What a day this has been, what a rare mood I'm in....
.
Kids were AMAZING TODAY!!! Both groups sang and acted so professional and mature! Absolutely no hints of immaturity! You all should be VERY PROUD OF YOUR SINGERS!
Special Thanks to all the parents who sent in drinks, desserts, plates, cups, etc...
We really could not have done this without you (well obviously - I would have no singers)!
HUGE thanks to all the chaperons, again, we would not have been able to go without your support and time!
8TH GRADE received a score of 95 which is 1 point away from an excellent rating. So they received a GOOD RATING! Which is still a wonderful score - more like a 2 or a B+ !! I really feel they earned an excellent rating as their music was really difficult - 4part a cappella is nothing to sneeze at!! They also got a perfect score on their sight-reading which means they are DONE WITH SIGHT-READING FOR THE YEAR! I know they will be happy about that! They should be super proud of their singing and their behavior! I couldn't be happier with them!
7TH GRADE received a score of 104 which is an EXCELLENT RATING! They really stepped up their game and again, nailed the sight-reading! I am so proud and happy for their hard work! They are also DONE WITH SIGHT-READING FOR THE YEAR!
On Monday, we will head back to the IMC to finish our typing of the Concert Critique and their LIVE performance papers. On Tuesday & Wednesday, we will lay low and watch a movie, and on Thursday, we do not have normal class as it is Diversity Day! After next week, we start pops concert music so we will be back to being busy!! That's what is coming up for choirs!
Thanks again to all parents for sharing your singers with me! I may get a little upset with them at times but it is days like this that make me proud to be a music teacher in Northview! Thanks to all parents who helped make today a success! We couldn't have done it without you! Thanks to all choir members for all your hard work today! You should be proud!
Sincerely and Musically Yours, Mrs.Tami Hjelm
