Remember that your 6th grade concert is on December 9 at 6:00.  You must be in the choir room at 5:40 in concert dress:

all black for girls, below the knee; black trousers for boys with white button-down shirt and dark tie.  All:  dark shoes and socks/hose.

Start memorizing words and notes to all concert songs; progress checks are coming up.  The 6th grade choirs are developing a nice sound; keep it up!

7th / 8th choir

The Fairview cluster festival is coming up on November 17.  Students need to be in the Fairview big gym at 5:45 to rehearse; the concert starts at 7:00.  Your original schedule sheet says 6-8.  Please adjust accordingly.

We will have a one-time joint rehearsal after school on December 7 in the auditorium from 3:45 to 4:45.  This will be our one chance to have both 7/8 classes on stage and figure out placement, balance and blend, etc. THIS IS NOT ON YOUR ORIGINAL SCHEDULE SHEET, so please mark it on your calendars!  Dress is same as below. 

The December concert for 7/8 is on December 8 at 7:00.  Kids need to be here at 6:40 in concert dress, which is all black for everyone, below the knee (boys are black trousers, black button down shirt, and a dark tie.) Dark shoes and socks/hose for all. 

The 7/8 groups are really sounding lovely; I can't wait to hear them all together!

All Choir Groups

Individual solo/ensemble auditions for the December concerts are coming up on November 17 and 18, during choir classes.  We have discussed this thoroughly in class, including the fact that the auditions must be performance-ready and with appropriate accompaniment. 

All groups are sounding really nice!
