Hello, Honors Choir Families!
I hope you all enjoyed extra
time at home yesterday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and that you’re
staying warm and well as winter rolls through.
Remember:
- All communications sent to the distribution list are
also available on our blog: http://cps5honorschoir.blogspot.com/
- 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.
- Solo
auditions for our spring concert will be held on March 12 during Honors
Choir rehearsal.
- The
opera-tunity is approaching on Saturday, February 2 for Honors Choir
singers to view Carmen through the Metropolitan Opera’s educational
outreach program! So far, there are 28 Honors Choir singers signed up. We
will take the first 50 to sign up using this link: https://goo.gl/forms/X0syqq01yiW4pubA2.
- As with
our previous opera trip, students will meet at Locust St. Expressive Arts
School at 8:30am 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. We will return to Locust St. Expressive Arts School
shortly after 4:00pm for pick-up.
- T-Shirt Update: It’s not too late to purchase Honors Choir
T-shirts! Shirts are available on a first-come, first-served basis for $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.
Have a great
week!
