If you haven't gotten your letter out yet, please add your voice to the growing number of chorus members who are writing to the ASO Board and WAC.

Visit Keith Langston's post which includes a good template for writing to your colleagues and professional organizations.  The repercussions in the music community will be profound if we lose our orchestra.

Most of all, consult your own feelings.  A reliable source tells us that the CEO of WAC, Virginia Hepner doesn't attend ASO concerts.   How does that make you feel?   At this crucial time, it's important that you place your personal anger and disappointment in front of the ASO Board and WAC.

Allison has taken her gloves off ... so has this person:  http://www.atlsymphonymusicians.com/1/post/2012/09/letter-for-our-symphony.html

When the ASO Board and WAC consider the ASO's future -- and ASOC's future by extension -- the opinions of this chorus, which they purport to 'cherish' so much, should be ringing in their ears.
