Hello Everyone!  We know that many of our students will be celebrating the Lunar New Year and we wish you all well!  We had another fantastic rehearsal and accomplished much in our sectionals.  We will resume sectionals next week, adding on a few new pieces.  Please work on what was done yesterday in your sectionals so we can move on quickly.

The t-shirt design submission needs to be in by February 14.  We are looking forward seeing them!

We wish Ms. Pritchard well on her trip to New York.  She will return February 14.  We are grateful for Ms. Loo who will take her place next week!

T-SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST!

Get those creative, artistic juices flowing choir members!  Next week you will be given the form to design our t-shirt for this year.  Black and white, with shading, is all that is needed for your design.  Your name, grade, and school must be on the back of the paper.  We’re looking forward to seeing all your designs!

CHRISTMAS MUSIC MUST BE RETURNED NEXT WEEK!

Please return your octavos from Christmas time by next week.  Members will not be given new music if they have outstanding music to be returned.

SECTIONALS NEXT WEEK

We previewed many new pieces these past 2 weeks and we’ll be doing sectionals during our rehearsals now in order to learn our parts.  Please review all the songs we’ve introduced these past 2 weeks in order to be ready!

New Members…..look for a notice to pay next week!

 

Welcome back to members from the Fall sessions, and hello to the new members who  have just joined us!  We are excited to begin this term and have many exciting pieces to share with you!  We introduced 4 songs at our first practice, Siyahamba, Liza, Song for the Mira, and The Path to the Moon.  We have even more great songs to showcase next week, and a few more that are on order after that!  Phew!  Start memorizing!  We discussed a few things as well at the end of rehearsal.  We will be having a T-shirt design contest this year so get your creative, artistic juices flowing!  We are looking at having a fund-raising concert with just our choir.  Perhaps you could think of some worthy charities that we could fund-raise for and we can chat about this next rehearsal.  We also will be thinking about 4 schools that we will be going to for our “Tour Date”.  Stay tuned for more details.  And……to see if you are really getting notifications for the blog, if you come up to Mrs. Fierro, or Ms. Speakman, or Ms. Pritchard and whisper, “Kermit the Frog”, we will reward you!
