THIS WEEK IN CHOIR

Hello Choir Families,

I cannot begin to express how proud I am of our whole organization this week. The kids did such a great show and there was incredible growth in all of the choirs. Our parents and staff were equally amazing making sure that the front-of-house ran smoothly and keeping our kids safe and calm throughout the evening. When issues arose you responded very quickly and got everyone back on track. Thank you to all who contributed to make this magic happen for our students. There is no substitute for experience and it’s so important to give the students these opportunities to grow.

Students have already begun work on their February show and are taking all of the lessons they learned into their new music. Sound Waves, Studio Singers, and Soul Men will be performing a number with the high school choirs at their upcoming holiday show and Sound Check will be doing several holiday gigs throughout the month of December.

Pictures, Video, and Buttons

Our amazing booster team took pictures and video of the show. We are organizing all of that now and will let you know when that will be available. If you ordered a button and have not yet received it, those will be delivered to class next week as well. If you have questions about buttons you can email Shannon at McAChoirSpirit@gmail.com

Costume Return

Any costumes that were borrowed from the school should be cleaned and returned no later than Friday Nov. 15. Pink sequin jackets do not need to be cleaned. I will be taking those to the dry cleaners. Six costumes should be hand washed in the sink, rinsed, and hung dry. Please do not put them in the machine. Grey pants and button down shirts can be put in the wash.

Shoes

Performance shoes for the girls needs to be brought back to class by next Friday so we can continue dancing in them during rehearsal. Foot noise was one of the major areas we need to improve before our next performance and we can only do that if everyone has their shoes.

Sight Reading Tests

Well this week has gotten away from me so I will do my best to get those graded over the long weekend. Once those are done we will evaluate how they did and set goals moving forward.
