Double H

Wow!  Double H Showcase was a huge success!  Thanks to everyone- students, parents, boosters, alumni, friends, grandparents, other choir members, band members and teachers who helped.  We needed over 100 volunteers to pull off this mountain of an undertaking and we did it!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
All show choir students take Monday morning to finish recuperating and we will get back to rehearsal on Tuesday.

Need Helpers

The Double H Showcase is a show choir competition hosted by our school on Saturday, February 22nd, 2014.  We are in need of many student and adult helpers including homeroom monitors for the event.

Since many of our parents are working concessions, ticket taking & other shifts we are in danger of not have enough room monitors for the entire day. 

Please recruit people and sign-up for a shift if you can help.  Homeroom monitors only need to be adults--over 21--and able to sit in a room for four hours, and be responsible for watching the room.  That is all it takes.  If you are under 21 and would like to help you may contact Bryant Downey at badowney@gmail.com to volunteer for a concession shift.

The site to sign up for any other helper (like homeroom monitor, parking, security, etc) is www.signupgenius.com and search for "double.h.showcase@gmail.com”

Thanks for all you do--and are going to do for our students in the choral music department.

Solo & Ensemble Canceled

Due to the weather, the Solo & Ensemble event for tomorrow has been canceled.  I enjoyed listening to everyone in class perform today.

Saturday at Elder

Saturday is the OMEA Solo & Ensemble contest.  Many students have prepared solos for the contest and we have registered four large ensembles.  If you are preparing for Saturday's competition I encourage you to practice on your own during this time away from school.  If you are in Show Choir and do not have another solo or ensemble performance scheduled for Saturday you will now be free on Saturday.  Due to the time we needed during the last few weeks to prepare for Portsmouth and the lost days this week, Show Choir has not had time to properly prepare the Classical piece for OMEA Solo & Ensemble competition.  I am withdrawing that chamber ensemble along with Madrigal from the Elder contest.  Please email or text me with any questions.

Helping Hands

Mrs. Vidal and a couple of parents are helping stitch some velcro into our guys vests tomorrow afternoon. The velcro makes it easier for our guys to make the costume change. If anyone can stop by the Activity Center between 3-6:30 pm to help - we would love every extra set of hands.
