Whitecaps Performance - Monday, April 20, 2015 NOON

Hey Parents and/or Guardians!!!

            We are so excited!!  Well, at least I am!!  J  8^th grade choir and I are ready to perform at the Whitecaps so I wanted to fill you in on our last details!!!  We will run our song a little in the choir room during class time and then report to the bus out front at 11am!!  We need to be at the ball field by 11:15 so we must leave CR by 11:00AM!!!  We will return around 2:30PM so kids can get on their normal bus home!!  Students should wear their choir shirt and jeans.  The Whitecaps requested that we look uniform so it will be easier to stick together!  Plus – we look so good in them!!!  Start looking now if you haven’t seen it for awhile!! J

There are a few different options for pricing.

If they want an actual seat in the bleachers the tix cost will be $15. If they want to go a little cheaper, the lawn seat tix cost will be $12.  Personally, I don’t sit much during the game so I will be buying the cheap tix.  Most kids tend to walk around so I would recommend the cheaper tix but it’s up to you!! Either way, the cost will cover their ticket in, a hot dog, a small drink, and the bus ride!!  I need to pre-order the tickets so please send in that money ASAP.  Checks made out to NORTHVIEW VOCAL MUSIC!!!  If you would like to join and/or chaperone, your ticket will be the same price so feel free to order tickets for you & your family and I will get your tickets as well!! 

I would like all money before spring break so please SEND IN BEFORE April 2, 2015

Now, what I need from you parents besides the money: 

CHAPERONES, CHAPERONES, CHAPERONES!!!! 

We need at least 2 to be on the safe side!!!

Please call or email me ASAP!!

MANY STUDENTS FOR SEMESTER 1 DID NOT TURN IN A LIVE PERFORMANCE AND IT LOWERED THEIR GRADE A LOT!!

Please don't let it happen again!!  Here is the info!

LIVE Performance Critique and Concert Critique

All choir students will have papers due through out the year.  The two main assignments worth 75 points each semester are the LIVE Performance Papers.

LIVE PERFORMANCE CRITIQUE 

DUE DATE

2^nd semester due:  FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2015

            You will need to see one LIVE musical performance per semester and write a paper on it.  The paper will consist of your constructive comments on what you thought of the performance.  The performance needs to be attended on your own time.  Every month I will list the musical performances going on in the district with time, cost, place, etc...  It is your job to write the information down and make it to one of these concerts.  If you want to see a performance on your own, you may do this as well.  Be sure to check with me before you go to be sure it is a LIVE musical performance.  Some shows that are not LIVE musical performance would be:

            1.  A play (no music)

            2.  A show on ice. (the music is taped not LIVE)

            3.  A live television show (you are not seeing it LIVE)

            Lastly, when your report is finished, you will need to attach your ticket stub, program, and have a parent signature saying that you did indeed attend this concert.

NOTE:  YOU WILL NEED TO TURN IN THE REPORT WITHIN 1 MONTH 

OF SEEING THE PERFORMANCE OR IT WILL NOT COUNT!!!

RUBRIC

1. One FULL page typed – PLEASE USE SPELL AND GRAMMAR CHECK!!
