Greetings, CPS 5th 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.
· 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/
· 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!
