Concert Information

Concert Date & Time
Thank you for being flexible with me as I have changed our concert schedule. Our Spring concert will be held on Friday, April 18, at 6:30 pm at MES. We will be in the gym again, just like we were at Christmas. Call time for all choir members will be at 6 pm on the stage
 
Concert Dress
Concert Dress for choir members will be similar to our Christmas concert with white on top and black on the bottom. However, for the girls, if they would like to wear a springy scarf, that would be fine. (For those in choir last time, the ones we used last Spring would be perfect.) For the boys, if they could wear a light-colored tie, I think that would be best.
 
Night at the Arts
As for the Night at the Arts Festival, I went ahead and declined our performance for that. I hope that is okay.
 
Solo Auditions
We will be holding solo auditions for "Ladybug" on April 1 during our regular rehearsal time. The words and a video can be found on the website under the Practice Tracks. This will be the only solo for this concert.

Questions
If you have any questions, please contact me so we can clear them up quickly.

A Big Change

Marcato Parents,
 
Something has come up that is putting our performance schedule in full upheaval! My husband and I have been invited on a once-in-a-lifetime trip on his company yacht. (Wowza!!) The issue is that it is scheduled for the week of April 21, and the dates are not negotiable. So, since it would be ridiculous of me to turn an opportunity like this down, it means that we need to change our performances. Last week, I informed you all of a performance for the MES Evening of Arts. Well, unless one of you are willing to conduct in my place, we will have to cancel that performance. (I've already let the person who invited us know of that possibility.)
 
Also, if I keep the final concert on May 1, I would miss a key rehearsal just prior to the concert. So, I am proposing that we move the concert up a couple of weeks and do it on either Thursday, April 17, or Friday, April 18. Which of those dates would work out better for your family? Please let me know very quickly so that I can get the building reserved.
 
In moving the concert to the middle of April, that means we only have 5 rehearsals left before choir is over for the year. I am going to need extra focus and, if possible, perfect attendance from all choir members. (Please be sure to contact me if your child has something that prevents them from attending choir rehearsals and we can come up with a plan.)
 
I apologize for the changes. Thank you for your understanding!

Performance Added

Our choir was asked to perform at an Evening of the Arts for Morgan Elementary School on Friday, April 25. The event will be held in the evening, but I do not know what time we will actually perform. When I receive that information, I will pass it along.

Also, I am preparing to schedule our concert for the evening of Thursday, May 1. If there are any major conflicts with this date, please let me know ASAP. The time will likely be at 6:30 pm.

Both of these events are on our Calendar of Events tab. Please write them in on your calendars.
