Nashville News

If you are going on the high school choir trip to Nashville in March, now is the time to find your roommates.  Remember, we can have four people of the same gender per room and if you want a double or single room it will cost a little extra.  Final "settle up" costs will be known by Friday, February 3rd and final payment is due on Tuesday, February 7th.  This trip is entirely student funded and not financed by SLSD.

Semester ends next week

All HS Wildcat Concert Choir members and JS Singers are still able to turn in their floating assignments,  makeup assignments and song reviews (or other IWAA point notes) until the end of next week.  It will be hard to earn an A without turning in all of you assignments and garnering at least a few IWAA points.  Good luck!!

We're Rockin' this Holiday Season

We have been very busy this week with daytime performances by all high school groups and evening performances by every singing group in the district.  If you have missed any performance, make sure that you pick up a make-up assignment to work on over break.
Our season of making a joyful noise is far from over.  On Sunday the Harrison Show Choir and Molto Alto will be joining the Southern Gateway Chorus for an afternoon of music.  Call time is 1:45 pm.
Our Show Choir will tour some of the senior centers in our district on Tuesday; visiting the Harrison Senior Center at 12:30, Crosby Senior Center at 1:30, at Merchant's Bank & Trust at 2:15 and Wesbanco at 2:45 pm.  Don't forget the musical meeting if you are a high school singer- I promise there are plenty of singing parts in this musical.  Finally, high school singers will cap our vocal week with a WCC exam on Thursday.
The Junior School Singers will be touring the elementary schools on Wednesday and Friday where our 6th grade choirs will join them in singing Cool Yule and Thinking of You.  Finally, many of our 6th grade singers will be touring elementary classrooms singing/teaching carols with the younger children.  Share the Joy!

Busy Week

We have a busy week scheduled:
The 6th grade district choir and Junior School Singers will be performing at 7 pm in the Activity Center on Tuesday, December 6th.  Please report to your check in station at 6:45 in your choir shirt.

We also have an evening performance following the empty bowls dinner at the Activity Center on Thursday, December 8th at 7 pm.  This concert commands full formal uniform.  The Show Choir will also be performing with the Southern Gateway Chorus on Sunday, December 11th at 2 pm.

Harrison Tree Lighting

The HS Wildcat Concert Choir and JS Singers had a great time at the tree lighting tonight.  You sounded great.  However, I have no pictures to post because I was too caught up in directing, singing with you and having fun to remember to take a few pictures.  If any of our Harrison Voices parents took some pictures, please e-mail them to HarrisonVoices@gmail.com so we can post them here on HarrisonVoices and possibly on the Music Booster's Facebook page and district web-site.  The city of Harrison had a videographer on hand, so check out their website in a few days to see if they have posted a link to some of the video of the parade and our singers.

Enjoy your Families/Memorize your Music

Our various Holiday performances begin during the week after Thanksgiving Break.  The Wildcat Concert Choir and the Junior School Singers will be performing at the Harrison Christmas Tree lighting on December 3rd, the 6th -8th grade singers have a Holiday concert on December 6th, all high school students perform on the 7th (daytime) and the 8th evening with our Show Choir performing on the 11th and again on the 13th in Harrison.  Whew!  A busy season coming upon us fast- let's all make sure we enjoy our time together and our love of making music!

JS Variety Show this Friday

Come out and enjoy the Junior School Variety Show on Friday in the activity center at 7pm.  The Junior School singers will be the opening act.  Students should wear their choir shirts, jeans and comfortable shoes.  I got a preview of the show today and it looks like a lot of fun!
