Harrison Show Choir

Thank you Bella Vita Photography for this great composite picture of our Harrison Show Choir! Everyone worked really hard during our rehearsal today and we got a lot accomplished. Don't forget our show choir mini-tour on Tuesday and our Exam rehearsals (regular time) this week.

Show Choir choreo session and IWAA opportunity this weekend

The Harrison Community Choir has a concert this Sunday at 2:30pm in the Activity Center.  Remember: bringing me a program from a concert you attended is an easy way to get some IWAA points (even more points if you tell me what you thought of the performance is a note attached to your program).
Show Choir has a choreography session with Eric this Sunday, December 15th from 5pm-8pm.  Bring your competition music.

Holiday Concert

Tomorrow, Wednesday, December 11th, is our Holiday Concert. Students who are performing in small groups (i.e. duets, Earbuds, Madrigal) will have a chance to practice on stage with the sound system from 4-5pm. Then pictures begin after 5pm (refer to your schedule so you know when to report in uniform for your group's picture).  

Mrs. Vidal sent me a text today to tell me the Treble Cats corrected shirts have arrived.  Treble Cats should change into their outfits tomorrow at the beginning of 4th bell so that they will have at least one run-through in their uniform before the show.
The Show Choir tour has been rescheduled (with abbreviated stops) from 1:50pm- 4:30pm next Tuesday, December 17th.

Great Job Tonight!!

All choirs did a great job this evening.  Outdoor venues are difficult and you all afforded yourselves very well.  My son said on the drive home: "That was fun, but next year I'm wearing two layers of gloves and socks."  Special thanks to Mrs. Quinlivan who played with frozen fingers for most of the evening.
Our next performance for Show Choir is Tuesday, December 10th in community outreach concerts at several local senior centers.  Then on Wednesday, December 11th ALL CHOIRS have a Holiday Concert at the Activity Center.

Enjoy Our Snow Day, See You All Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the Harrison Tree Lighting Event.  The High School Choir has won the canned food drive and will be performing last at the event.  The High School Choir has also chosen all of the Holiday Carols we will sing together.  This is a graded event for all choirs.

All singers will report to downtown Harrison (just past Harrison Bakery) on Harrison Ave.
You may want to warm-up on the way to town (especially the concert choirs who have some high notes to sing)  Remember: When your group leaves the stage, do not leave the area because we are singing together at the end.

Junior School Choir Singers will sign in with Mrs. Purdy at 6pm.  We will sing starting @ 6:20pm.  The Show Choir and Treble Cats will report at 6:20pm and sing @ 6:30pm- 6:45pm.
High School Concert Choir will report at 6:35pm and sing from @ 6:50- until the tree lighting (@7:00pm).

Then, after the tree is lit, ALL CHOIR MEMBERS will sing Deck the Halls, The Twelve Days of Christmas and Silent Night with the crowd in attendance (whether you are on the stage or in the crowd at the time).  Mrs. Purdy will have the green/red carol books.  If you need one, please grab it as you leave the stage and join the crowd.  You are not dismissed until after Silent Night.  Return the carol book to me on Monday at school.

Our wonderful Music Boosters will be in attendance selling hot chocolate, funnel cakes and fired Oreos.  I also hear that Harrison Bakery will be open.  This has always been a very fun event for our choirs and the community.  Remember to dress warmly, especially if you are watching the parade before the singing starts and staying for the entire event.  See you there!

Update for the Tree Lighting

Lots of cans just came in for our Canned Food Drive…...I'm exited to see which choir wins the contest!  Remember, the winning choir gets to perform last and choose all of the holiday carols that we will sing with the crowd this Saturday at the Harrison Tree Lighting Event.
We perform after the Harrison V.O.C.E. community choir.  More details have been shared during class.  Let me know if you have any questions.
