HHS Choir Monthly Updates

Thank you, HHS Choir Family for a wonderful 2023-2024 school year. From beginning to end, this was a fantastic year and I am very proud of the growth I saw from each individual musician as well as the collective group improvement from August to May!

I sincerely hope that everyone has a wonderful and relaxing summer vacation! I'll be heading to Italy, England, & Ireland starting on Monday; if you happen to be there also, I hope we get a chance to run into one another.

Wherever you go, whatever you do, thank you for allowing me the chance to make music with you. I am a better musician and person for having been given the opportunity!

All new and returning choir members will need to come to the HS Choir Room on Wednesday August 14th between 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM to be fitted for their uniform for the year.

In order for students to take their uniform home with them, they will need to have their signed contract and the uniform fee turned in. As we get closer to the date, there will be an email with a link for students to schedule a uniform fitting time, the contract that must be signed and the link to pay the uniform fee online.

If you will be out of town on 8/14, please let us know and we will coordinate a makeup time with our ChoirVPs, Kim Murphy & Kyla Rollins.

Highlight your support for our programs by purchasing a yard sign on or before 4th of July.

Pick up during your respective uniform fittings. You have the option of buying individual signs for each program (band, choir, jazz and orchestra) OR have one sign and buy individual program stickers to affix. The choice is yours. Along with yard signs we are also offering car clings. All proceeds raised will go to each individual program. Hurry and order now!!

Camp is scheduled for:

Monday August 5th thru Thursday August 8th from 8:00 AM- 3:00 PM

Location @ HHS Choir Room/Auditorium

A one hour lunch break will be scheduled during each day

Tag Day is MANDATORY for all Hudson High School music students.

For those unfamiliar with this day, students will be taken around different neighborhoods in Hudson by parent volunteers where they will head door to door to pass out "tags" with our concert dates and ask them for any donations to the program

1. Tag Day is a HHSMA fundraiser that all students in Band, Orchestra, & Choir participate in to help raise money for the music programs

   
   

2. On 8/24, students should report to the choir room at 8:45 AM while parent volunteers should head to the HHS Commons for last minute details and directions. The day will end by noon, perhaps even earlier

   
   

3. To pull this off we NEED 100 adult volunteers to drive students to Hudson City School District neighborhoods and participate in our most important fundraiser for the Hudson High School Music Association.

   
   

4. We ask that all students participate. The more students that are involved, the more money that is dispersed to the choir program. If the choir is not well represented on Tag Day, then we do not receive as many funds as we would should all attend

   
   

5. This fundraiser supports ALL of the High School Music programs. Mark your calendars and look for a driver sign up to be sent later this summer. Email tagday.hhsma@gmail.com with any questions.
