11-10-15 Merrily We Roll Along!

Post date: Nov 11, 2015 12:45:38 AM

HAPPY HOLIDAYS ARE ALMOST HERE!

Well friends, things have been rolling along the last couple of weeks. We are having a grand old time at rehearsals, dancing the minutes away. It is however, the proverbial calm before the storm- fair warning! We have quite a bit to accomplish towards being performance ready. Our November After School Practice is next Tuesday, the 17th. Please help your child be successful by clearing schedules so they can rehearse fully with the group. I appreciate your efforts very much! Besides those monthly after school times, we only have short, limited rehearsals during lunch recess. That’s just 17 minutes a week! Please join me in praying that God would multiply our time and that our hearts would remain focused on pursuing excellence for Him!

CURRENT REMINDERS FOR YOUR KIDDOS PLEASE:

-LYRICS should now all memorized. Boys work on Xmas Eve Constantly lyrics!

-CHOREOGRAPHY practiced at home & danced with joyful expression (mirrors!)

-NEXT WEEK is our last week: Mon & Wed lunch rehearsals & Tuesday after school!

-HALLELUJAH CHORUS We are all tackling the tough parts of Handel’s masterpiece in music classes. Chorale cd track 12 is the 6M & 5R part. Track 13 belongs to 6J and 5P. Please encourage your child to take a listen, or start a carpool choir of your own! I thank you!

Wow! I think that’s plenty enough to chew on!

Finally today, thank you to the many of you who have served our country. Your sacrifice is appreciated. With much respect and gratitude,
