PS...(dang it, I always try to get it all and then miss something important. Sorry to fill up your inbox!)

·       The concert this Saturday is with the Booneslick Chordbusters men’s barbershop chorus: http://www.chordbusters.com/

·       Extra tickets (over your two comps) are $10

·       You may purchase them in advance from Charles Bay. You can stop by Wilsons Garden Center near Hickman High School on the business loop and purchase them or you may call him at 529-6821. There should be tickets available at the door of the Missouri Theater the night of the concert.

·       The first half of the concert is just the Chordbusters; the second half starts with five of our songs; the Chordbusters will sing again; the end of the concert will have honors choir sing a song with Chordbusters.

·       I will hand out comp tickets on Tuesday to parents or students. If you know you need your student to pick up those tickets, please just tell them to see me after rehearsal or if you’d like the carpool parent to pick up your tickets, please just let them know. We’ll have a sign out sheet for tickets.

I hope this is the last one before our concerts. Thanks for your help and patience!! See you tomorrow!!

·       Our first rehearsal for 2016 is January 5^th

Uniform information

Uniform questions

Hey there! I’ve had many questions from families about what students need for the Honors Choir uniform. Here’s what you need:

1.      A white, collared shirt that buttons to the top. It may be long-sleeved or short-sleeved, but it must have a collar that buttons so that we can place a clip-on tie on it.

2.     Black shoes and socks or tights.

3.     Black pants or skirt. We really want black from waist to toe, with no skin showing. This helps the audience focus on the singers faces. We do not want any colors or skin peeking out as a distraction.

We provide for the students to borrow for performances:

1.      A gold clip on tie

2.     A burgundy cardigan sweater

There is nothing else needed.

If you ANY reason you need assistance purchasing the uniform pieces that your child needs, please email me ASAP and we will make sure to work it out.

Last thing: There is no rehearsal on December 15^th, after our winter concert on the 10^th. We will resume rehearsals on January 5^th.

Thanks!
