Weekly update for the Chorus at Austin Middle School
Happy New Year Edition
We are ready to jump back into all things chorus!
Each grade level will be spending this 9 weeks preparing for our Large Group Performance Evaluation (LGPE) performance at the end of March. It will be a field trip during the school day. More info will be sent out about this at a later time. Students in all three grade levels will be preparing 2 pieces to be judged, as well as working intensely on their music literacy skills.
Paulding County Honor Chorus, Sixth Grade Statewide, and All-State Chorus all occur during this 9 weeks as well. It's going to be a busy one! As always, if you have any questions, please let me know!
Have a great weekend!
Musically Yours,
Mrs. Patrick
Paulding County Honor Chorus
January Rehearsal Schedule:
Tuesday, January 7th until 4:30
Thursday, January 8th until 4:30
We are on the home stretch for honor chorus rehearsals. It is very important that you attend as many rehearsals as you can. Learning the music is your responsibility, so if you aren't able to make it to rehearsals, you must still take the time to learn it!!!!
The Paulding County Honor Chorus event is Thursday, Jan 30 (in the evening) and Friday, Jan 31 (during the school day) with the concert on the evening of the 31st at 7:00pm.
Sixth Grade Statewide Honor Chorus
