News for Everyone
Solo & Ensemble Updates
This information applies only to those students who signed up and paid an entry free to perform in the Solo & Ensemble Contest.
Solo and ensemble is a few weeks away on February 3rd at Hodges Bend MS. Our school's singing block is from 2-4 pm. Please reserve this time in your family schedule. I will set student individual singing times by the end of this week.
Solo Coachings: Students who do not have a private voice teacher are required to sign up for individual voice coachings with me. These will take place on January 23, 25, and 30. The sign up sheet is in the choir room for a time slot after school. Students may sign up for no more than 2 coachings.
Accompanist rehearsals: Mr. Tanner (our accompanist) will be at THS during the day to rehearse with students on Friday, January 26 and again on January 31. Students should have their solos learned and ready in preparation for these rehearsals.

The meeting begins at 6 pm and we will perform at the beginning. The bus will bring students back to THS following our performance.
