Welcome to 2016-17 CPS 5^th Grade Honors Choir,

I am the music teacher in charge of corresponding with the families of our singers. My name is JoAnna Hoeppner. You should have gotten a test email from me last week on Friday. If you responded, thank you! If you did not, please go ahead and let me know this email address works and is currently in use! J

We, the crew that directs and organizes 5^th Grade Honors Choir, is so excited about our year coming up! There will be lots of fun, hard work, and singing! Some things are similar to years past and some things are new. Carefully read the list below:

·       Our rehearsals will be on Tuesdays from 4:00-5:15 pm

·       We will be at West Middle School this year

·       Students should be dropped off no earlier than 3:45 and picked up no later than 5:30, at the WMS choir room, which is at the south west corner of the school (it’s the parking lot closest to the ARC and the athletic field)

·       Students will be required to stay in that section of the school and will not be allowed to wander the building or grounds, so please plan to drop off and pick up there

·       Our first rehearsal will be in two weeks, on September 6^th

·       At 5:15 on the 6^th, there will be a family meeting, we will need each singer to have a parent or guardian there to receive more information and fund raising materials

·       Our family meeting should last for 15-20 minutes, and you’ll receive a HC handbook, the meeting will be in the WMS Choir Room, come in through same door the singers enter

·       Information and schedule are on our blog at: http://cps5honorschoir.blogspot.com/

·       You can follow us on Facebook (CPS 5^th Grade Honors Choir) or twitter @honorschoir

·       If you any questions or concerns, please email me directly: jhoeppner@cpsk12.org

We’ll see you on the sixth! There will be people directing singers into the choir that first rehearsal! Can’t wait to see you all!!

Sincerely,

JoAnna Hoeppner, Corresponding Director
