Honors Choir Update: 4/12/22

 April 12, 2022

Hello, CPS 5th Grade Honors Choir Families!

I hope all is well with you as we head into next week’s final rehearsal of the year.

A few announcements and reminders:

·   Our April performance will be hosted at Battle High School (7575 E. St. Charles Rd.) on Tuesday, April 26. Call time for singers will be 5:15pm in the BHS Choir Room, and the performance will begin at 6:00pm in the Performing Arts Center. A map of Battle High school is included in this week’s email communication.

·   Per the Honors Choir handbook, dress for the concert is as follows: “Bottoms: Black skirts with black tights or black pants with black socks; Shoes: Close-toed black dress shoes; Tops: All students will need a solid black shirt (no words, logos, designs, etc.) The black shirt must be at least short-sleeved (no spaghetti straps or sleeveless shirts).

·   The Honors Choir team of directors has created a Schoology course to accommodate unavoidable absences from rehearsal so singers can access materials at any time outside of rehearsal. The access code is: P8XX-TSVF-NZQ5G . Singers should be familiar with their login information from their home schools. If you’re having trouble logging into Schoology, please contact the media specialist at your child’s school.

·   If possible, please notify me in advance if your singer will be absent from rehearsal. It is our hope that all students who auditioned into the group will continue to participate; however, if conflicts have arisen, please let me know.

·   All communications sent to the mailing list are also available on our blog: http://cps5honorschoir.blogspot.com/

We hope you have great week, and we look forward to seeing your singer for our final rehearsal of the year next week, April 19.

Thanks to you all for picking up your singers on time (no later than 5:30) and for being respectful of our Tuesday evening schedules, which often include rehearsals with other community ensembles.

·   For safety purposes, please let me know if your singer will be riding with anyone other than their parent or guardian.

Honors Choir Update: January 17

 

January 17, 2022

Hello, CPS 5th Grade Honors Choir Families –

 

I hope all is well with you, and that you’ve had the opportunity to spend this long weekend with loved ones.

Due to the current wave of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 and the Columbia Public Schools administrative decision to adjust the school calendar, the Honors Choir team of directors has decided to take a short break from Honors Choir rehearsals. While we plan to resume Honors Choir rehearsals on February 1st, this may be extended as we closely monitor the current surge of positive cases. Out of an abundance of caution and concern for the health and safety of Honors Choir singers, we believe that we should step back from rehearsing for a short while.

We do not anticipate this pause will last for the remainder of the school year. I will update the Honors Choir mailing list as well as our blog (http://cps5honorschoir.blogspot.com/) as new information becomes available.

As always, please contact me directly with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to resuming rehearsal on February 1.
