March 26th Notes

So, I want to remind everyone that we don't have class next week - April 2nd - because that is Good Friday/Easter weekend.

We will meet again on April 9th to prepare for our performance on Tuesday, April 13th at the Talent Show. We will meet there at 3:00 that afternoon and then again at 6:45PM. We are usually there around an hour to an hour and a half and I will use some of that time to rehearse in a side room with you all as well as going through our song there on the risers etc. We will be in white and black as for other performances that evening. The following Friday (April 16th) we will NOT meet since we have taken up enough time out of our schedules for that week. Let me know if you have any questions.

For those who are not members of the Rowan Home School Assoc. Here's the details for the night from the lady heading it up:

RCHSA TALENT SHOWCASE


The RCHSA Talent Showcase will be held on Tuesday, April 13, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. at the Kannapolis Church of God (also known as West “A” Church of God) in their Harvest House fellowship building.

In the past we have had a variety of entries including poetry/scripture recitation, vocal solos, piano solos, violin solos, instrumental ensembles, dance routines, and choral groups along with some unique performances like karate, magic tricks, and a yo-yo routine. There is a time limit of four minutes per solo or group. Please limit your performance to one piece, song, or dance routine even though it may not take up the entire four minutes. There will be a rehearsal prior to the showcase on April 13 from 3:00-5:00 p.m.

Kannapolis Church of God is located in Kannapolis. From I-85, take exit 63, turn right on Lane Street. Continue on Lane St. which becomes Jackson Park Rd. when you cross N. Cannon Blvd. Then after you cross N. Main St., it becomes N. Loop Road. Turn right on West A Street. (This is at a stoplight halfway down a rather steep hill.) The church is at 2211 West A Street. From Landis, go down S. Main Street. Turn right on West 5th St. This road will become West A Street. The church is on the right at 2211 West A Street.
