Don't Miss These Important Rehearsals

Dear Parents,

I am enjoying our early morning practices with your children this year.  Thank you for having them there on time and ready.  Having them rested, fed, and still a little sleepy, is really paying off in the quality of our rehearsals.  I am very proud of all of the children.

Can you believe that we only have four more early morning rehearsals before the Tree Lighting Concert at Casa Linda on Wednesday, November 28?  We will have two after school rehearsals with all of our choirs on Monday, November 26 from 3:30-4:30; and on Wednesday, November 28 (the day of the concert) from 3:30-4:15. Please mark your calendars.  These remaining rehearsals are very important. 

If your child is new to choir, or has outgrown a choir shirt, please let me know.  I will be placing an order for shirts very soon.  Please return the form below and $10 cash before Friday, November 9^th.  If you want to order a shirt for yourself, the adult sizes are $12.  In addition to the black choir shirt, the children wear khaki bottoms:  a skirt or slacks.  These can be khaki uniform bottoms.

In addition to the Tree Lighting ceremony, we will be taking a select group of students to Northpark Mall and to a recording session on Tuesday, December 6^th.  This is an all-day field trip.  To be eligible for this field trip, singers must:

1.       Be passing all classes

2.       Have excellent behavior in all classes.  All teachers will help to decide if the child is eligible.

3.       Have NO unexcused absences at choir rehearsals.  Please call, text or email Ms. Brown if your child will miss choir due to sickness or other emergency.

4.       Have all music memorized.

I am still working on the date for our school concert and our annual visit to Autumn Leaves Retirement Home.

Just found this You Tube video.  Improve on the pronunciation and pitch but see how cute their choreography is.  Everyone watching the director and following with the hand motions.  Try it!

Practice Site

Showbiz Snowman.  This is a choir singing the song we have been practicing for the past several weeks in choir.  You will be better than this choir because you will pronounce your words whttp://youtu.be/C4a8Mx5CMhkith long tall vowels, you will add dynamic (louds and quiets), and you will be adding choreography.  But you can still practice the words and music here:  http://youtu.be/C4a8Mx5CMhk

More to come!!

Christmas Tree Lighting November 28

Mark your calendars for our first holiday
concert of the season:

All choirs will be joining together to sing for the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Event in Casa Linda Plaza, Wednesday, November 28 from 5-7.  Plan to come out and support our Sanger musicians and help to spread some Alex Sanger joy in our neighborhood.

Handy Man or Woman needed in the Music Room

Here is a shout out for some help for our music room:

I have completed the curtain toppers for the music room.  Is there anyone with an electric drill who could help me hang them, and possibly some simple blinds?

Also, if that drill has a screwdriver attachment, our benches could use some tightening up, and there is one section of the room that still needs painting.  I have the supplies.

Please let me know if you have time after school or during the day to help us finish out our pretty music room.

Thank you.
Mrs. Brown
