Hello Choir Families,
Choir Olympics went very well this week. We had challenges in singing, dancing, and costume design and students made commercials for choir! We all had a blast and the kids were very creative. We celebrated a great year today with awards, food, and a slide show. Thank you for your generous donations of food and money for Kylie and Ms. Hills. This is the largest donation we have ever collected! Bravo everyone. Your children are going to need a lot of water and exercise this weekend to offset the massive amounts of sugar they consumed today.
Next week we will start our final project which will be to design a show choir set. Students will work in class to design and pitch a set they think we should do next year. I can’t wait to see what they come up with.
Costumes
We still have quite a few students in each class who have not returned their costumes. Some haven’t been taken home from competition and are in the classroom dirty :// Please turn them in clean ASAP so we can get everything put away for the year.
Shoes
We have several pair of character shoes left in the cubbies. If you want them for next year please take them home next week. Anything left will go into the donation bin for students needing shoes next year.
8th Grade Families
Dance auditions for high school are next week! Students who will be participating in choir will attend in person auditions on Tuesday (boys) and Thursday (girls) We will review the dance in class and they should also be prepared to also sing the Star Spangled Banner and America the Beautiful.
Eighth grade choir members will be singing for Promotion. We will review in class and will meet for a Sound Check 30 minutes before students are called to line up. Please plan accordingly when you are making arrangements for promotion.
You have been invited to participate in Bingo! This is a fun way to earn money for your child’s high school choir dues and it happens every Tuesday night at the Cypress Bingo Hall. Anyone over 21 can sign up to work and it goes all Summer. Go to losalmitoschoir.com to sign up. It’s under “Bingo” on the drop down menu on the right.
Sound Check
Our June 1st event has a time change. We will now be meeting at 4:00 for a 4:15 performance. We will be going to In and Out after the performance for dinner and one last hang. Our last day of class for Sound Check will be May 30th.
