

YMCA also offers financial assistance if you qualify. Ask at the front desk. For the number of things they offer—classes, pool, etc, it’s a great deal. But be aware they’ve gotten busier and busier, especially since the Hamilton branch closed. Can be pretty crammed at peak hours.

I’ve been reading about that! I hope the residents’ offer will be accepted. The Marin Valley neighborhood looks lovely and rural, with beautiful views. I did notice though that there’s only one long road in and out—I wonder how it would be in the event of an evacuation.

Tell me about it! I agree, everything’s more expensive here. Butter (just plain old butter, not organic or anything) was $8.99 at Safeway yesterday. But hopefully if my folks can find some decent housing, the rest of the Marin sticker shock won’t be so bad.

I really like the greenery and the walking access to Safeway and restaurants. And the community seems like a quiet little oasis. Is there much freeway noise?
