I had a good time, and I hope you did too! - Thank you to everyone who participated in the Tailgate, and a big thank you to our parent volunteers! The food was great!

Fall Concert – Required/Test Grade Date: October 1, 2024 Location: Brookwood Theatre Performance Time: 6pm; seating opens for the audience by 5:50pm. Call Time for students: Students will need to report in concert uniform for warm-up by 5:15pm. Cell phone usage is strictly prohibited during the concert. Fall Dress Rehearsal – Required/Test Grade Date: September 30, 2024 Location: Brookwood Theatre Time: 2:25pm-5pm. The vast majority of students will *not* need to stay for the entire rehearsal time. Approximately one week prior to the rehearsal, I will send out a schedule based on the progress we make in class over the next couple of weeks. 2nd period students will more than likely be released prior to 4pm; 3rd period students released prior to 4:20pm; 4th & 5th period students will be released prior to 4:30pm. Chorale students will be released last. Stay tuned for a more exact schedule. Cell phone usage is strictly prohibited during all rehearsals. Students do not need to wear formal concert attire for the dress rehearsal. Uniform Update If your child ordered uniform pieces, some pieces were distributed in class on Thursday, September 5. The rest will be distributed on Monday, September 9. Try the uniform as soon as you get it! If you need to make an exchange, bring back the piece that needs to be returned in pristine condition, & in the original packaging. You will need to bring a note with the student's name, purchaser's name, and what size you need in exchange. Bring exchange items to class on Tuesday, September 10, 2024. Sorry, no late exchanges. Do you still need to order something? Click here. I would order with at least 2 weeks lead time before the concert so that it hopefully makes it to you in time. Don’t know what you’re supposed to wear? Click here for the requirements. Remember: Hemming dresses/pants, black socks & black shoes are your responsibility. Tennis shoes, sneakers, boots, flip flops, sandals, etc. are NOT appropriate for formal concert attire. Don’t forget Chorus dues… Have you paid your chorus dues?
