8TH GRADE ONLY

Dear Parents and/or Guardians,

         

          I want to fill you in on all the details for this upcoming Monday, October 24th choir performance for the 8^th grade class only.  We will be performing at the Forest Hills Jazz Festival at The FH Fine Arts Center on Forest Hills Ave.

          We will be having a pizza party and meeting at Crossroads in the cafeteria around 5 PM before the rehearsal and concert.  We will eat, drink, and be merry!!!  Our choir shirts ended up being a little cheaper than I thought so the extra money will help with the pizza and I will pay the difference!  If your child has NOT PAID FOR HIS/HER SHIRT – please send that money in ASAP!

$13 Cash or Checks - made out to Northview Vocal Music!

THIS IS WHAT I NEED FROM PARENTS:

 I NEED CHAPERONES and I will cover your ticket price if you join!  We have 97 students so I need approximately 9 -10 parents to come with us! If you come early to help with the dinner and clean up that would be great too! You can follow us in your car if you don’t want to ride the bus but I do need at least 5 to ride the bus – any takers????

I NEED DESSERTS SENT IN FOR THE PIZZA PARTY – I will get pizza and water bottles, but I cannot cover dessert – can you send some in PLEASE?? Those can be sent in anytime on Monday! Again, we have approximately 97 students but only about 85 will be having dinner! Only … lol

We will go to the choir room about 5:40 for warm-up and sing through our two choir songs.  At 6:15 we will board the buses out front and be on our way to Forest Hills Fine Arts Center by 6:45 or so.  The concert begins at 7PM and we are the 2nd act. If you would like to join us, tickets are $5.00 at the door!!!     

Students are to wear their choir shirt, jeans, NO flip flops or sweat pants. They can wear tennis shoes, boots, clogs, etc… just no sandals with open toes.  Jeans should be clean without any rips. 

          We will return somewhere around 9-9:30pm but I will have them call you as we leave the concert so that you don’t have to wait or so YOU won’t be late.  It will be a super fun experience as we are only 1 of 2 middle school choirs performing!  All the rest of the groups are HS or College level choirs. 

          This is a required performance so please be sure to get your child to Crossroads at least by 5:45 unless they will be joining us for dinner at 5pm.  Again, please be prepared to pick up your child that evening around 9pm in Crossroads parking lot.  Thanks a bunch! Questions or Concerns? 

Contact me ASAP!!!

PS. Students are welcome to stay after school with me instead of going home as long as they have something to work on quietly in my room. I will be staying all day!
