Brigade on the Range (BotR) 2026 Rally – Itinerary
Notes:
1. Headquarters is in the Regency Room, southwest corner of building
2. “Dance card” means round-robin quartet singing. Mark off your completions/ write in the name from the bank once you’ve sung a full brigadesong in a quartet. After your first completion, see registration for 2nd dance card. Brigade songs from previous years may count; however, it is strongly encouraged that you sing this year’s package to prep for the contest and public show.
3. Quartet rehearsals are shorter this year. (Rationale: there is not much distance to travel around this hotel.) Consider preparing your interpretation ideas ahead of time and being ready to bring them to the quartet rehearsals.
