Hello Everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well. In music this week we have finished talking about musicals for 7th and 8th grade and have begun talking about a new composer- George Frideric Handel, and will finish the topic at the beginning of next week. We will follow this by talking about the music genre "Rock n' Roll". We will begin talking about musicals next week with 6th grade.
In chorus this week we have finished up our "fix it" lists for each song we are singing for the concert. We have begun watching clips from the musicals we are singing songs from so that students have something to compare the songs to. I sent home flyers with all chorus students telling the details for the concert. It is May 15th. Students are to report at 5:30 for a sound check and roll call so that they may get credit for their test grade. The concert will begin promptly at 6:30. Students are to wear Sunday clothes. No blue jeans if possible. If it is unavoidable, please dress them up as nice as possible. We will be holding a small reception after the concert. Students need to bring their favorite dessert. If it happens to be a bag of oreos, that is fine. If students need another paper, I have them available.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Fordney
Music Teacher/Chorus Director
