Pirate Choir Newsletter

Our Winter Concert is coming up very soon on Thursday, December 5th!

It will take place at 7:00pm at the Cross Church in Wylie. If a student cannot attend due to an academic or school extracurricular event, a parent or sponsor needs to email the directors ahead of time letting us know.

As with all our concerts, this is a major grade and required for all choir students. The concert attire will be formal tuxedos and dresses.

Members of Tempo need to be dressed and ready by 5:00pm.

All other choir members need to be at the Cross Church dressed and ready by 5:30pm.

Please make transportation arrangements ahead of time and plan on increased traffic due to ongoing construction on 544.

The choir department is full of babies this year! Choir students are invited to come celebrate our amazing colleague and friend, Mrs. Capshaw, as she and her husband prepare to welcome their baby girl in January.

When: Wednesday, December 11th, during lunch (treats provided)
Location: Choir Room (403)

Gifts are appreciated, but not required. If you do not have access to an Amazon account, or want to contribute to part of an item, you can bring cash to Mrs. Mara and she will pool money to purchase a gift on your behalf. Help us thank Mrs. Capshaw for all the love and care she pours into her students!
