Pride of Parsons Chorus
🎵🐾 Pride of Parsons Chorus 🐾🎵
Calling 4th & 5th grade students to join the Pride of Parsons Chorus! Students will develop singing technique and music skills by learning and memorizing a variety of songs. We will share our learning with performances for our community. Chorus will meet on Thursday mornings from 7:50 am until 8:30 am and we will have 2 performances throughout the semester. I am so excited to have 50 spots open for chorus, 25 for 4th graders and 25 for 5th graders (these are filled based on the first 25 complete forms that are turned in for each grade). If you are interested in signing your student up for Chorus, please read through and sign-off on the form below together. Forms are due back Tuesday, September 6th and we will start Thursday September 8th. I look forward to making music with the chorus students this year! https://forms.gle/SFA6dEPJghVNK8s96
