Alumni who plan to participate must notify the UD Department of Music by Wednesday, Oct. 25, so that music can be ordered. The alumni choir will meet at 2 p.m., Nov. 11, in 118 Amy E. Dupont Music Building to rehearse a few of the UD Chorale's greatest hits and will rehearse with current members of the chorale at 4 p.m. Afterwards, there will be an optional preconcert dinner at the Blue & Gold Club.
