Fall Concert Information
What: Fall Concert
Where: THS Auditorium
When: Tuesday, October 24th
Time: Concert starts at 7 pm. Student call time is 6:00 pm (this is different than the calendar)
Uniform: Formal Tuxes and Dress. ALL students wearing tuxedos MUST provide their own white, long-sleeve, button-down dress shirt and black dress shoes. Black sneakers or tennis shoes are NOT acceptable. Students should also have solid black socks that cover the ankle. Students who have fully paid their choir fee should be bringing home the tuxedo pants and jackets this week if they haven't already. I will be handing out the ties at the concert. Students wearing dresses should be sure they have a pair of black dress shoes to wear.

This concert is two major grades and the students have been DILIGENTLY working and making wonderful progress in their preparations. Please invite your family and friends to come hear our talented students share their skills, talents, and songs!
Fall Concert Set-Up
Upcoming Fall Fundraiser!
The purpose of this fundraiser is to build our booster club's account. The Booster Club's goal is to support both our choir students as well as the program itself. Several of the specific things we are fundraising for are:
- Student Scholarships to All-State Camps next summer
- Choir Fee assistance
- Financial assistance for field trip tickets (Specifically our upcoming trip to see Cinderella downtown on December 7th)
- Bus costs for field trips
- Uniform purchases and replacements
- Sponsorship of social parties and events for choir students
- Instrumentalists for concerts
This past week we got students set up in the Raise 365 app and began important contact information for potential donors. Please continue to assist your child in gathering and inputting contact information. The more, the better! We are looking to gather as many small donations of $5-$20 as possible, not large gifts (though they are welcome!). Incentives and prizes will be announced Wednesday at our kick-off!
Fall Festival
If you are able to donate any of the following items, please send them to school with your child at your earliest convenience:
- Snack packs of chips, cookies
- Cases of water
- Rolls of paper towel or packs of napkins
- Bags of candy (to be used as prizes)
- Packs of plastic forks
- 9" styrofoam pumpkins (like this one at Michael's)
- Spooky photo booth props
- Plastic grocery bags (for students to take home prize candy)
This will be a FUN event that all CHOIR students are welcome to attend. Unfortunately, we are unable to accomodate siblings and/or friends at this event.
If you are willing to chaperone, we need 4-5 parents to help run the game stations and serve food. Please contact Mr. Miner if you are able to help.
