Only choirs (not schools) performing within a given session have seats for that session. Tickets are available for purchase to see other sessions, however. So a Marquis member would need to buy a ticket to see Solitaire, and vice-versa.


Alright thank you.

Oh, but that's not what I am asking. So, last year our advanced mixed choir "Marquis" came at the same time with our womens group "Solitaire" around the time when womens division starts, so that we could come and support them and watch advanced womens, mens, and mixed choirs. This year, my director said she doesn't think we're allowed to come at the same time as our womens group Solitaire and are only allowed to attend Music Showcase during our advanced mixed division. So, to summarize it are all groups of one school allowed to come to Burroughs at the same time or do the womens group have to leave when the womens and mens division is over and can the advanced mixed division only come when it is the advanced mixed session?

Is it true that the Advanced Mixed groups aren't allowed to come until around our session? My director is saying that there's no room for us this year, so instead of having us come with Solitaire to support them and vice versa, she said we have to go later on... :/

Not sure if I will be. I know for a fact though that, Solitaire, our advanced womens group, will be going before us and when we come after like the mens groups and awards or whatever, they'll be leaving, so we won't come until after the first session?
