Locked In π
Virtuosos is a select group of Musical 6th through 8th graders who want to be involved in the musical performances at MC!! πΆ We meet to rehearse for upcoming performances, and work on whatever musical pursuits students are into! πΈπ€Β We are meeting Wednesdays after school from 2:40-3:40 and during 6/7 recess! πΒ
Thank you for your commitment and work towards sharing the Love through music!! β£οΈΒ
Important Info!! ππ―
We have our first lowkey performance this Thursday, 9/24, at the Backyard Bash!!Β πΆ The event runs from 5-7, but we will meet at the live music area by the little basketball hoop on the blacktop at 5:45 pm to watch a couple older students perform first, including one of our own Virtuosos, then be ready toΒ meet up with students from my other two after school performing ensembles (Junior Jam & Slam Jam)sing, dance, and play percussion instruments to the World Cup song "Dai Dai" at 6:00 pm!!Β If you are not able to come to the Backyard Bash this year, or even if you're at another booth at the event, it's ok!! It's just going to be a fun way to join up and kick off the school year together as a musical family!! π
Also, students have been really wanting some extra practice, particularly since I've been out sick recently - so we're going to have a voluntary rehearsal on Thursday before the event, 2:40 - 4:00 pm, for all three groups combined!!Β Any students who want to attend can come, please reply to this email and let me know! Then students can go home and return for the Backyard Bash (the event starts at 5) or if they want to stay and help set up for the Bash, let me know that, as well!! π
Ohh, I also said students could try to wear green and yellow for the Backyard Bash!!Β If you don't have green and yellow, they can wear black or white - or if they forget, it's no big deal! ππ

The Next Level - Vocal Opportunities in the Community! πΆΒ
This is an incredible, culturally relevant, inspirational performance ensemble!! ππ Think Miss Lyza style but times ten π... This organization partners with local artists and puts on powerful community performances!! π¦Ύ We worked with the Director last year at Honor Choir, we partnered with them last year for their Song Party, and this Aurora ensemble will be directed by a very good friend of mine, Mr. James Jenson!! β£οΈΒ They just started an ensemble here in Aurora, and it would be fabulous to get some of our students involved!! π€ They usually require a fee, but there are tons of scholarships, and I know they're really trying to get the Aurora location going so they'll be accepting lots of singers without fees!! π Please consider this amazing opportunity - I'll come support you at your concerts!! π
