Dressing/Warm-up Room: The Jubil-Aires will use room 118, and
Bella Nova will use room 117. Our featured quartets, Throwback and Epic will use
dressing rooms located "stage left" back stage.
Parking:
The link above is a Google map view of the Lanier Middle School. On Friday for the Tech
Rehearsal we can park in the main parking lot in front (South) of the school, but on Saturday PLEASE leave the main parking lot
open for our patrons and park in the "faculty" parking lot to the North of
the school. Traveling north on Jermantown Rd from US-50 use the 2nd entrance (marked Buses Only) to enter
the faculty parking lot behind the school. See next note for where to enter school
building. Where to enter the school building:
The doors are number all around the campus, so remember these two (#10, and # 6). On Friday we can all use the main
entrance to the Auditorium (Theater) - door #10). Note door #1 is the entrance to the
school office and NOT the theater. HOWEVER - ALL DAY SATURDAY the Jubil-Aires and Bella Nova will use door # 6 to enter the
school. THEREFORE, PLEASE use the back "faculty" parking lot North of the school and
enter through door # 6. There will be signs in the hallways to guide you to the Jubil-Aire and Bella Nova dressing/warm-up rooms
(118, and 117 respectively). Where to eat your between-show meal:
We are not hosting a "mid-show-meal' in the cafeteria. A list of restaurants with their addresses that are close to Lanier Middle
School will be available at the Tech Rehearsal and show.
Afterglow to follow 7 PM show: American Legion Hall at 3939 Oak Street,
Fairfax VA, 22030. Buy your tickets by 16
April since no tickets will be sold at the door.
Retro at
Four Seasons Salon
-Art Medici-
On Wednesday, Retro entertained at the Four Seasons Salon in Dulles Town Center.
And not for the first time. Featured were ladies’ fashions modeled by woman of all ages and sizes. The young woman on the left
is a high school sophomore whose family is friends of Dave Whitney. Pat didn’t have
time to identify the others. We were invited back – someday.

We’re in the Money!!
President Randy Moller announced last week that the Jubil-Aires had
received a check from the Harmony foundation in the amount of $668 as
designated donations from our membership. Nice job, Jubil-Aires.
That’s about 3 performances without all that hassle!
OK, despite the two week run and the
hint given below:
Name the guy with the curly hair...
(at the mic)
Hint: He went by Rusty TheGeek only Ron Obermeyer correctly
identified the goofy guy as:
Richard Lewellen!
