Fall Concert RSVP link – http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/86HR676

Parents, family, and friends,

We are presenting our first Lake Ridge Choir concert in the PAC at Lake Ridge.  This will be a wonderful space for us and will provide a tie-in with our campus.  However, I am worried about having enough seating.  I do not want there to be a standing room situation, and it is important for the students to hear each other as well.

So we are having two shows on Monday, October 29 – the same music both times – at 7:00 and 7:40 pm.  There will also be a small reception in the cafeteria at those same times.  So you can come at 7:00 and eat first or listen first!
To make sure there is an audience for both shows and still room for everyone, I am asking that you get a ticket – a FREE ticket – for the show you want to attend.  This will allow me to balance the crowds.

People can still show up at the door, but if most of the parents are assigned to one show or the other, I can leave room for other people, too.
Use the survey at the link above to sign up.  I will give your tickets to your student or leave them at the door for you, whichever you prefer.  You can also have your student just pick up tickets from me for the correct show. If you don’t have a preference, indicate that as well, and I will give you tickets to the time that works best overall.  (That would be my favorite option!)

REMEMBER:  No one will be turned away because they did not get a ticket ahead of time!

Thank you for your help on this.  I hope it works smoothly and everyone enjoys the reception and the concert.

Mr. Glenn

Great job today at the dedication ceremony. I was proud of your performance and your willingness to serve in this way. Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much to all of you who have come to rehearsals and will be performing on Monday!!  It was great to meet you all, and I was really enjoyed hearing you sing for the first time.  I am confident that you will make a positive impression at the dedication.

Here are the audio tracks for the school song for you to practice with.  Remember we want the song to be memorized on Sunday.

Okay.  Here are the times for learning  the “Alma Mater”.  Come to at least one, but you are welcome to come to more!

• Wednesday, Aug. 15- 3:00 pm
• Thursday, Aug. 16 – 4:00 pm

All rehearsals will start in the choir room.  I will give you more details about the dedication at practice.  But remember that the ceremony starts at 2:00 pm on Sunday, Aug. 19.  We will discuss arrival time and attire.

Mr. Glenn

I have assigned students based on what choir you were in last year and input from your previous MISD director.  However, this placement is the starting point.  I want to make sure that all singers are in the class that fits their skill level – where they can develop quickly and be highly successful.  So some students may want to sing and sight-read for me.  Also, we might be able to offer second classes as well.

All this to say I know that there will be some shuffling of classes as we start the year.  So don’t stress about that.

I will be at school Aug. 13, 14, 15 during the day if anyone wants to stop by and discuss options or just come say “hello”.

(If you have not already answered the surveys from my fist post, please go do that now.  I hope you can join us at the dedication.)
