Good luck to our two All-State Choir members, Catie Seal and Camille Hannam, who are performing tomorrow evening at the American Choral Director's Association Convention in Dallas, TX! An incredible honor for our school and for the All-State Mixed Choir!

There will be UIL rehearsals after school leading up to this year's competition! These are for Chorale only and will be held on the following dates.

March 24th 4-6pm for treble, 5-7pm for TB

March 31st 4-6pm for TB 5-7pm for treble (NOTE THE TIME DIFFERENCE)

April 3rd 4-6pm for treble, 5-7pm for TB

April 7th 4-6pm for treble, 5-7pm for TB

Our Pre-UIL concert is on March 25 at 7:00 pm! It is only required for classes who are participating in UIL Contest - Bel Canto, Dudes, Bella Voce, and Chorale. Call time is 5:45 pm, and students must wear their choir formals. Students are expected to stay for whole concert and will receive four major grades for the concert. Parents and families are welcome and invited to attend!

Next Thursday and Friday, March 27 and 28, we will be hosting middle school UIL at TMHS. This is an exciting opportunity for our program, and it is only possible due to our student helpers. Many of your students have volunteered to help us run this contest, and you will be receiving an email later this week with more information if your student has been chosen to volunteer. Students helping will be on a field trip leaver, and the absence will not be counted against exemptions.

Coffeehouse will be Friday, March 28 at 7:00pm in the TMHS Cafeteria! Tickets are $5 but TMHS Choir students will get in for free!

Congratulations to the following students for being chosen for this year's Coffeehouse! Great job to everyone who auditioned!

We hope to see you at this event next week!
