The Music Man Tickets
Our last show of The Music Man! is Monday night at 7pm! After 3 sold out shows this weekend, this is a show you definitely do not want to miss! Get your tickets while you still can!
UIL Solo and Ensemble, Feb. 3
UIL Solo and Ensemble is Saturday, February 3. Times will be from 8:00am to approximately 12:30pm. Any student riding the bus must be at TMHS at 7:00am on Saturday morning. Students are welcome to drive themselves, but must arrive 30 minutes early to their time. Students may be picked up at the conclusion of their event, or may ride the bus back to TMHS.
A letter is below with information about the day. We will take a bus to College Park High School, but students are also welcome to drive as long as they are early for their assigned time.
Final schedules will be shared with students this week.
Dress in “Sunday-Best” or “Job Interview” clothing. Women, a dress, skirt or suit is appropriate. However, no mini-skirts, please. Men, slacks and a tie are a must. Blazer would be nice, but not necessary. No jeans or tennis shoes. You will not perform if you are not dressed appropriately. The expectations of a High School Performance are different than middle school. The judges want Professionalism and everyone to be “Dressed for Success”.
Your music must be memorized and you need to know how to pronounce your composer’s name. The judge will ask you what your song is about, so be prepared to answer.
Soloists will need to pay for their accompanist fee only. Fees are below and will be assigned in schoolcashonline carts this week. You may use points to pay for your accompanist fees.
Class 1 solo: $30
Class 2 solo: $30
Class 3 solo: $25
If you were submitted as part of a solo or ensemble but have been DNA'd, the fees to return back to TMHS choir are as follows and will be added to schoolcashonline carts this week, and following the contest pending any DNA's
Solo: $12
Ensemble member: $8
HGO High School Night at the Opera
High School Night at the Opera is coming soon, 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 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 head downtown right at 3:00 to be able to have plenty of time for students to eat dinner.
