Dear Honors Choir Families:
Welcome to the Columbia Public Schools 5th Grade Honors Choir! My
name is Lindsey Tevebaugh and I am the elementary general music specialist at
West Boulevard Elementary School. This will be my tenth year of teaching total,
and I will be in charge of corresponding with families of the students in the
Honors Choir for the third year in a row. 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 5th 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 : 401 Clinkscales Rd. (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 3rd.
- Following the first rehearsal on September 3rd, there will be a family meeting from 5:15-5:30pm. 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 a hard copy of the HC handbook. The meeting will be in the WMS Band Room next door to the choir room where singers enter.
- If
your child’s school has changed since last year (within Columbia Public
Schools or to outside the district), or if your family decides that your singer
will not be participating in the CPS 5th Grade Honors Choir, please notify
me as soon as possible so I can update our files.
- If
you have any questions or concerns, please email me directly: ltevebaugh@cpsk12.org
We will see you all on September 3rd! There will be music teachers
directing singers into the choir room for the first rehearsal.
Sincerely,
Lindsey Tevebaugh, Business Director
Christine Nichols, Honors Choir Director
Elizabeth Tummons, Honors Choir Assistant Director
James Melton, Director of Fine Arts
