Please click here for information on Jeffco Honor Choir and All State Choir auditions. We will be recording auditions the week of 10/6. Students will record their audition and the directors will score against the rubric. Students scoring well on the rubric will be offered the opportunity to send their recording to All State. Please see the attached letter for fees. Jeffco Honor Choir will be chosen from Images, while all 7th and 8th graders in both choirs will have the opportunity to audition for All State.

Resonance will be performing with the Colorado Repertory Singers and Rock Canyon High School on February 18, 2025. This concert will take place at the Art Museum in Denver. We will be taking a special field trip to the Art Museum on November, 5, 2024, to see the space where we will sing as well as engage with art that correlates with our performance music. Permission slips will be sent home soon.

We will be selling holiday wreaths as a performing arts fundraiser. Wreath sales start October 21st. Students will sell the 22' Noble Fir wreath for $27 each. See flyer here. Students should collect funds at the time of sale and families should write ONE check to Manning for all wreaths purchased. Once you are done selling, please fill out the ordere form here and bring your check in by Nov. 1, 2024. Wreaths will be delivered to Manning the week after Thanksgiving (usually Tuesday). Please deliver your fresh wreaths right away so they stay as fresh as possible.
