Holiday Concert moved to December 17th, Tuesday at Ellison High School at 7pm

Hey Everyone!
We have moved the Holiday Concert to Tuesday, December 17th at 7pm.  Concert will be at Ellison High School again. 

We moved the concert because of basketball conflict.  So there is no concert on December 5th. It is on the 17th!

Girls will wear black dresses if they are in 7/8th grade.  Please remind you student to come by and get fitted.  I have been sending the dresses home with an attached note.  Remember that the girls will also need black flat shoes.

Boys in 7/8th grade will wear tux shirts, bow ties and cumerbunds.  These have been checked out to the boys.  Please read the attached notes.  I will be sending them home with the shirts and other items soon. Remember they also need to have black pants, black belt, and black shoes.

6th grade students will wear their choir t-shirt and jeans.

Your kids are awesome and precious!  Have a blessed week!

Mandatory Fall Concert

Hey Choir!
Our first concert is this week!

PLACE:  Ellison High School.. Please park in front of the auditorium and go into the building and find your assigned seat when you arrive. We will be sitting in concert row order so we can get on and off the stage easily as a group.

TIME & DATE:  Thursday, October 17th.  The concert starts at 7:30 with the 6th grade students performing first.  Please be in your seat by 7:15 at the latest......

DRESS:  
6th grade boys/girls : jeans and your new choir t-shirt.  Please tuck in your shirt
              
7/8 Men : any combination of BLACK, White, or Grey.

Period 3 - 7/8 Concert Women:  Dark colors - pants or dress or skirt. NO HIGH HEELS.

Period 4 7/8 Women:  Fall/Halloween colors - pants, shirt, dress, or skirt. NO HIGH HEELS.

GRADE:  This is a mandatory concert.  Students will receive a summative grade for this concert.  This is their final test for the 9 weeks.
There will be three grades given. 1-Attendance, (did you arrive on time and stay the entire time) 2-Participation (singing on stage) 3-Audience Etiquette (did you conduct yourself in an appropriate manner while at the concert). 
Students are expected to be on time, sing their best, and remain in the audience until the concert is over.  If a student leaves after they perform they will receive a "0" for audience etiquette portion, therefore earning a grade of 66 for the concert.  Please do not take your student after they perform unless you have an emergency.

we will be in full attire for our Christmas Concert on December 5th. This means the women will be in their black dresses with new scarves and guys in their tux shirts.  I will be sending home information about this very soon.
