This Week in Choir
Hello Choir Families,
It was so nice seeing you all at Back to School Night! If you weren’t able to make it it’s OK, you just missed out on seeing my middle school yearbook picture. We have an event coming up that you won’t want to miss. Details are below, and a flyer will be posted on our website and social media.
Seal Beach Art Fair!
The kids drew quite a crowd! Thanks for coming out to support McAuliffe Choir at the Seal Beach Art Fair this past weekend.
Desserts with the Director - Tuesday Sept. 24th 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
This is a chance to get to know the boosters, ask all the questions, and sign up to help at our upcoming events. It’s very informal, and we will keep it light. Bring a dessert or snack to share with your table. Adults only if possible, but we totally understand if you need to bring the littles.
SIX Mega Mix Rehearsals - Girls Only
The girls will be performing a special number at our Broadway show, and we will be having rehearsals during 0 period. This is optional, so if you can’t make 0 period work, it’s not a big deal. It’s open to all girls in choir for the first few rehearsals, and we may have tryouts after that to make sure everyone is keeping up and doing their homework. Again, this is an extra commitment, so it’s not a problem if you don’t have time or can’t get there. Rehearsals will be Tuesday and Friday 7:45 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. next week, and every Friday after that.
Lip Synch Battle
This is our best and certainly most fun fundraiser of the year. The choir department hosts a lip synch battle open to the whole school. Students put acts together and perform them for a live audience and judges. Then we post it online for further judging and the winner gets $100! Participation is optional for students, but we ask that if they don’t want to be in the show they purchase a ticket and come support. We will need parents to help with this event and will discuss in more detail at Desserts with the Director on Sept. 24th.
Paper Towel Rolls!
Thank you so much for sending in paper towel rolls. We still need about 20 more so keep them coming!
Choir Donations
Thank you to those of you who have already donated to choir! If you donate before Sept. 20 you get a little bit of a discount and if not, you can set up a payment schedule to spread it out. Remember anything is appreciated and don’t forget to set up Raise Right.
