Hello Choir Families,
This week we took a deep dive into rhythm during our music theory time. Students got to work with rhythm boards to learn how to count and perform various rhythmic patterns. Today, all of the groups performed and filmed their sets and we critiqued the performances to see what we need to work on for our November show. They are looking great.
Los Al Choir Concert
Several students went with us to see the high school choir concert on Wednesday which was a treat as always. Students can get extra credit for going to see the show tonight or tomorrow. Balcony seats are only $10 with a student ID.
Shout Outs!
Students of the month for September go to Aurianne, Aubrey K., and Tristen!
Musical auditions were this week and several of our students were cast! Shout outs to Kaitlynn, Slater, Susanna, Simone, Jane, Meara, Gabby, and Teddy! Can’t wait to come support you in “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown”.
Lip Sync Battle
Submissions are due Monday at 11:59! It’s not too late to put something together. Be sure to volunteer to help or donate if you are able.
McGaugh Carnival
Sound Check has been asked to sing at the McGaugh Carnival at 11:55 on Oct. 18th. They will wear their choir t-shirts and jackets with dark pants. We will meet by the stage at 11:45-please allow time for traffic and parking.
Costumes
Costumes for the Broadway show will be due in class on Friday Oct. 24. Be sure to start looking for those pieces and let me know if you need help finding things. Students will also need a garment bag that is labeled with their name. Here is a link if you need to know what to look for. The more unique the bag is, the easier it will be to find on the rack. I encourage them to decorate their bag with duck tape or paint to make it stand out. Students may also use a duffle bag but it must zip closed. No back packs or totes please.
