Update for 10/11/15

Hey there wonderful honors choir families! Here’s a little info from me to you:

• ·        We had a few families thrown off by last week being the final time for t-shirt forms. This Tuesday (10/13) will be the LAST POSSIBLE CHANCE!!
• ·        I will have forms. I will be in the commons at 5:00. Just FYI.
• ·        The forms are wacky, as our sizing includes youth sizes S-M-L AND adult sizes S-M-L-XL. If you feel your form may be inaccurate email me or find me on Tuesday and we’ll fix it!
• ·        Shirts are $10, checks payable to CPS w/honors choir in the memo.
• ·        Our rehearsal on Tuesday, October 20^th will be our pick-up for fundraising items. We need someone to pick up your fundraising items at that time, so please be there or send someone who can pick it up as some items are refrigerated. They will need to get to their destinations rather quickly.
• ·        Donations can be made to the choir at any time for any amount.

I'll add the online information for the fundraiser:

www.cherrydale.com

Use the code FRCOHCM for our group to get credit. This is slightly DIFFERENT from the information on the fundraising sheet, but it is more accurate. I just checked it on the website. Mr. Battle had heard from many of you that it was slightly different. Thanks for the assist!!! Love our 15-16 HC team already!!!

Have a great week!!!

Ms. Hoeppner

Parent Information Meeting Video

Hi all!

Our first rehearsal went well! In case you missed the meeting, here is a video of Mr. Battle's talk at the meeting. If you need the informational packet, please find me (Ms. Hoeppner) after rehearsal next week and I'll hook you up! If you need to fix and email issue or report an absence, please email me at jhoeppner@cpsk12.org

See you next week!

Find the video here:  http://youtu.be/Qa_154IxMwo

Alright. That didn't work. YouTube didn't like the length of our 17 minute video. The major points of Mr. Battles words last night:

• Welcome to our 28th year of Columbia 5th Grade Honors Choir!
• If you're not getting email, please get your email to Ms. Hoeppner ASAP!
• Rehearsals are Tuesdays at Lange Middle School choir room (91) from 4:15-5:15 pm.
• The earliest you may drop off children is 4:00 pm.
• You may drop off and pick up at the Lange circle drive.
• Please pick up no later than 5:30 pm. If there is an emergency, please find another ride for them. Also, try and let us know. Emailing me at jhoeppner@cpsk12.org is probably your best bet to let us know.
• All honors choir students will be in their home school choirs to be in honors choir. Non-negotiable.
• Students may miss no more than 3 rehearsals. If they will be absent, please email Ms. Hoeppner with the reason.
• If your student misses school on a Tuesday, they may not attend honors choir that afternoon.
• Honors choir students are a representative of their home schools. If there is a behavior issue at school, Mr. Battle will have one conversation with the student asking them to fix the issue. If they do not, they will be asked to leave honors choir.
• Mr. Battle, Ms. Hoeppner, Ms. Lenz, and Mr. Melton will all be helping with honors choir this year.
• Dress for concerts include black from waist to toe. Black tights/hose with black skirts or black pants and black pants with black shoes. All must have a white shirt with a collar that buttons to the top. Polo shirts are fine, but their shirt must have a collar and button to the top to hold the tie they will be given to wear.
• The sleeve length of the shirt does not matter, because the students will have a cardigan over the shirt.
• If you cannot provide these attire pieces, please let Mr. Battle know and he will help.
• Fundraising info is part of the packet you received (or will get from Ms. Hoeppner next week). Fundraising is not required, but it helps the choir do more. If your family would rather make a donation in lieu of the fundraiser, that is fine. Checks can be made to Columbia Public Schools with Honors Choir in the memo. (We get a 40% return on this fundraiser.) 
• We raise funds for music, extra concert attire, and our Kansas City trip in April.
• Honors Choir t-shirts are $10. The order form is part of your packet. Please turn them in to Ms. Hoeppner by September 22nd. There are both youth and adult sizes, even though the sheet says youth only.
• Parents are welcome to wait in the Lange commons area if they would like, but there might be activities happening there. Otherwise, drop off and pick up is in the Lange circle drive by the main entrance.
