Dear parents and members of Honor Choir:
Honor Choir has been working hard and everything has come together so beautifully. As a director, I make guesses as to how fast it will take to pull together a show. Things are going very well, and we are a little ahead of schedule. So, rather than having a rehearsal we don’t need, we are going to cancel the Wednesday, September 20 rehearsal. This will give us a chance to get the stage ready and practice our costume changes at home. We will resume with our practice on Thursday as scheduled.
Thank you for getting flyers up and tickets out! Everyone is doing so much to help our children succeed.
Below you will find the schedule for the rest of the week. Please take a few minutes to review it with your students. Students will need to arrive with enough time to get mics on (if needed), costumes on and set, and make sure their props are ready by call time. Please plan on arriving with enough time to get ready.
Thank you!
Brad Thompson

Saturday Morning:
12 noon Sleeping Beauty and Into the Woods are a wonderful memory of excellent performances and enthusiastic crowds that appreciated your hard work.
12:15 p.m. HELP NEEDED: Begin collapsing the risers to set up for the high school classes. We also need someone with a truck to transport the platforms used to set the thrones on. They are stored just 5 blocks down the street. We also need four strong men to lift the risers (about 50 pounds) into and off of the truck. The Sleeping Beauty set needs to be struck by 1:00 p.m., so the high school can start building the set for their performance of Oklahoma at 1:30 p.m.
If you can help with the transporting of the risers please respond back to this email. Thanks!
Honor Choir will adjourn until 2:35 p.m. on Wednesday, October 4th.
