Hi Michael and everyone else in Pionetland. I'll try to "fill in the blanks" as best as I can with your questions.

Michael writes, "the FAQ page says, 'Brigade Rally attendance is by invitation only. A Brigade Member who knows both your quartetting ability and your preparation capacity may nominate you to be a guest.' And yet the home page provides a link to a form to apply. I'm confused why there's a 'sign-up form' for an invitation only event and if I'm even eligible to participate since I have minimal quartet experience, having mostly sung only with our chorus."

I can certainly understand the confusion on this one. For the brigades that are already up and running, this is absolutely true...you must be invited by a member in order to attend; however, since this will be our inaugural event, there would be no way to be invited by a member...we have none yet :) For the inaugural event, we will have an application which ANYONE can submit in order to be considered for invitation.

I hope this helps...if anyone has more questions please contact... bbsmike@comcast.net
