Introducing our holiday canned food drive contest: Choirs vs Cheerleaders

To hopefully increase the overall number of canned goods collected for the Mayor's Fund:  Harrison Voices is having a collection contest against all of the cheerleaders to bring in the most canned goods.  The contest starts next Monday (December 2nd) and finishes next Friday (December 6th).  So we have one week to bring in the most canned goods that we can.  Ladies who are in both activities should bring canned goods to both groups.

To encourage you to really get involved in this project, I am holding a secondary contest between Junior School choir students and High School choir students:

The choir that has brought in the most canned goods to our choir room by Friday, December 6th will get to sing last at the Christmas Tree lighting performance on Saturday, December 7th in downtown Harrison.  That means you have the latest report time and get to close the show when the most people will be in attendance for the tree lighting.

The winning choir also gets to pick which Holiday Carols EACH GROUP gets to sing with the crowd.   So, if the High School wins, they get to go last and decide which three holiday carols they will sing with the crowd and which three carols the Junior School has to sing.   If the Junior School Choir wins, they get to go last and decide what Holiday Carols everyone gets to sing.

Use the holiday break to go shopping!!!  Clip coupons, raid home pantries, call grandmas (mine always has some stock piled).  Bring in canned goods and only canned goods.

Good Luck everyone!!!

Busy Week

Last week was a busy week.  All choirs did a great job on Tuesday with the Veteran's Day Ceremony Performance.  I am very proud of the respect our students have shown to those who serve our country.

We will continue to audition solos for the Holiday Concert next week.  Pictures from my training trip to Rome are posted on the Harrison Voices Facebook page.
