Please note that the children will be singing the first 3 songs and the fourth one if time permits.

It is important that children assemble at 12:15 PM and be ready to start at very short notice any time after 12:30 PM.

In order that CTU can better communicate additional information, interested children or their families are requested to send a mail to usk {AT} tyagaraja-chicago {DOT} org.

Please note that you need to send this mail even if you have already registered for the CTU 2009 USK performance  during the Memorial Day weekend.
