5-5-16 Next Year Opportunities for Incoming 7 & 8th

Post date: May 05, 2016 10:24:52 PM

Good afternoon parents of 7th and 8th graders~

Two weeks ago, a large cast of 5th-6th-7th-8th graders presented our biggest musical production yet, “Aladdin!”. Since then, many of your children have been asking about the 7/8th Christmas Ensemble and the Spring Musical for next year. Today at carpool, we revealed next year’s musical, “The Lion King!” Although club information will go out in the fall, I’d like to share with you what is planned. Parents of 6th graders, this is a big change for your family, as your student will now have the opportunity to participate in music electives during the school day as a scheduled class!

TERM 1: CHRISTMAS ENSEMBLE ON MONDAYS/WEDNESDAYS Last fall we had a record breaking thirty-six 7th & 8th graders singing! We were delighted to step away from rehearsals during lunches, breaks, all over the place. No more rushing, hallelujah! I’m so excited to raise the bar once again with this designated rehearsal time. It’s awesome to expand the musicianship & performance skills of these older students. They are maturing and capable of so much. I cannot wait to get started with this group next fall. Many students have already expressed interest and I am not putting a limit on enrollment. Click ENSEMBLE HERE for next year’s 2016 Schedule. So you are aware, sign-ups for first term elective classes will be on the very first day of school.

TERMS 2 & 3: “The Lion King” MUSICAL ON MONDAYS/WEDNESDAYS: 7th and 8th grade cast members will rehearse during school day electives. It is a two-term commitment (Jan-April). Participation requires a parent signature due to some mandatory after school rehearsals. Again, I’m delighted to have actual rehearsal time with our older students. I’m amazed how God has blessed us with talented and eager students who get better and better, year after year. Their growth both in skills and enthusiasm has been a joy to watch. God continues to provide parent help that allows us to tackle such big musical extravaganzas! Although student registration for the musical elective will not be until November, dates and information are available now on the music website (HERE).

I am delighted to give both of these musical opportunities to our older students who continue to show a love for the performing arts. Thank you for talking through these options with your fabulous kids!

WE GET TO DO THIS! For His glory~
