Hello, Honors Choir Families!
I hope all is well with you
and your family. I know the time change last week has affected my energy level –
thank goodness for coffee!
A few reminders:
- In addition to today’s rehearsal, we have only 2
more rehearsals for the year! I have attached the Honors Choir schedule as
a reminder of our upcoming rehearsals and events.
- Please send your singer to rehearsal unless they
are ill. We realize that flu season is not quite over, and that students
get sick. Thank you for keeping your singer home from rehearsal if he/she
is ill. It is also important that singers be present for rehearsal as we
prepare to take the ensemble to Kansas City to perform. Last week we were
missing 25 singers, which makes it difficult to rehearse as a full group. Thank
you for your support.
- Many of you have had questions about the upcoming
trip to Kansas City on Friday, April 6.
- The concert in Kansas City will be held at 7:00pm
at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in downtown KC. For more
information, please visit their website at https://kcgolddome.org/.
- The concert is free of charge and open to the
public. Thank you in advance for having a discussion with your singer
about behavior expectations when performing in a historic sacred space. The
team of directors will reinforce this message.
- At this time, we have 4-5 elementary music
specialists who have committed to join us on the trip. We do not need
additional chaperones; however, we appreciate your willingness to give
generously of your time, and I will let you know if our chaperone
situation changes.
- Students may bring small electronics for the bus
ride to and from Kansas City with the understanding that they should be
used responsibly and appropriately. We cannot be responsible for lost
items.
- Students do not need to bring any extra money.
Lunch and dinner will be provided for them. If they would like to pack a
small snack to have at an appropriate time during the day, you may pack
one with them.
- If you will be providing return transportation
for your student, please complete and return the attached release form.
- If your student is unable to join us on this
trip, please notify me as soon as possible.
- If your singer will be late, absent, or need to
leave early from any Honors Choir function or event, please notify me as
soon as possible.
- Thank you for your continued support of the
ensemble. The team of directors is very much looking forward to taking
this performing group to Kansas City to perform!
- This and all information sent to the distribution
list can always be found on our blog: http://cps5honorschoir.blogspot.com/
Have a great week!
