Hello Choir Families,
Great News! Your generosity at our Minute to Give It raised $1,024.11 for Make a Wish! Thank you so much. They need to raise $7,000 per wish so this event gave them a significant boost to reach their next goal. Thank you to all who contributed.
Xquisite and Xtreme
Studio Singers, Soul Men, and Sound Waves had students from the high school teaching them choreography today. It was a really fun time and the students worked really hard. I’m very proud of their attentiveness while our guests were here and they made a very good impression. Information about their upcoming performance at the Los Al Holiday show was sent home on Tuesday. It’s on a neon green paper that I told the students to give to you. I have extras in my classroom if they lost it or left it on the floor in the classroom.
Pictures, Video, and Buttons
Pictures are now available for purchase at McAuliffeChoir.com. Our photographers got some great shots of the kids so be sure to check that out this weekend. Videos will be available soon. Buttons were delivered in class today. If you have questions about buttons you can email Shannon at McAChoirSpirit@gmail.com
Costume Return
Costumes were due in class today and several students have still not returned them. I would prefer to put away costumes once, so please get those turned in by Monday so I can get that taken care of.
Shoes
Performance shoes for the girls were also due today. The girls will be wearing them in class next week and will lose points if they do not have them. Please bring return them on Monday if they are not already in the room.
Sight Reading Tests
Vocal tests are all entered into Aeries. If your student has a 0 they did not submit a video. We have several students in every class that chose not to do this assignment. It is a very hard skill to learn which is why it is not weighing heavily on their grade. However, students wishing to audition for Sound Check or Studio Singers in the Spring must know how to sight read. If they are not getting feedback via their test, it is unlikely they will improve enough to make an advanced choir.
