No Class next week

Just a reminder that we will not meet Nov. 27th due to Thanksgiving. Enjoy your families and remember to practice your songs. Make sure you have the words to "Long Time Ago" memorized and work on the endings of "Adeste" and "Here I am / Joy to the World".

Will post more info soon.

Remember you have projects due the last day of class (Dec. 10th). Also remember that we wear White tops and black bottoms to the concert...See your brochure for more info or email me with any questions. Ladies, Christmas Dresses are fine.

Assignment due Nov. 20th

In addition to making sure your parts are memorized, please take good note of your dynamics. A good byproduct of not holding music is that you can now watch the director more closely. So, be ready to keep a close eye out for me next week.

Will want you to look nice since I will be taking pictures this week at rehearsal for the article I am putting in the newspaper for your concert announcement!

Also, you may want to go ahead and copy and paste the following information to send to your friends and family to have them mark their calendars to attend the concert.

Plan to join in the fun as the Home School Choir "In Harmony" and the Home School Band celebrate the birth of Jesus on Thursday, December 10, 2009 at Trinity Wesleyan Church on 2200 Mooresville Rd in Salisbury at 7 PM.

Elisabeth Von Trapp Concert

This looks like a wonderful opportunity

The Cornelius Concert Series Presents:
Elisabeth Von Trapp
Sunday, Nov. 15
6pm -Sanctuary, Mt. Zion United Methodist Church
19600 Zion St.
Cornelius, NC

For Elisabeth Von Trapp, "the sounds of music" are part of her earliest memories. Born and raised in Vermont, she is the granddaughter of the legendary Maria and Baron Von Trapp. Elisabeth's concert repertoire ranges from Bach to Broadway... Schubert to Sting. No one leaves an Elisabeth Von Trapp performance unchanged. Audiences of all ages are drawn by the promise of her famous name, awed by the beauty of her voice and musical arrangements, their hearts touched by the sound of her unique new music. A free will offering will be taken.

Update - Nov 10th

Ethan is home and recovering well. He will have to be on oral antibiotics for a total of 21 days though.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at class this Friday.

If anyone knows of any extra verses to the Chipmunk song, do let me know.

Have your parts nailed down and memorized. We'll have plenty of good practice time this week from 10-12.

Important Announcement

I had to admit my son to the hospital today in Concord. He will probably be there for a few days with an eye infection.

Thus, we will not meet this Friday (Nov 6th). Instead, we will meet from 10-12 on Nov 13th. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Be sure and practice extra hard since we will not see each other this week. Music is to be memorized by the 13th.
