ACU Region Choir Audition Workshop
We are proud of you for spending a Saturday to invest in your skill development!

SATURDAY: Get Fit Day/Full Service Saturday
Another important day in getting the year off on the right foot is our "Get Fit" Day/Full Service Saturday. This will take place throughout the day on Saturday, September 21, in the CHS Choir Hall. Students will have a specific hour-long window of time to go through the line and get everything taken care of. Please make every possible effort to have your child present on this day.
We will have an assembly line setup to quickly and efficiently take care of the following items:
- Finances - the final round of collections for the Activity Fee, Polo Shirt Fee, and/or any other payments that you may wish to make on that day.
- Spring Trip - Complete the necessary paperwork and make your trip deposit payment to secure a spot on the spring trip.
- Booster Club - final chance to pay memberships and order items. We'll also kick-off our Booster Club Sponsorships on that day.
- Uniforms - With the help of our parent volunteers, students will be fitted for their choir dress/tuxedo that they will wear all year.
Here is the schedule:
- 9-10 - Chorale Women
- 10-11 - Bella Voce Women
- 11-12 - Concert Ladies Orange (6th Period)
- 12-1 - Concert ladies Blue (7th Period)
- 1-2 - Chorale Men
- 2-3 - Men's Choir

RECAP: CHS Open House & Choir Parent Meeting
In the meantime, if you were unable to make it last week, please make sure you review the information below.
CHS Choir Booster Club
First, consider joining the booster club. Dues are $10 per family and you just need to turn-in a membership form with your dues by Full Service Saturday. Joining the booster club also allows you to be able to purchase several items for your student like a uniform bag, yard sign, etc. You also get your family's name printed in the concert programs.
Second, consider serving as an officer. We have multiple positions available for people to serve as they are able. Most of our officers also work jobs, so don't think that you have to have a lot of time. There are places for even the busiest of parents to contribute. We will even create positions for people that have the desire to help. We are only limited by our imagination and the willingness of parents to get involved. If you are interested in helping in a leadership position, please send me an email before Tuesday afternoon.
The membership and booster merchandise order form is directly below this.
Texas Value Cards Fundraiser
