Forbush Middle School Chorus!
Update for the week of May 14th, 2023
Hello everyone and a Happy Mothers Day to all of the amazing mothers who support their students in the chorus program! Here are all of the FMS Chorus reminders and updates for the week, and there's a lot! And there’s a new big thing at the end of the letter. So please read!
Tuesday, May 16th- 6th and 7th Grade Chorus Concert!
Tuesday night is the 6th and 7th grade chorus concert at FMS at 7 pm. We will be using the same black and white concert attire from December. There is no fee to get in, but a donation of $5 for anyone middle school age or older is recommended as that is used as the cost of other school events such as various sports. Students need to be at the school for vocal warm ups at 6:30, but I am going to ask that we don’t have anyone show up earlier than 6. We could still use some people to help out with set up after school or with donating some baked goods for the bake sale at the concert. If you are available to help, please sign up via the Sign Up Genius link.
Thursday, May 18th- FMS and FHS Band Concert!
Friday, May 19th- 8th Grade Chorus and FHS Chorus Concert!
Friday night is the 8th Grade and FHS Chorus concert at 7 pm at Enon Baptist Church. Again, concert attire is the same black and white. Like the 6th/7th grade concert, there is no fee but a $5 donation is recommended. 8th grade students will have a final after school rehearsal on Friday after school at the church as it is the only time that we can rehearse in the performance space. Students are welcome to have parents drive them over to the church after school, and there will also be an activity bus for students. Students will need to either bring their concert attire with them to school that day or have a parent who can drop that off at the church by 5:30. Students who wish to ride the activity bus need to fill out the online permission slip form.
We will be providing pizza for dinner that night since the students are not going home before the concert. We are still looking for parents to help out the night of the concert with the following;
Donating paper products (plates, napkins)
Donating drinks (cans of soda/water bottles)
Helping to serve pizza for dinner at the church
Helping to supervise changing spaces as the kids change into concert attire at the church.
If you are donating one of the above items, please send them in with a student this week in advance so that I can keep track of what we have.
