Tiger Choir Chronicles

It has been another great week in the Tiger Choir Room! As always, each week I'll be sending out our weekly newsletter, the Tiger Choir Chronicles, sometime between Sunday and Monday. It will also be posted on the choir website under "Weekly Updates." Please be sure to read the full news update each week for reminders, upcoming events, and news. There is a lot of information in this week's newsletter so please be sure to read through everything that applies to your student.

Go Tigers!

Thank you to everyone who has paid choir fees! If you have not yet, please remember that they were due on Friday, September 20th. If your child needs assistance, our Booster Club is here to help! Please simply send me an email and let me know that your child needs assistance paying choir fees and our Boosters will be happy to help out if they are able!

This WEEK, we will have Spirit Nights at Piada! Stop on by to support our Travis Tiger Choir students! Orders all day Tuesday, and all online orders throughout the week will help earn money for our Choir Boosters! We've had great success so far this year with our spirit nights so let's keep rocking it!

Due to new district guidelines that came out after school started, we are no longer able to have our entire choir program sing at the Homecoming football game. I apologize for this conflict with the calendars given out, however, this decision and guidelines were given to teachers in mid-August after our calendars were published. Chorale will still be required for the game, but all students in Treble Choir, Tenor-Bass Choir, and Advanced Treble Choir are not required to attend this game.

All students auditioning for Region auditions, please see the information below:

When: Saturday, October 19th (All day)

Where: Bush High School

Report Time: Report to THS Choir Room by 6:45 am for a breakfast snack and warm-up. We will take a bus over to BHS.

Uniform: Gray choir polo, jeans

Our Choir Parent Booster Club operates to help support and assist the choir program in many ways! We have regular meetings to help plan events, discuss volunteer needs, and discuss financial needs of the choir program. You can be as involved as you would like to be! To encourage membership, the board has waived all membership fees this year in hopes that you will join us and find out ways you can support your child in their musical journey as a member of the Travis Tiger Choir!

Thank you to everyone who has been purchasing items from our Amazon Wishlist to help "clear the list!" If you are able to browse our list and help purchase an item, we would be SO grateful for your support!

• No new updates!

This year we are thrilled to add another private voice teacher to our staff and extend a warm welcome to Mr. Antoine Griggs. Mr. Griggs is an accomplished performer who regularly sings with various organizations in Houston, including the Houston Ebony Opera Guild and Houston Grand Opera! He came to campus a couple weeks ago to meet the students and began lessons last week. He still has a few spots open. If your child is interested, or if you have any specific questions please feel free to reach out to him at antoinegriggs@gmail.com. We are very fortunate in Fort Bend that lessons are taught during student's choir class time so no additional rehearsal time is necessary and I hope that many students will take advantage of this awesome opportunity!
