October
We are well on our way! We have learned lots of material and will start finishing each piece in the next few weeks. Then it will be cleaning and polishing time. We are sending home a CD for your child to practice their material. Please encourage them to listen to it often. We only get to work with them once a week. So, the more they listen at home the better.
Some of our songs have solo or duet parts built in. We will have tryouts for these parts on October 23rd. We will post word sheets for each part on the blog and facebook so that they can really be prepared for the tryout. We will talk about how a tryout is run. That they need to have the words memorized, look up, “sale the part”, and do their best. It’s a good experience for them and helps them practice talking/singing in front of a group.
Our Harmonic Tunes are getting TaVaci sweatshirts for one of their props. They are super cute. So, I wanted to offer them to the rest of the group if they wanted them. They are $17. If you would like one, please include $17 as well as make a note of the size and we will order them up. Oooh, almost forgot, you can choose fuschia or lime green.
