Did you ever wonder??? When is that deposit due? What is the date of that concert again? Where was that email that Ms. Ryan sent me? Well have no fear... this blog will help you with all of your middle school chorus questions! I will attach google docs of every document that I send home for you to view and print out, as well as keep you up-to-date with field trips, concerts and due dates. I will always send a Renweb email out saying that there has been a new post but this should be a really easy way to help answer all of your questions.

Concert Information

Concert Rehearsal:

We will have a final rehearsal at FA5 on Wednesday, May 25 (The day of our concert).  We will leave promptly at 12:30 and return at 2:30 to the FA4 Theater.  Students must eat their lunch quickly in their homerooms.  We have a lot to rehearse at the high school so we need to make sure we arrive on time and are on our best behavior. Students will wear regular school uniforms to school.  They may wear their chorus t-shirts if they wish.

Spring Concert:

Our concert will be at 6:30pm at the FA5 Theater (The concert will be no longer than an hour).  I believe that this is going to be a very exciting concert!  The new space and the acoustics are beautiful.  There are a ton of soloists and lots of music that many of you will know.  So please invite friends and family and look forward to enjoying a great performance!! 

Students may arrive as early as 5:45pm and MUST arrive by 6:00pm dressed in chorus uniform and ready to sing.  Students will go straight to the theater and sit on the risers.  Parents it will be best if you wait out in the lobby until the doors open at 6:50pm.

Spring Concert/ Dress Rehearsal- May 25

Our spring concert this year will be on May 25^th at 6:30pm in the FA5 theater. Students should arrive to the theater dressed in chorus uniforms and ready to sing by 6:00pm that evening. We will be carpooling over to the high school that afternoon at 12:30 and having our dress rehearsal until 2:30.  Once we are finished practicing we will go back to FA3 for dismissal.  I will be sending home permission forms for the field trip sometime this week. 

The results are in!

The FA middle school chorus received 1st place in their division at Music in the Parks at Busch Gardens this past weekend!  They also placed 4th out of all 18 choral ensembles.  There was representation from 11 states and about 1000 students.  Students sang for two judges, they were graded based on their overall performance. The judges were very impressed with their performance and had very positive comments.  Students were on their best behavior all weekend and we all had an amazing time!!!
