Varsity/JV

We began Christmas Songs – the choir loves the Pentatonix versions so several of those will be in our repertoire Sight reading each day in preparation for Pre Area and Spring Contest.

There will be a Choir Halloween Party for Varsity Choir – date is still pending.  Many of the students have signed up to bring things.  Please make sure you follow through if you have committed

Christmas Concert will be early December – we are waiting on date approval.  The students are sounding great!

All Region Concert will be November 6!  Those who have advanced will need to plan on an all day workshop followed by an incredible concert.  This will be in Gladewater!

Dresses and tuxes will be coming home soon.  Please take care of these.  The school has purchased these as a service to our students, but students are responsible for keeping them in proper condition.  These will be turned in at the end of the year with a cleaning fee. (If you feel the need to dry clean during the year, please do so.)

Have a great Monday off!

Middle School

7/8

These students participated in All Region Tryouts Saturday.  They have worked so hard and are such a gifted group.  I cant wait to see results.  I am so proud of them.

*Details about Saturday.  We are meeting at the choir room at 7 and traveling to Sulphur Springs.  The students can wear normal school attire – not shorts(I think it will be too cold anyway).  They may bring money for concessions and for food afterwards.  Each student will receive $8 on the way home.  They want to stop at CFA  They may bring blankets for the bus ride.  They may also bring cards/games to play while waiting for their audition time.  Cell phones are not allowed in the building. I will be judging so if you need to contact someone, Jennifer Farmer has graciously agreed to be our chaperone. If there is a need for you to contact her her number is 9037361574.  She will be with the kiddos.  I will be judging.

When we return on Tuesday, we will celebrate then start Christmas Music.  Concert will be early December!

 

6th Grade

Welcome to the new group of 6th graders.  Students will need a binder, pencil pouch, and highlighter/pencils to mark music.  This does not need to be new.  I also have used ones in my room that they may purchase for $1 each.  These will be first come/first served.

I am so excited to welcome this new group.  We will be working on a mini Christmas musical to perform before the high school concert as well as learning basic music fundamentals.  I am so glad to have this group of i6th graders!
