FIFTY-NINE ARE MIGHTY FINE!

That’s right! Fifty-nine 5th & 6th graders are singing and dancing with joy to honor our Lord! We have had a great first full week of rehearsals. Thanks for your prayers and support. The next few weeks are rather low-key, as our rehearsals will only be held during lunch recesses. Our next COMBINED AFTER SCHOOL REHEARSAL IS TUESDAY, OCT. 22nd. Please make that date a priority as we will be fine tuning a lot of music and doing some major choreography.

After School Academy is available for Chorale siblings or members who need care on our once-a-month rehearsal days. Please contact Nancy Howell, nancy.howell@whcs.org for information. Please be mindful that students are not allowed to be unattended on campus. Safety first! Also, Chorale members not picked up promptly after rehearsals will be checked into ASA.

Rehearsal cds- Please encourage your child to listen to them frequently. Our short, fast and furious 17 minute lunch rehearsals are simply not enough. And our music folders need to stay at school. Occasionally I send home lyric sheets & ask for specific songs to be memorized by specific dates. Actually, two lyric sheets went home this past week!

T-shirts have now been ordered. I will let you know when they arrive. Please do not let your student wear them to school until our first official Chorale T-shirt Day & After School Rehearsal, October 22nd! That day, kids are allowed to wear them proudly to school all day & to rehearsal! We will be taking a group photo. Otherwise, please keep your student’s shirt as a “special” article of clothing. We will be wearing them for Washington Square, the Wheel to Walk Event, and our evening Christmas Concert.

Black pants are needed for all Chorale members. Black socks and shoes are the footwear of choice (nice black tennis shoes, without neon logos are fine for boys). This uniform look is brilliant on stage. We want to represent Christ and West Hills Christian School well!

Unpaid Chorale Fees are still being collected. Please make checks out to WHCS. $30.00 covers the entire year of Chorale: music, cds, t-shirts, costumes, parties, etc. Thank you for taking care of this detail as soon as possible!

Please subscribe to Chorale updates on this website page, UPDATES. Don’t miss a thing!

Wishing you cozy moments during this blustery fall weekend!
