October 7th Correction!

September 7, 2017

Dear Honors Choir Families:

Please note the corrections to the agenda for the performance on Saturday, October 7th at the Missouri School Board Association conference at Tan-Tar-A Resort in Lake of the Ozarks.

At the parent meeting, we announced some of the details about the October 7th performance at the Missouri School Board Association conference. The group will perform at 1:00pm on Saturday, October 7th. Dress rehearsal at Tan-Tar-A begins at 12:00pm. It will take us up to 2 hours by bus to get to Lake of the Ozarks, so we plan on leaving in the morning between 9:00 and 9:30am, giving us sufficient time to feed the Honors Choir students lunch and allow time for other preparations. We will leave from West Middle School the morning of October 7th. Unfortunately, because this performance is at a conference of a professional dues-paying organization, all parents not belonging to the Missouri School Board Association are not eligible to attend. I will keep you posted about the need for parent chaperones. We are hoping to have a pool party after the performance at the Tan-Tar-A Resort Water Park. We are planning to return to Columbia between 4:30 and 5:00pm. Because Mr. Melton was unable to attend yesterday’s rehearsal, more details will be announced as they become available. If you have any questions or concerns about this performance, please contact me directly.

I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Thank you!

September 7 Update

Dear Honors Choir Families:

It was great to see so many of you at the parent meeting on Tuesday evening! If something came up and you were unable to attend, this email should help. You are always welcome to email me with questions, comments, or concerns. The team of directors is excited to have your singer in the Honors Choir! We appreciated the talent and enthusiasm from the group yesterday, and we are looking forward to helping them develop their singing habits and skills individually and as an ensemble this year.
