Coming Attractions!

The school year is off to a great start and 1st quarter grades are already on the books.  I've paid my Choral Fee and bought (my daughter) character shoes for Fall Follies.  What more do I need to know?

The next required event is Saturday, December 7th (12:00-3:00): Caroling Canvass.  Vocal students will be split into caroling groups and canvass UA neighborhoods spreading Christmas cheer and collecting donations.

This event is quickly followed by the Winter Choral Concert on Wednesday, December 11th @ 7:30 pm.  At this concert the major work, "St. Francis in the Americas: A Caribbean Mass", will be presented.  This is a FREE concert!

It's never too soon to make sure you have the correct performance attire for your daughter or son.  It is as follows:

Ladies:
BLACK dress or WHITE blouse & BLACK skirt
BLACK closed toe shoes (with a heel no higher than 1.5")
bare legs or nude hose
No jewelry (small earrings are fine)

Gentlemen:
WHITE button down dress shirt
BLACK dress pants (no jeans)
BLACK socks
BLACK dress shoes (no sneakers)




If your teen enjoys performing musical theatre, auditions for this year's musical, "In The Heights", are the week of November 18th.  The informational meeting was held last week but packets can still be picked up from Mr. Kauffman.  Auditions are open to the entire student body of the high school and not based on seniority or involvement in the choral program.  Encourage your freshman to "give it a try", they will never know if they could have made it unless they audition!
