Hello Rio Vista choir families!

I wanted to take time to share the following information to our choir parents. Our website has been updated to include information on the following:

• Rio Vista Choir T-Shirts: They are finally ready for order! Information will be given to each of our choir members on September 14th. Each student will be given an order form+envelope. $25 dollars per shirt. Final Payments must be received by Thursday, September 30th.

• Calendar Updates: The "November Fresno City Choir Performance" (Concert Singers/Period 2) is currently pending based on information from the host. Fresno City College, the host of the festival has been determining campus visits based on vaccination statuses (which is difficult to determine for visiting choirs from around the valley). Additionally, Central Unified School District's Visual and Performing Arts district has asked that all field trips be suspended based on the grounds of: funds, available bus drivers, and COVID-restrictions. Mr. Sanchez will determine the status of this performance by September 17th (Friday).

• FMCMEA Honor Choir: Information has been posted on the Rio Vista website and calendar. Students interested in FMCMEA Honor Choir must be approved by Mr. Sanchez. This is open to both choirs.

• Choir Uniforms/Dresses (Period 2 Concert Singers Only): Choir Uniforms will be assigned and distributed during the week of September 27th. Please review the choir uniform page on our Rio Vista Website. Each member was provided a uniform contract in their handbook. We will be using our choir uniforms for our December 8th Performance and Spring Festivals.

Thank you for your continued support this year!

Sincerely,

Mr. Sanchez
