Tiger Choir Chronicles
Travis Tiger Choir Weekly Updates
September 4 - September 8
Happy September!
Go Tigers!
News for Everyone
What Did We Do Last Week?
- We had an awesome inaugural Parent Preview Concert! Thank you to everyone who came out to support!
- All classes are now going full-steam ahead on fall concert music! We worked on the building blocks of various pieces and will be putting them together in context in a few short weeks!
Choir Fees
Please continue to make payment installments as you are able.
When you go online to pay, please be sure you select the correct choir fee. Students in Treble Choir (1st period), Tenor-Bass Choir (2nd Period), and Advanced Treble Choir (4th Period) are considered "Non-Varsity." Students in Chorale (3rd period) are considered "Varsity" and should pay the appropriate fee. However, students in a non-varsity class who wish to audition for the All-State process will want to select the "Varsity" fee as it includes the cost of the audition entry.
THANK YOU to our generous Tiger Choir Sponsors!

3rd Period
- Students do not have a schoology assignment this week. They should use this week's time to practice cuts for the District Music.
Parent Preview Make-Up
If your child was unable to attend the Parent Preview Concert, the make-up opportunity will be on Wednesday morning at 7:15 am.
Assignments Past Due
- FORMS are now past due as a completion grade. If you're child has a "0" in Skyward, it is because I have not received their stapled form packet. The late-work policy does not apply to this assignment so as soon as your child returns the completed forms, the grade will be changed to 100. If your child has lost their forms, they are available on the choir website.
- Schoology Week 3 Assignment. The late work policy is in place for all Schoology assignments. Students' lack of planning or technology issues are not an excuse for late work. Students have been reminded throughout the week, and are also welcome to use the classroom iPads anytime before or after school to complete their assignment.
District Auditions Updates
MOCK Auditions take place this week! Practice Cuts were posted in Schoology on Friday. For Varsity Chorale singers this is a MAJOR grade so please check in with your child to be sure they have practiced!
