Hello Choir Families,
December has arrived and with that comes all of the holiday shows! We have students performing all over town this week! Check the calendar and come support. Each choir is working hard on their competition sets, and we have finally ordered all of our costumes! Two of our groups had fittings this week, and we will have the other groups fitted before we leave for break. Don’t forget to order your shoes if you have not, and please let me know if you need help with that.
High School Holiday Show
The Los Al Choir is underway with their holiday show this weekend. Last night Sound Waves and Studio performed “Stretchy Pants” with Xquisite and Saturday at 2:00 Soul Men will be performing “Hanukkah” with Xtreme. Be sure to turn in your extra credit if you performed or saw the show this week.
Soul Men Tomorrow!
If your student will be performing with Xtreme tomorrow, they will report to the lecture hall at the high school by 1:45. They will wear a white button down shirt with black pants. Please see that their shirt is ironed and tucked in. They will leave at intermission (around 3:30). If you are available, it would be good to have some extra supervision in the lecture hall. I’ll will be there, but I’ve lost my voice so I won’t be very effective at getting their attention.
Katella Senior Living Show
Sound Check will be singing at Katella Senior Living on Tuesday 9th at 3:45. If you have family there we would love for you to come enjoy the show with your family.
Videos and Pictures
Videos and pictures from our amazing Broadway show are now available at McAuliffeChoir.com. Pictures will be delivered via digital download through Pixieset. Videos will be placed on a hard drive. These make great gifts for grandparents! Order now to have them in time for the holidays.
Competition Shoes
If you have not already done so, it is time to order your child’s competition shoe. Each choir is wearing a different shoe this year so be sure to check carefully. Shoes can be brought into class as soon as they arrive and left for the duration of the season. All students must have their shoes by Jan. 6th when we return from break. If there is a financial, size, shipping, or other concern, please email me by the first week in December so I can help make sure your student gets what they need in time.
Sixth Sense-White Ked-type shoes- Due Jan 6
Sixth Sense will be wearing white canvas Ked like shoes for their next show. They do not need to be real Keds but should be plain all white canvas. Here is a link to Amazon-you do not need this exact shoe. These shoes should not be worn elsewhere until after the February show. The girls need to write their name on the inside of the show and bring them in a box to keep in the classroom. Shoes can be brought in any time before break and are due the day we come back.
Sound Waves-Character shoes Due Jan. 6
Sound Waves girls will all need a pair of flesh character shoes. 1 or 1.5 inch heel with a strap. No t-strap! I’ve included a link to a version on Amazon for convenience. However, you can get any brand from any dance store you choose. Different brands have different versions of the “flesh” color and some brands make caramel color for darker skin tones. You can find the brand/color/price that best fits your student. If ordering from Amazon, I recommend getting a couple different sizes to see what works best. Most character shoes you will need to go up a half size. OR you can go to a dance store and try some on so you know what size they will need. If you have any questions or will not be able to get the shoes, please let me know right away so we can help you out. Please bring the shoes to class as soon as you have them. We will start breaking them in right away.
Soul Men white Converse high top Due Jan. 6
Soul Men will be wearing a white high top Converse-type shoe for competition. The boys do not need name-brand Converse. Here is a link to an off brand that is affordable. These will be for competition only until the end of March. Please put their name in both shoes and send them into class as soon as they have them so they don’t get lost or dirty. We need to keep these clean so it’s really important that they don’t wear them around.
Studio Singer-Gold glitter tennis shoe.
Due Jan. 6 but order now. You need this exact shoe! Exact color. Do not wait to order as they could run out and we don’t want to risk it.
