Hello, Honors Choir Families!
I hope all is well with you, and that you’re staying
warm and well!
A few reminders:
·
On Saturday, November 23, CPS 5th Grade Honors
Choir members are invited to a simulcast from New York City’s Metropolitan Opera
Company of Philip Glass’ opera Akhnaten at
Forum 8 Movie Theater (1209 Forum Katy Parkway).
This event is limited to the first 50 students signed up and will last from

On the morning of Friday, December 6, the 5th
Grade Honors Choir will record “Sisi Ni Moya” and “The Fox” at Rock Bridge High
School to be included in the local access channel holiday broadcast. We are
very excited to bring this level of coverage and widespread attention to the
talented singers of our ensemble. 5th Grade Honors Choir students
should be dropped off at RBHS Auditorium no earlier than 7:45am on
Friday, December 6. Students should arrive in uniform (black from hip to toe,
white collared shirt, burgundy cardigan) and bring a change of clothes for
their school day. The auditorium will be kept empty for an optimum recording
environment, so unfortunately parents may not stay for taping; however,
families will be sent links to recordings. All 5th Grade Honors
Choir students’ tardies will be excused with their home schools, and students
will be bussed to their home schools following the recording. Thank you for
your support of this new opportunity for the Honors Choir!
·
Honors Choir T-shirts will be available for purchase in
November. I will send order forms home with singers following today’s rehearsal.
·
We have begun to fit
students for burgundy cardigans as part of their performance uniform. We will
send cardigans home with singers after all have been fitted. Cardigans will be
worn for performances only in December and in April. This includes the December
6 recording. Please
contact me if purchasing a shirt and pants or a skirt is a problem for you. We
will provide you with a donated uniform or look for a source of alternative
funding.
·
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 great evening!
