Hello Choir Families,
It is officially comp season and we are full steam ahead! We’ve had an exciting week and got lots of information. I’ve included links to all of the handouts I gave the kids this week. Please look it over everything and add these events to your home calendars. I am calendaring with the students every Monday so all of this should be in their Minder Binders.
Xtreme Rehearsal-Soul Men
Monday the boys will go to the high school to rehearse with Xtreme in preparation for the All District Choral Festival. This is a mandatory event and they need to wear their choir t-shirt. Students may walk over after school and will be finished by 5:00.
Burbank Blast Friday March 6th-Studio Singers and Soul Men
Students need to bring their costumes back to school by Thursday next week along with their choir t-shirt.
Students will report to the choir room 5th period to get ready. We will load busses at 1:45 and head to Burbank. We will return to McAuliffe around 10:00. Here is detailed information about the night. https://docs.google.
