Choir Announcements–Sept. 21, 2007
Choir rehearsal every Wednesday Morning at 7:29am. Attendance is taken. Please send notes with your students if they are unable to attend. Any student missing more than 3 morning rehearsals could be removed from the concert choir.
All West Honor Choir–Students have received music and practice CDs for the audition. The audition is very competitive. Please check with your students to ensure they truly are committed to this audition. It takes some practice every day. I have posted a calendar outside of my classroom door for students to sign up with individual/small group practice time with me. ALL STUDENTS AUDITIONING FOR THE HONOR CHOIR MUST MEET WITH ME AT LEAST TWICE OUTSIDE OF CLASS. The audition is Oct. 27th and we will need parent help at the audition site. Please check your calendars.
Addition to the calendar–We have added a concert to the calendar. It will be Oct. 23 (Monday Night) for the PTA meeting. Please plan on attending. It will be a great first concert for us!
Uniforms–The deadline for ordering choir uniforms is Oct. 1st. All money needs to be collected by then. That is the last date we can order the uniforms to receive them before our Holiday Concert in December. The girls fee is $135 and the boys fee is $100. Both fees include shoes. I have measured every student enrolled in choir class. Any band students who are not in the choir class will need to see me. There are still used uniforms for sale. Please secure your used uniform as soon as possible. After Oct. 1 I will not have these uniforms posted any more.
WATER–As Fall begins, our students begin having problems singing. This is due to the weather change, outside environment, the classroom temperature, etc. A parent has donated a refrigerator for the choir room. Please bring a case of bottled water for students to drink during choir. It definitely helps their singing voice.
PARENT MEETING–Our 2nd choir/band parent meeting will be this Monday, September 24 at 6pm in the Band Room. Please plan on attending. You may bring your cases of water to that meeting. Hope to see you all there.
I still do not have my laptop back from the Board. I will try to find another way to do the emails. However, I cannot update PowerSchool. Please email me if you are concerned about your child’s grade. I have not been able to update grades for 2 weeks. I will let you know when something changes.
Have a great weekend. See you Monday night at 6pm!
Ms. Ward
