Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the other choir programs have had to back out of the Region Boot camp event scheduled for this Saturday. As such, it is no longer possible for us to hold the event as planned and so I have decided to cancel it.

I apologize for this last minute change, and will put together an alternative plan for the future to introduce and teach the All-Region music to our students. If you received information about tomorrow's camp, please disregard it.

Thank you for your support, and again, I apologize for this change. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

This Saturday, all 7th/8th Grade Choir Students will be attending our 2nd annual CHISD Region Choir Bootcamp. This event is required for all 7th and 8th grade choir students and will serve as the kick-off for them learning the audition music for the All-Region Choir auditions in January.*

*If a student is unable to attend the bootcamp, please have a parent/guardian email Mr. Wheelock to be excused.

Boys will have their sectionals in the morning and will be served a pizza lunch prior to dismissal at Noon. Girls are invited to join us at Noon for the pizza lunch and will have their sectionals afterwards until 4 PM.

Location

Cedar Hill High School (1 Longhorn Dr. Cedar Hill, TX)

Last week in class all students recieved new sheet music for our next concert (Winter). We spent time in class working on writing in the correct markings for our part in the music. Each student was required to present these markings to Mr. Wheelock in class for a grade.

If a student did not have the markings completed, they recieved a zero in the gradebook for that week. This zero can be made up at any time by presenting finished markings to Mr. Wheelock.

Special Note: If a student fails to finish their music markings by the end of this week (and each subsequent week), they will receive a grade of zero for rehearsal procedures. This grade will reflect that the student did not correctly demonstrate rehearsal procedures that week and cannot be made up.

There will not be a MakeMusic Cloud assignment this week. We will resume MakeMusic Cloud Assignments next week.
