Lehigh University Glee Club

Alumni Reunion

October 31–November 1, 2003

On November 15, 2003, Robert Cutler (a.k.a. "Boss") will celebrate his 90th birthday. In recognition of his 25 years of distinguished service to the Lehigh choral tradition (1954–1979), and in celebration of his upcoming birthday, a gathering of Glee Club and Choir alumni is being held on Friday, October 31 and Saturday, November 1, 2003. We will perform a few songs, enjoy some good food and drink, and offer the Boss our gratitude for the fond musical memories we all share.

LEHIGH CHORAL ARTS CONCERT

Saturday evening, November 1

The Lehigh choral concert is not a scheduled part of our reunion, but director Steven Sametz has kindly offered complimentary tickets to reunion attendees who would like to attend the concert. Please send an e-mail message to Susan Meyers (sum5@lehigh.edu) in the Lehigh alumni office and tell her how many tickets you would like. Transportation to and from the concert will not be provided.

WHAT TO WEAR

Friday night rehearsal – casual attire.

Saturday morning rehearsal and thereafter – "concert" attire.

The clothes you wear on Saturday morning will be the clothes you'll be wearing all day. There won't be any place to change clothes.

What is concert attire? Navy blue blazer and gray slacks (if you have them), white shirt, striped tie, and respectable shoes. Otherwise, do the best you can – dark suit or jacket if possible. Try to find the old red-and-navy-striped Glee Club tie, or get one like it -- or come as close as possible. Ladies – dark skirt and white blouse.
