Welcome to the 2017-18 CPS 5th Grade Honors Choir!

August 19, 2017

Dear Honors Choir Families:

Welcome to the Columbia Public Schools 5^th Grade Honors Choir! My name is Lindsey Tevebaugh and I am the elementary general music specialist at West Boulevard Elementary school. This is my eighth year teaching, and I will be in charge of corresponding with families of the students in the Honors Choir. Please let this serve as a test email so I know this address works and is currently in use.

We are excited about getting started with your 5^th grade singer! This ensemble provides valuable performance opportunities and choir experience for all involved. Please carefully read the information below, as some is new or different than years past.

·         Regular weekly rehearsals will be held on Tuesdays from 4:00-5:15pm in the West Middle School Choir Room (at the southwest corner of the school, closest to the ARC and the athletic fields).

·         Students should be dropped off at WMS no earlier than 3:45pm and picked up no later than 5:30pm.

·         Our first rehearsal will be on Tuesday, September 5^th.

·         Because of our scheduled performance at the Missouri School Board Association conference on Saturday, October 7, we will be extending rehearsals until 5:45pm leading up to the performance. We will return to the regular rehearsal schedule (4:00-5:15) after the performance on October 7.

·         Following the first rehearsal on September 5^th, there will be a family meeting from 5:30-5:45pm. Each singer must have a parent or guardian present to receive more information and fundraising materials. This meeting will last 15-20 minutes, and you will receive an HC handbook. The meeting will be in the WMS Band Room next door to the choir room where singers enter.

·         The Honors Choir schedule and handbook will be posted on the blog at: http://cps5honorschoir.blogspot.com/

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

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

We will see you all on September 5^th! There will be music teachers directing singers into the choir room for the first rehearsal.

Sincerely,

Lindsey Tevebaugh, Business Director

Robert Battle, Honors Choir Director

Christine Nichols, Honors Choir Assistant Director

Ryan Layton, Collaborative Pianist

James Melton, Director of Fine Arts
