September

The first few weeks of class have gone so great! I love your kids. They have so much energy and expression. Thank you for sharing them with us.

A few things to remember.

We are not allowed to go into the upstairs of the Masonic Lodge. Please help your kids stay on the main floor.

The lodge is a very echoey building. Because of this, I would ask that you wait outside for your kids to finish class. Of course, if Grandma is visiting and wants to watch Suzy during her TaVaci class, that's OK. But, it just gets too loud with everyone in the room.

It was brought to my attention that Halloween is on a Thursday. I LOVE Halloween and want to take my little ones Trick-or-treating. So, we will not have class that week. If, at concert time, we need another practice we will throw one in.

Next week is costume try-on day. We will try to fit as many of our friends in used costumes as possible. If you are hoping to sell a used costume please bring it with you to class next week. Label it with your name so that I don't get confused.

Sugar Hill Choir

I need to know how many of my friends are interested in singing with the Sugar Hill Choir. I will attach a separate information letter about that. I will need to have your signed letter of intent returned with your tuition. Please remember that participation is completely optional and in no way effects our regular concert. It's just an added bonus!
