January 8 Update

Hello, Honors Choir Families!

Happy New Year! I hope you were able to spend quality time with your loved ones over the break, and that your singer is ready for a new semester in Honors Choir!

• The Honors Choir rehearsal schedule is available on the right side of your screen from the blog home page. Please refer to this document before contacting me to ask whether or not there will be rehearsal.
• We will resume regularly-scheduled rehearsals tomorrow, Tuesday, January 8, 2019 in the West Middle School choir room.
• Rehearsals begin at 4:00pm and end at 5:15pm. Please do not enter the choir room before 3:45, as there are middle school rehearsals in session.
• Singers should be picked up from rehearsal no later than 5:25pm. Thank you for respecting the evening commitments of the Honors Choir staff.
• There is another opera-tunity for Honors Choir singers to view Carmen through the Metropolitan Opera’s educational outreach program! The Honors Choir staff will take the first 50 Honors Choir singers who sign up. This will happen on Saturday, February 2, 2019. As with our previous opera trip, students will meet to learn about opera and the music from Carmen before traveling to Forum 8 Theater to watch the opera. Please pack a sack lunch for your child, as school cafeterias will be closed on the weekend. The opera begins at 11:55am at Forum 8 Theater and will last for approximately 3 hours, 45 minutes with intermissions in between each act.
• Follow this Google Forms link to sign up your singer to view “Carmen” on February 2: https://goo.gl/forms/X0syqq01yiW4pubA2
• T-Shirt Update: The Honors Choir t-shirts were ordered before Winter Break. I am waiting to hear back about delivery specifics. When the shirts arrive, I will distribute them to singers at rehearsal. It’s not too late to purchase Honors Choir T-shirts! I have ordered extras in each size available on a first-come, first-served basis. T-shirts are $10 each. Checks must be made payable to Columbia Public Schools. Please write Honors Choir in the memo line.
• If your student will be absent from any Honors Choir rehearsal or event, please email me as soon as possible.
• All communications sent to the distribution list are also available on our blog: http://cps5honorschoir.blogspot.com/

Have a great week!
