Email To Parents

Hello Everyone,

Here it is! The Disneyland Itinerary is ready!!! It has all the information that you will need for the choir workshop and performance at Disneyland. There is a lot of information that is covered, so please read it slowly and carefully. If you have any questions please ask.

Sadly, there is still one key item missing, the tickets. We have not received them yet. As soon as we get them, we will let you know.

We will be sending a copy of the itinerary home with the students on Wednesday.

Please make a note that we will be collecting all uniforms at choir practice on Wednesday. More information can be found in the above document.

Let the Magic Begin!

 

 

Hello Parents,

Its very exciting, our Disneyland trip is just around the corner. The kids have been working hard getting ready to perform. Since we have only have 3 rehearsals left before the trip, Mr. Thompson would like to extend the rehearsals times. This will give the students time to finish learning the performance and perfect it for Disneyland. Please look below for the rehearsal schedule. This should be all the practices, but please be aware that it may change as we get closer.

Disneyland Rehearsals:

Wednesday, February 17 @ 2:35-4:35
Wednesday, February 24 @ 2:35-4:35
Friday, February 26 @ 12:35-3:35

Since we know many of you will be leaving for Disneyland early in the week, there will be NO PRACTICE Wednesday, March 2. Please remember, if you choose to enjoy Disneyland before the performance please make sure your student is rested for Friday’s activities.

We will be sending out another email soon with all the information you will need for Disneyland.

Thanks!

Dear Parents,

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of activities for honor choir. With that being said you would never know that the students have been putting in so many hours practicing for Music Man and working on the songs for CMEA and Disneyland too. Every time they walk through the door they are ready to learn with a smile on their face. Their dedication to Honor Choir is amazing. Thank you!

Crunch Week is here and we are in the home stretch to performance time. To help you get through crunch week we have put together a schedule and a few items that we wanted you to be aware of.

Tickets:

• The ticket sales are very low =( If you have not bought your tickets yet please do so asap. We really would like to see three full shows! Remember to call all your family and friends.
• The flyers are available on the website, its not too late to hand them out or put them up around town. If you need flyers printed for you, Kristi Mazuelos (209) 968-6423 has kindly said that she would happily make copies for anyone who needs them.
• All ticket money and unsold tickets are due Monday, January 18 at rehearsal. You can still purchase tickets after that time but you will need to pay for them when you get them. Kara will be selling tickets until the lights turn off for the last show =)

Parent Volunteers:

• Many of you have asked how you can help, here are a few ways that you can. We are in need of parent volunteers in the following areas. If you would like more information about any of the areas please call the parent listed. Thanks!
  • Cast Party: If you are able to bring food items or help with the cast party please contact Ali Miller (209) 495-2777
  • Ushers: If you are interested in seating people and handing out programs, please contact Brooke Finley (209) 495-6670
  • Back Stage Chaperone: If you are interested in helping back stage during the shows please contact Alice Conners (209) 204-0789

Props Needed:

• We are in need of a few props. If you could help us with any of the items below please contact Alice Conners (209) 204-0789
  • Band Instruments (if your son is in the band and you have one they can borrow that would great!)
  • Pitch Fork

Mics

• In previous shows students have put mics in their pockets. Moving forward all mics need to be put into a sock and attached to the back of their undershirt under their costume. Please make sure they are wearing a shirt that can hold up to the weight of the mic.
• Even if your student has used a mic before they need to check in with Mr. Daniel or Elizabeth Daniel once they put their mic on. They will be checking to make sure everything is on and everything looks good, we are hoping this will help resolve some of the mid show issues.

And now what everyone has been looking for: )

Please look carefully for your student’s name for Monday’s rehearsal time, some students are being asked to come early and/or stay late. Even though some students have been listed for Mic check for Monday they will not be the only ones wearing mics.  Please keep mic check time open just in case your student may need to come in for mic checks later in the week. The first group is just the beginning of mic checks =)
