October News
Things are going so well. Dare I say it? We are ahead of schedule!!! That NEVER happens.
Your kids have been exposed to tons of information. The next few weeks we will focus on finishing up a few pieces, cleaning and solidifying a few tricky spots, and having fun.
CDs
I am sending home a CD with your child. Please let them listen to it often. The more they listen to it, the more confident they will be on stage.
Solos
Our concert has several solos. We will have a solo try out day. Please see the calendar for dates. I will also attach a word sheet for your child to use. It would be great if they had it memorized and could come in on time with the CD. We will have them try out with the CD.
Specialties.
We will have 3 specialties during this concert: and Tune Tune number about how they are the perfect present, a boom whacker song performed by our harmonic tunes, and one of the pieces that our choir will be singing with the Sugar Hill Choir.

If your child has been selected to
participate in a specialty, you will have an additional page to this newsletter
explaining the details.
Sugar Hill Choir
If your child has signed up to participate in the Sugar Hill choir concerts, you will find their name on the attached paper. Please see attached paper for more specifics about this opportunity.

It is not too late to participate in
the Sugar Hill Choir. I will also attach
another copy of the intent form. If you
have already handed it in to me, just ignore the duplication.
Costumes
I will
be sending home a few pieces of the harmonics costumes today. Please try them on when you get home. If there is anything that needs to be traded
I will need time to get that done.
The rest
of the costumes have been ordered. We
will not receive them until the first of December. The seamstress is fast, but
she is human. As soon as I get them I
will send them home with your kids.
Props
You will
notice the prop fee added to your October tuition statement. The prop fee is just a little bit different
for each class. They each have their own
props that are not exactly the same.
Your child will get to keep their props after the concert. But, until then I will keep them safe and
sound.
The
Harmonics will be dancing with a telephone that really does hook into their
ipod. I am going to write each of their
names on their phones now. They will
practice with their own phone every time.
I cannot afford to replace broken phones. I’m hoping that this will encourage my
friends to be careful with their phone during practice. J
Speaking
Parts
This concert has several speaking parts. I will send these home with next months
newsletter. If your child is asked to
present a speaking part, please help them memorize it. We will practice them in class, but all the
extra practice at home helps a great deal.
Time
Change
When the time changes, it will be dark when we
finish our later classes. Please come to
the door to pick up your kids. I don’t
like them running around outside in the dark.
It makes me nervous that a car won’t see them.
Please
Notice
On the calendar below I have fixed the date for our
concert. Our concert WILL NOT be on
Sunday. It is on Saturday the 21st.
You saw correctly.
We will have one Wednesday rehearsal on December the 4th. I realize that Wednesday is a church night
for many of my friends, but if you can make it to class that would be
great.

Hill Choir
As stated on the attached calendar, we will start practices
for the Sugar Hill Choir on the 10th of October.
We will be singing two selections.
The first is “Christmas
Time”. We will join the main choir on
this song. It is a joyful celebration of
Christmas. It has some tricky timing,
but we can do it for sure.
The second is “Bethlehem
Night”. It is a beautiful sacred hymn
about the first Christmas night.
These are the links to
the pieces are:
