• We have begun our choir WiddyUP fundraiser and it is still going on! Our goal is for all students to have scholarships for all contest fees, Solo & Ensemble accompanist fees, private voice lessons, field trip bus costs, some meals while on field trips, classroom materials such as updated electronics and sound equipment, music, supplies and more. While we cannot cover the entire spring overnight trip cost, we hope to contribute towards some of the expenses.
• So far this year, we've covered All-State Competition fees, TISD Solo fees, Bella Voce Kemah Ride Pass and bus, All-Region Weekend fees and meals. To participate, all we need are 10 email addresses for family and friends of each family who cannot usually attend your son or daughter's Choir Performances. For a donation, small or large, they receive a "Thank you" video performance.

Please help us by sending out your student's WiddyUP links and returning the fundraising list given out today in class!

Please make sure that you are making payments for the Spring Trip if you are traveling with us! The next payment is due December 15th!
