Thank you parents for your flexibility last week with our different rehearsal schedule!
Our sectionals last week really paid off! By working with each part separately for one rehearsal, the students became more confident on their parts. Part 1 actually had a new section to learn while part 2 just needed to learn a new ending. This past Tuesday when all 70 of us were back together, we put the 2 parts together and they did a fantastic job! It only took a couple tries and they were successful. I was so proud of them! Next Tuesday, Nov. 24th, we record for the DuTrac sponsored radio spots. Please make sure your singers are there punctually. When I know our air times, I'll share them with you.
Andrea Rouchka, a Loras College music ed. major, was with us Tuesday as we put the 2 sections together. Andrea has been observing me teaching music for about a month, but this was her first experience hearing the choir. She was very impressed with their sound and how successful the students were in putting the parts together.
Thank you so much to the seven ladies who have volunteered to be our "Choir Moms"! I feel so blessed to have these seven ladies willing to assist me and the choir.
The choir will be performing at the Gr. 1 & 2 Christmas program on Dec. 14th at 2:00 & 7:00. We look forward to sharing our songs with you!

Teresa, Maybe, if you haven't already done so, send out an email to all parents who's children participate to see if we can get more people to join the blog.
