Honors Choir Update: December 15

 

December 15, 2021

 Greetings, CPS 5^th Grade Honors Choir Families!

 I hope all is well with you as Winter Break approaches.

 A few announcements and reminders:

·       If possible, please notify me in advance if your singer will be absent from rehearsal. It is our hope that all students who auditioned into the group will continue to participate; however, if conflicts have arisen, please let me know.

·       I will be communicating with the elementary music teachers all over the district as an additional support to communication to Honors Choir families; however, please notify me directly with your questions or concerns.

·       Weekly rehearsals are from 4:00-5:15pm. Please do not drop off your singers before 3:45pm, as all of the Honors Choir directors are coming from different schools around the district and will not be available to supervise before then. Please pick up your singer no later than 5:30pm each week.

·       Our goal is to streamline the dismissal process as much as possible. You may either go through the pick-up line or park your vehicle and walk up to the choir room entrance to meet your singer. Additional parking is available at the Activity & Recreation Center (ARC) to the south of the WMS parking lot.

·       For safety purposes, please let me know if your singer will be riding with anyone other than their parent or guardian.

·       Our April performance date has been pushed back by a week due to a conflict with a CPS-sponsored trip affecting about half of the Honors Choir singers. Our new performance date is Tuesday, April 26.

·       All communications sent to the mailing list are also available on our blog: http://cps5honorschoir.blogspot.com/

 

We look forward to seeing the 2021-22 Honors Choir again on January 11 at 4:00pm in the West Middle School Choir Room.

 Happy Holidays from the Honors Choir team of directors!

Honors Choir Update: December 8, 2021

 

December 8, 2021

 

Greetings, CPS 5^th Grade Honors Choir Families!

 

What a wonderful first rehearsal we had yesterday! Mr. Walker, Mrs. Buzbee, and I were thrilled to see so many singers and families at the brief meeting following rehearsal.

 

A few announcements and reminders:

·       If your singer was absent from rehearsal yesterday and you have not already contacted me directly, please do so as soon as possible. It is our hope that all students who auditioned in to the group will continue to participate; however, if conflicts have arisen, please let me know.

·       I will be communicating with the music teachers in the elementary schools all over the district as an additional support to communication to Honors Choir families; however, please notify me directly with your questions or concerns.

·       Many of you noticed and commented on the limited parking available at West Middle School. For next week’s dismissal, we want to streamline the process as much as possible. You may either go through the pick-up line, or park your vehicle and walk up to the choir room entrance to meet your singer. Additional parking is available at the Activity & Recreation Center (ARC) to the south of the WMS parking lot.

·       For safety purposes, please let me know if your singer will be riding with anyone other than their parent or guardian.

·       Weekly rehearsals are from 4:00-5:15pm. Please do not drop off your singers before 3:45pm, as all of the Honors Choir directors are coming from different schools around the district and will not be available to supervise before then. Please pick up your singer no later than 5:30pm each week.

·       Please don’t hesitate to contact me directly with your questions and concerns.

 

We look forward to seeing the 2021-22 Honors Choir again next Tuesday, December 14 at 4:00pm in the West Middle School Choir Room.

 

Have a great week!
