Post date: Dec 06, 2016 4:1:51 PM
Good morning students & parents!
Fantastic to see you students yesterday. Your good vocal habits are beginning to pay off and you’re performing with expression! The only tips I have for you are:
Exaggerate your facial expressions & loosen up... even more!
Tomorrow, Wednesday, we are in the Auditorium with lights & sound! Whee!
Friday morning, arrive having spoken & sung already. This is truly a make or break deal!
Stay healthy. Drink water. Drink more. Keep up on your school work. Get enough sleep.
FRIDAY MORNING 7:30/7:40 AM BEFORE SCHOOL ON THE RISERS!
You need to come warmed up, and PUT EVERYTHING AWAY IN YOUR LOCKERS FIRST! Then hustle downstairs. We will be wearing regular school clothes for the assembly. If you’d like to add scarves, hats, mittens- totally ok! We’ll have very little time to address any last minute changes & details. I beg you not to be late today. Again, please arrive early to put backpack & coats in lockers BEFORE reporting to the auditorium by 7:40 AT THE LATEST. The all-school assembly starts at 8:30am sharp. Here is the full morning schedule:
7:30-7:40 Arrival/ everything to lockers
7:40 SOUND CHECK ON RISERS (Chorale too)
8:15 Bathroom & return to side hall
8:20 Everyone in start positions (Ensemble in gym hall)
8:30-9:15 ASSEMBLY
Chorale will open with 3 songs. Enter the auditorium AS SOON AS you hear applause post “UGLY SWEATER”! You will sing two of your songs,then exit back out the side, down the side gym HALL to join your classes in the back of the auditorium. Let all the 5th & 6th graders into the auditorium before you join the Jr High, please. ***OH! BOYS who were going to help with Chorale boy’s sweaters: Thx, but we’ve got a different plan now.
FRIDAY EVENING 6:30pm ARRIVAL DETAILS
6:30PM ENSEMBLE WARM UP/ Praise & Prayer in TEACHERS LOUNGE
Auditorium Doors open
7:00PM CONCERT Same order & flow as the assembly. You’ll start in gym hall.
NEXT MONDAY 12/12 WE PARTY DURING CLASS!
~Thank you to the parents who have volunteered to send in treats & eats. You’re welcome to send those in the morning with your students (kitchen or Music Room)
~I will have performance video for you students & maybe some Christmas games as well.
NEXT WEDNESDAY 12/14
This is our last class officially together. We will be reading thru the LIon King script. For those of you in the cast, all your info is already on the website, HERE. Your ensemble cd has the LK music on it already. After I get a parent email of commitment & permission, I can give out LK cds to whoever may still need them. If you are uploading them for use, pls return cds to me, as we anticipate a very large 5-8th cast. Thanks!
PS. You. are. awesome.
Toodles ‘til tomorrow~ Mrs B
