Choir Calendars
All students received their choir calendars a few weeks ago. Please ask your 6th grader for their LAVENDER calendar and your 7th or 8th grader for their BLUE calendar. Click HERE for an electronic version (7/8th grades, scroll down).
6th GRADE NEWS
Treble Rehearsal
Because our 6th grade treble choir is across two class periods (5th and 8th), we need to join together to rehearse once before the concert. It is essential we have everyone so we can get placement on the risers correct and for students to hear what it sounds like with more students in the choir.
Our rehearsal is the morning of our concert, October 8 from 8:20-8:50am.
This is a graded, mandatory event for which there is no make up assignment. Please reach out with any special situations.
7th & 8th GRADE NEWS
Cluster Concert: October 3rd
On Thursday, October 3rd, all 7th and 8th grade students will taking a field trip to First Baptist Church Lewisville for our combined rehearsal with McKamy, Shadow Ridge, and FMHS. We will meet in the cafeteria at 8:45am and load the busses at 9am. Students need to wear their new Choir shirts and extra deodorant to school that day. We will return at the end of 3rd period. Students must make up missed work from their classes.
For the concert that evening, 7th and 8th grade students need to arrive at First Baptist Church, Lewisville at 5:30pm in their Choir Shirt and JEANS.

All Region
Students wishing to audition for All Region can come to sectionals (calendar found here) if they would like extra help. Also available is our FREE LISD All Region Camp to learn the music and feel prepared! This music is challenging and will require a good amount of individual work at home. We are not teaching all the repertoire in every class, especially in 3rd and 7th periods. Students should practice on their own at home with the practice tracks and in their private lessons.
If your student would like to attend the camp, REGISTER HERE by Sept. 20.
The teal All Region Commitment Contract went home this week and is due back by Sept. 13.
