HGO High School Night at the Opera
High School Night at the Opera is THIS Tuesday, Feb. 6! All tickets have been sold and a waiting list has been created if any tickets become available. We will be taking a bus downtown on Tuesday, February 6th immediately following the school day to go to dinner downtown and see Madame Butterfly! Students must be in the choir room ready to go by 3:00pm to have plenty of time for students to eat dinner. Students will need to bring a change of clothes(must be VERY nice, like a fancy wedding event) on this day to change into immediately after school. Students will also need to bring money for dinner and the amount is dependent upon where they choose to go. There are many options around the theater with a large range of prices.
We will hopefully return back to TMHS around 11:00pm. The run time of Madame Butterfly is approximately 2 hours and 43 minutes, including one intermission

TMEA Convention
This week, Mr. Ragsdale and Ms. White will be gone Wednesday-Friday with our 3 Texas All-State Choir musicians! While directors are gone, students will be given a lesson plan with specific instructions, and a task to complete. This will likely be a video upload of pop show choreography and singing to the karaoke tracks. Students are expected to treat the subs with respect and to complete what is on the lesson plan.
Once again, congratulations to Jennifer Williamson, Abigail Acosta, and Colin Pinkasavage, our 3 Texas All-Staters!
