Print options for scores

If you are singing with the NBSO Chorus this fall, you should have received three scores in your inbox, sent in three separate emails:

• Messiah: Amen
• Bach: 1st movement
• Bach: 3nd movement

(Note: the 2nd movement of the Bach is for soloists; no copy is being sent.)

Scores will not be provided at rehearsal. If you are unable to print the scores at home or on your boss's dime, the next best option is to have Staples print them. Staples can either send them to you (before Sunday if you act fast), or you can pick them up at a Staples location of your choice.

How to get your scores to Staples:

• Option 1: Save them to a USB memory stick and bring it to Staples for them to print. Obviously, this only works if you have a USB memory stick and the knowhow.
• Option 2: 

1. Download the files from your email to your desktop.
2. Go to the Staples Copy & Print website (Click here.)
3. In the upper left hand corner, click "upload your file."
4. You will then be prompted to login or create ("register") an account.
5. Once you've logged in/created an account, click "copy and print services" in the left column.
6. Next screen: choose "begin" for black and white copies
7. (You might be prompted to run a Java application. If so, choose "run.")
8. Choose standard B&W, unless you want to get fancy.
9. Using the "add files" box in the next screen, add each of your downloaded files. Remember: there are three.
10. Choose options in the "select job option" column. For this purpose, you'll want B&W, double-sided, portrait orientation, and, further down, three holes punched--or you can choose a binding.
11. From there it's pretty clear what to do. I recommend paying at the store instead of online. Staples is prone to mistakes, after all.

If you have any problems with this process, please let me know or (why not?) call Staples for help.

If you are singing with us for the first time, your remaining Messiah files are in the right column of this blog. You'll need those, too. Let me know if you have any trouble downloading them, and I'll send them as emailed files.
