PERFORMANCE THIS FRIDAY: National Anthem at the CHS Home Game
Fri, Sept 29: CHS Chorus, Chestatee Academy, Sardis & McEver Choruses singing the National Anthem at the CHS vs. Madison County Game (students meet at 5:50pm in the chorus room). FREE Admission for Chorus members.
Support our program with a purchase at the KONA Ice Truck!
Although this is not a required performance, it's a great way to earn a service hour and serve our Chestatee Commmunity! We are hosting all of the choruses (middle & elementary) in our Chestatee cluster to sing the National Anthem before the game starts. The Kona Ice Truck will be there and they'll donate a portion of the sales of our program!
We will plan to meet the choruses the cafeteria at 6:15 to gather, warm-up, and run through the anthem a few times. Students who are performing will get into the game for free, but family & friends will still need to pay to get in to the game. Here is our timeline for the evening:
o 5:50p: CHS Chorus members meet in the chorus room (unless the student is in band, guard, or cheer... they will just meet us on the field)
o 6:15p: meet the other choruses in the cafeteria for practice
o 6:55p: leave to walk to the field
o 7:00p: get in position on the track in front of the field (this will take several minutes)
o 7:18p: perform the National Anthem
Fundraiser
We'll wrap up our fundrasier on October 15th. So far, things are going well! Here's a testmonial from a chorus parent shortly after they shared the graphic on their social media:
"I was skeptical about the fundraiser on social media but longtime friends are jumping on it. It’s been up a little over an hour and she’s already raised $104. Wow!"
