Student Night at Dress Rehearsal

At the start of the rehearsal, Music Director Julia Tai introduces herself and speaks with the students about the purpose and function of a dress rehearsal so that students know what to expect.  Later, during the mid-rehearsal break, Ms. Tai greets students personally and answers questions. The 2022-23 Student Night @Dress Rehearsal series is sponsored by the Bill and Rosemary Gallagher Foundation.
