September 23 Update

September 23, 2019

Greetings, 5^th Grade Honors Choir Families!

I hope all is well with you! A few reminders:

·      All Honors Choir fundraiser materials are due TOMORROW, Tuesday, September 24. This includes payment for all fundraiser products. All checks should be made payable to Columbia Public Schools with Honors Choir in the memo line.

·      All products ordered through the fundraiser will be delivered on Tuesday, October 29. Please plan to pick up any fundraiser products not shipped directly to the purchasers.

·      For weekly rehearsals, students should arrive to West Middle School no earlier than 3:45pm. The team of directors come from different directions all over town and cannot guarantee your child will be supervised until 3:45 each week.

·      Honors Choir singers should be picked up from WMS no later than 5:20pm following weekly rehearsals. Thank you for respecting the evening commitments of the team of directors. Singers who are consistently picked up late may not participate with the ensemble.

·      Missouri All-State Children’s Choir: The audition window is open until October 1. Please see the post above for more information.

·      On Saturday, November 23, Honors Choir students will have the opportunity to view a simulcast of the Metropolitan Opera’s production of Philip Glass’s opera Akhnaten. A workshop will take place at Cedar Ridge Elementary, followed by bus transportation to Forum 8 Theater for the screening. More information to follow in the coming weeks.

·      If your student will be absent from any Honors Choir rehearsal or event, please email me as soon as possible.

·      If you have any questions or concerns, please email me directly.

Thank you for your commitment to this ensemble. Have a great week!
