Lunch/Snack

Westminster Choir and Special Guest Artist Performance

Group Sing of The Lord Bless You and Keep You by Lutkin (PDF) 
Please prepare your students to perform this piece with the Rider community who will be in attendance at the end of your day.

Please bring at least 3 sets of the original copies of your repertoire with you. These are for the judges and will be returned to you at the end of the session.

While it isn’t necessary to come in formal performance attire, most ensembles choose to wear their formal attire for the invitational. Most schools, depending on their distance from the event, arrive at the invitational in their performance attire. Some will change upon arrival or change before they return to campus. Please let us know if you would like to change before you officially arrive and we can direct you to the best bathrooms and changing areas.
