Please figure out your rooming arrangements and make your hotel reservations by September 9 at the Hilton Garden Inn, Indianapolis Airport, 317-856-9100. Ask for the Barbershop Harmony Group block.
KVU has been asked to sing on the Saturday night show! Please plan accordingly.
As of July 2016, All Official Members Must Obtain the NEW Uniform
Current members, and anyone who has recently passed the audition, will need to purchase the required suit and obtain other uniform needs.
When you have purchased/obtained these items please let VIC LOVEJOY know. The suit is the only thing that is required to be purchased new and you already have directions for that. Everything else can be something you've used before as long as it is in good shape. You can inform myself or Bob also when you get these things, but we will forward it on to Vic to track. We will use this for the Swope show and other gigs also.
Here are the KVU Class A uniform details - as of July 2016…

Directions for purchasing the suit from men's warehouse
All chorus members must purchase the suit and obtain all items to bring with them to the August 26-27 retreat. This suit will be worn for the fall contest, the Swope show, and the Holiday show, and is not the same as any suit we've worn in the past.
If any questions arise, have them contact Bill Munn at (814) 404-8228 or Michael O'Brien at (502) 773-9322
*Members should go to the nearest Men's Wearhouse:
2. Give them the Perfect Fit ID# 229273954
3. You’ll be purchasing a jacket and pants.
4. When getting fitted with pants, be sure to get the Medium break, and the permanent crease
5. When checking out, provide Tax Exemption information as needed from this picture:

2. Give them the Perfect Fit ID# 229273954
- They will look up a suit associated with this ID# (it’s ablack suit)
3. You’ll be purchasing a jacket and pants.
- Pants are un-hemmed, so you will need to go ahead and have them tailored by Men's Wearhouse.
- Jackets likely won’t need much tailoring unless desired. It is a $600 suit. They are giving us a deeply discounted price, in addition to KVU being tax-exempt, so the jacket will be $130 and the pants $40 for a total of $170. Tailoring for the pants is $12--additional cost for jacket as needed.
- It should be a total of around $182, unless jacket alterations are needed. Bigger/Taller sizes will run approx. $25 more.

Each day will be split in two halves morning - SIDHY 10:00 am - 1:00 pm and afternoon - EBYT 2:00 - 5:00 pm
These are specifically for new and returning guys - so you will get one on one training.
I need to know which of these dates you will attend.
You have some options:
1. Attend one full Saturday and get both songs done that day
2. Attend half one day and half another (separate halves morning one and afternoon the other) - to get work on both songs.
3. Attend everything :)
Please decide which date/times you will attend and reply to Aaron at aaronkdale@gmail.com
I need to know no later than August 5th.
