AMS Chorus News
Weekly update for the Chorus at Austin Middle School
Week 21 Edition
Hope everyone enjoyed the 3 day weekend and is ready to hit the ground running this week.
Please see the news for information regarding honor chorus rehearsals, preliminary info about Paulding County Fine Arts Day, and our Pre-LGPE concert.
Each class has been working on their music for LGPE while reinforcing their music literacy skills. Students will be taking a singing test this week on the material we've been working on in class. Students will begin taking the test on Wednesday, but all students will not be finished until the end of the week. (It takes a few days to get through everyone in the class.)
Have a great week!
Musically Yours,
Mrs. Patrick
Paulding County Honor Chorus

Paulding County Fine Arts Day
It is a fabulous day of celebrating the fine and performing arts in Paulding County. All proceeds from the event go back to the arts in Paulding.
At this time, our plan is for 7th and 8th grade to sing during the South Cluster performance time which is from 11am-12pm. Please set this time aside on your calendar. More details will be forthcoming as we get closer to the date. (I also realize that this is the same weekend as the 8th grade History Club field trip.)
