December 10 Update


Hello, Honors Choir Families!

I hope all is well with you. This week’s announcements:

·         Thank you to all who participated in the Holiday Taping last Friday! Each year, CPS High Schools (and this year the 5th Grade Honors Choir), partner with local broadcast stations to create a seasonal offering of music and performance. Below are the times that four different versions (A, B, C, and D) of this effort will be available on various local broadcasts. Each version will feature students in band, choir, and orchestra from Battle, Hickman, and Rock Bridge High Schools and the 5th Grade Honors Choir. Celebrate with us! Thank you to the directors and all the students for making this possible.

  • On Tuesday, December 17, there will be an Honors Choir concert at Rock Bridge High School. This is a change of venue from previous communications. We will not have afternoon rehearsal on Tuesday, December 17. Students should arrive in uniform to Rock Bridge High School no later than 6:15pm for a 7:00pm performance. All Honors Choir singers should enter through the south entrance (close to the football field). There will be signs and/or people to lead them to the waiting area. Thank you for your patience and understanding of this change of venue.
  • T-shirts are in! I will hand pre-orders out at today’s rehearsal. If you would like to purchase a t-shirt, extras were ordered in each size. Please send $10 cash or check (made payable to Columbia Public Schools) to rehearsal with your singer. You may also send checks only to the home school music teacher and email me what size your child would like. While supplies last!
  • 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. 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. 
  • 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/
  • If you have any questions or concerns, please email me directly.

Have a wonderful week!

December 3 Update


Hello, Honors Choir Families!

I hope you had a restful Thanksgiving Break, and that all is well with you.

Lots of announcements/reminders this week:

·         Thank you to all who made our trip to Forum 8 Theatre for the MET Opera simulcast of Philip Glass’s opera Akhnaten a success on November 23!! Students who attended represented our ensemble and our school district well, and members of the community in attendance were impressed by their receptiveness to this wonderful musical experience. There will be additional opera-tunities later in the school year. Details to follow as those dates approach.
·         This Friday, December 6 the Honors Choir will be taped preceding their debut on the local access holiday broadcast!
o   Please drop off students at the Rock Bridge High School Performing Arts Center at 7:45am. Honors Choir staff will be waiting and watching for Honors Choir singers.
o   Students should wear uniforms (solid black from waist to toe, white collared shirt, and burgundy cardigan that was sent home with them in mid-November). HC singers will be given a clip-on gold tie to wear during the taping. These are to be returned immediately following the taping. Please notify me if any ties accidentally make it home with a singer.
o   Singers should bring a change of clothes for their school day.
o   At 8:30am, following the taping, Honors Choir singers will be bussed to their respective schools. If your child participates in the EEE program and Friday is their day to go (Alpha Hart, Blue Ridge, Benton, Derby Ridge, Shepard, West Blvd.) please notify me so they can be put on the correct bus. Busses are scheduled to have students to their home buildings no later than 9:45am.
·         On Tuesday, December 17, there will be an Honors Choir concert at Rock Bridge High School. Due to scheduling conflicts, this is a change of venue from previous communications. We will not have afternoon rehearsal on Tuesday, December 17. Students should arrive in uniform to Rock Bridge High School no later than 6:15pm for a 7:00pm performance. All Honors Choir singers should enter through the south entrance (close to the football field). There will be signs and/or people to lead them to the waiting area. Thank you for your patience and understanding of this change of venue.
·         T-shirts have been ordered and are schedule to come in next Monday, December 9. We will work diligently to distribute them at rehearsal on December 10. If you did not pre-order a t-shirt but would like to purchase, extras were ordered in each size. Please send $10 cash or check (made payable to Columbia Public Schools) to rehearsal with your singer. You may also send checks only to the home school music teacher and email me what size your child would like. While supplies last!
