REHEARSAL ON THURSDAY, OCT 17 HAS BEEN CANCELLED! (I just found out I must attend a training that day and will not be back in time to hold rehearsal.) Remember that these rehearsals should just be a "check in" to see how you are doing. The "work" really should be done on your own. Practice your solo, sing your scales, practice the sight reading examples.
Rehearsal dates are:
Wednesday, October 23 until 4:30
Wednesday, October 30 until 4:30
Friday, November 1 until 4:30
Monday, November 4 until 4:30 (last rehearsal before auditions)
Audition are Saturday, November 9th at Woodland High School in Cartersville, GA. Times will be sent from GMEA approximately a week before the audition. Your audition time can fall anywhere between 8am and 2pm. Parents: please be prepared to wait. Bring a book. Some headphones for music. Bring your patience. It is a long process and can sometimes take awhile. They do serve concessions - consider having cash with you.

Your Choral Director, Mrs. Shelley Patrick
When not at school, I spend time with my husband Mike, and my two children, Daniel (a junior), and Molly (8th grade). I'm originally from Orlando, Florida and I spend several weeks a year visiting with family, visiting the theme parks, and going to the beach. I also spend my spare time reading, and spending time with my friends and family.
