6th Grade

“On the Radio” is coming along nicely.  We are adding the sound tracks  this week as well as focusing on lyrics for all songs.  We will add some singing solos this week.

Your student will be choosing what part he/she would like to have in this little program.  Costuming should be minimal and not necessary.  Some are committing to dress up to portray the Beetles, the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s etc.  Please visit with them and decide if this is something you are willing to do.

We are continuing our work on  from Do Re Mi and My Favorite Things.

Remember Fridays are “Student’s Choice” where students are allowed to send  in appropriate selections for us to listen and sing along with on Fridays.  Song choices must be submitted by Thursday at noon.

 

7/8th Grade

Students are working on  A Million Dreams from the Greatest Showman and the Cups song

We will also have an in-house solo competition in February or March.  Each student has chosen a song to work on in preparation for this contest.  They have a copy to take home and are being given some class time to prepare is well..

These kiddos are really progressing at sight reading skills.  They amaze me.

 

High School

Solo competition is in Marshall on February 5.  The bus will leave around 11   Our last audition is at 2:00 so we should be home around 3:30.  The assignment for this week is to have all of your song memorized.  We will have Mrs. Ruthie Hughes coming in on Friday, January 28 so it is important that songs are prepared and ready to be critiqued before the actual competition.

We have worked through Tonight, Tonight and I Feel Pretty from West Side Story.  These songs are now available on google classroom, so please spend time practicing. We will be adding new songs this week.
