February Choir Events
Busy Preparing for UIL
Your choir student has already been hard at work honing their sight reading skills in class. We just finished group projects where they worked in groups of 2-4 and wrote 8 measures of sight reading music. They transferred that to a large poster board and have been "teaching" their work to the class each day. I have been very impressed with the teaching as well as the participation from the whole class. We will be SO ready for UIL!!
West Choir night at RHS Musical!!
Thursday, February 4th West Choir students have the opportunity to attend the musical as a "group" and sit in the $10 reserved seats for the discounted special rate of $5. We must have 20 students to get the discounted rate. Those who wish to grab a bite to eat before the show can meet at Wing Bucket at 5:30 and we'll walk over to RHS. Bring your own food money. Bring $5 for ticket by Feb. 2nd.

West JH had 9 students audition for All Region Choir on Saturday Jan. 23rd. ALL of our students had really good auditions among the hundreds of students from Region 3 who also auditioned. We had 6 students earn the honor to be a part of the All Region Choir.

Eligibility for UIL
The current 6 weeks (4th six weeks) determines eligibility to participate in UIL Concert and Sight Reading Contest. Every voice matters and I would love to have every student be able to experience being a part of earning the reward of weeks of preparation and hard work. The end of the 6 weeks is February 11th so please encourage your student to attend tutoring and turn in all work to reflect what they are ALL capable of. 5th and 6th six weeks grades will determine eligibility for Pop Show solos and Six Flags trip. Those students who are eligible to go to UIL and participate will get to go to Jump Street on March 29 as a reward for stepping up!
