Choir Oct. 1

WOW!!

I can't even begin to explain how excited I am.  We got started today with a ton of energy and incredible voices.  These kids are amazing!

I am still trying to figure out the best sing to eat ratio for time.  Please know that I told the kids today to eat quickly without chocking (of course!) and that if I started and they were still eating to please make sure that they were not singing with food in their mouths but to finish eating and then join in.  

Helping in the music room is Mrs. Danchuk and Mrs. Mask.  Hurray!!!

Today we learned the first verse and chorus of North Pole Musical as well as the first song of the Nutcracker Megamix (My favorite song of the show!!) I asked the kids to try to sing through the songs twice before next choir.  If they are able to do more, GREAT!!

Here are the links for the songs

FYI
The students were asking if there would be speaking parts - YES!

In a few weeks I will ask who is interested in a speaking line (everyone who wants a line will get a line although some may be in a small group of speakers)

Will there be solos? - YES! That is the plan

In a few weeks I will be asking who is interested in solos, if you have a solo or small group singing part you will not also have a speaking line unless the line goes with the solo.  I will hold solo auditions where I ask the students to prepare a little bit of singing and come meet me at a lunch hour to sing for me and then I will put them in a part. 

If you sign up for these parts it is up to you to practice them at home!!! Myself and Mrs. McLean will work at school with you but you need to know them. 

Last but not least
There was a little confusing with a couple of students as their name wasn't on a list for lunchroom to know they were coming to choir.  I apologize, I am not sure how that happened.  It has been fixed I believe!! Thanks for your understanding.
