9-19-19 Chorale news- We're off & running!

Post date: Sep 19, 2019 5:29:42 PM

Hello Chorale parents!

FIRST THE FACTS:

* There are 43 Chorale members already! That’s over half of our total 4th & 5th graders!

* This coming Tuesday, September 24th is our first monthly after school rehearsal, 3:05-4:00 pm

* Girls continue to rehearse at lunch recess on Mondays; Boys at lunch recess on Wednesdays.

IMPORTANT DETAILS:

* Again, this coming Tuesday, September 24th is our first monthly AFTER SCHOOL rehearsal, 3:05-4:00 p.m. I will finish right at 4:00 sharp.

* DISMISSAL & PICK UP @ 4PM will be at the red doors on the northside of our building, between the auditorium and gym. We will load your cars with these budding stars starting at the top of the hill, so please pull forward, a la carpool style with your name signs visible. For safety reasons I will not be dismissing students to walk thru the parking lot. Thanks for helping me in this safety matter. I would like to also thank you for being on time for pickup. Last year’s parents rocked this! Students who are not picked up will be checked into After School Academy @ 4:15, resulting in a small charge. Chorale students need to be supervised after rehearsals if staying on campus for any amount of time. They may not be left unsupervised to watch games or play on the playground. Thanks ahead of time for emails (by noon please) regarding plans for your student to go directly to ASA, to drive home with another family, or to be “handed over” to another parent supervisor. Your child’s safety is my top concern.

* I cannot express to you how important these few once-a-month after school rehearsals are. A handful of minutes at lunch recess is simply not enough. Thank you for making this monthly commitment a priority. Our goal is to honor the Lord with excellence and I appreciate your sacrifice of time and effort!

* Cds of our Chorale tunes have been given to all members to make memorization easier! There are extra selections only 5th graders will be performing. The kids know which are which. Happy sing-a-long times!

* Lyric sheets will also be given and are available on the Chorale Page of the WHCS Music website. You can also refer to that website page for updates, schedules, music, etc.

* Heads up regarding “Uniforms” All Chorale members will need black pants, black shoes & socks for our December performances (nice black tennis shoes ok). Shirts (for those who need them) have been ordered & will be provided asap. Chorale shirts always count as spirit wear and we will all wear them Tuesday, October 22nd, our T-shirt debut day and monthly after school rehearsal. So fun!

THANK YOU!

I appreciate your prayers as I interact with your children. Big plans. Big expectations this fall. Big God we serve! It’s a privilege to come along side of your family here at WHCS. May we bring honor to Him during our Chorale rehearsals and performances!

Thanks so very much y’all! Have a fantastic weekend- it’s coming soon!
