Hello Choir Families!
We had a very eventful day today. Dancing pirates, boomwhackers, celebrity sightings, and even a singing carrot. I posted some fun photos on Google Classroom for you all to check out. Have a fun Halloween and stay dry out there!
Last Day to preorder!
Today is the last day to order buttons and break-a-legs for the concert. Go to McAuliffeChoir.com. Tickets are also on sale now and are going fast. Be sure to order this weekend.
FNL/Concert Conflicts
I am aware that many of our families are participating in FNL. There might be conflicts with our show on Friday and we appreciate you prioritizing the concert. We will have a sold out show and our students have worked really hard for months preparing for this event. Students also receive a grade for participating in the show. It is similar to a unit test or a final except there is no legitimate way to make up for it. If you know of a conflict, please email me right away. We ask for 2 weeks notice so we can fill holes and account for missing soloists and partners. Notifying us this weekend will only give us a couple of days in rehearsal to figure it out. If you can make your game and rush over to McGaugh in time to perform, please try to make that happen.
On Broadway Information Sheet

Dress Rehearsal Nov. 4-bus to McGaugh after school in costume. Parent pick up from McGaugh 5:45-6:00
Concerts Nov. 5/6-volunteers check in 5:45, students in rooms by 6:00, show starts 6:30, show ends 8:15-8:30
The students will be very well prepared for the performance part of this event and I have no concerns that the audience will love it. The behavior and preparedness off stage can be concerning. I do what I can to prepare them for any situation but they will need to be ready to adapt and to hold their peers accountable if someone is doing something inappropriate. This is not our campus and we need to be very respectful of that.
On Broadway Volunteers We Need You!

We are still in need of volunteers for the concert. If you’ve been waiting to sign up until you get your tickets, the time has come! Please sign up this weekend so our boosters can relax.

Music Bingo! November 17th 5:30-7:30 at Griffin Grill
McAuliffe Choir will be hosting our first ever Music Bingo night. Griffin Grill has agreed to host us and give us a share of the food sales. All of the money we raise through bingo will go directly back to the program. We will play several rounds so if you can’t make it right at 5:30 you can catch a later round. I sent a flyer on Wednesday and would love it if you could share that on Social Media to get the word out. Students cannot purchase or sell bingo cards but they can eat food and help the adults mark their cards! I’m really looking forward to hearing you all belt out the classics as we mark our bingo cards!
