Tree Lighting

Great job tonight at the Tree Lighting everyone!  Watching the Harrison High School Bands  in the parade, singing a few preview songs from our JS & HS choir concerts next week, visiting a few downtown shops and then grabbing a late coffee at The Coffee Peddlar was perfect.  Thanks City of Harrison!

Tree Lighting and Show Choir rehearsal

Reminder for Show Choir: we have rehearsal tomorrow morning at 9am in the commons (until noon).

Reminder for HS Concert Choir, Treble Cats, Junior School Choir, Show Choir and the 6th graders who volunteered to attend: we are singing at the Harrison Tree Lighting after the Christmas parade in downtown Harrison tomorrow night.  See everyone there.

Saturday, December 6th is our annual performance at the Harrison City Tree Lighting at the firehouse in downtown Harrison.  All 7th -12th grade choir members have this as a required/graded performance and 6th graders may participate for 12 IWAA points.  We sing after the parade.  Please see the Performance Alert for specific details.

Thursday, December 11th is the High School Holiday Concert in the Martin Marietta Theater at the Activity Center.  This is a graded performance for all high school choir students.  Doors open around 6:30pm (or as soon as we complete our Yearbook pictures) and the curtain opens at 7:00pm.  Please see this week's Performance Alert for all details.

Saturday, December 13th is the High School Show Choir Lock-in and Tuesday, December 16th we sing at Wesbanco at 3pm.

IWAA opportunity

Choirs: here is a great IWAA service opportunity.  Sign up and help with Empty Bowls Charity Event at the Activity Center on Saturday, November 15th.  Remember that Junior High students will need parent permission and supervision to help. http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0f48acaf22a4fc1-empty   More IWAA opportunities to follow later this semester- but this one is a great cause.

Fundraiser here on Friday

The music fundraiser products will be here on Friday afternoon.  Remember that many of these items are refrigerated so they need to be picked up either by students (JS: in the JS band room on their way to the bus after school; HS: in the Rock Lab on their way to the parking lot) or by parents (before  4pm).

Fall Concert

Fall Concert for 7th- 12th grade choirs is this Tuesday. Singers report by 6:45pm. The curtain opens at 7pm and admission is free to all.  Show Choir has a workshop on Sunday the 19th from 5:30- 9:30pm

October is heating up!

Thanks for everyone who helped with the spaghetti dinner on Saturday.  The music boosters are having a bake sale after school on Monday.  Students that help with the bake sale will be allowed to put the proceeds toward their costume or trip funds.  Please see Mrs. Purdy or Mr. Egan during lunch to volunteer for this opportunity.

Our NYC signup deadline is Wednesday and orders for the cookie/cheese fundraiser are also due that day.  The last volunteer opportunity (for IWAA points) for first quarter is the band competition this Saturday, October 11th.  Shift times are 9am- 2pm or 4pm-10pm (you are also permitted to work a double shift for two quarters worth of IWAA points).  Sign up with Mrs. Purdy.

Our Fall concert is Tuesday, October 14th.  Student singers must arrive by 6:45pm.  The doors open at 6:30pm and curtain is at 7pm.  Students should wear their informal choir uniform (because our formal uniforms won't be in yet).  Admission to all of our quarterly concerts are FREE and we encourage all friends, family and community members to come and enjoy the show.  We still need a few parent volunteers to sell music booster raffle tickets at the door and Harrison Voices car stickers.

The Show Choir dance workshop has been moved to Sunday, October 19th and the NEW time is 5:30pm-9:30pm (because our choreographer has been called to fulfill her obligation to the Army that weekend and she won't be back in Harrison until after 5).  The MANDATORY parent meeting for Double H Showcase is Thursday, October 23rd at 7pm in the Activity Center Auditorium.  Each Show Choir student needs to have at least one of their two required adult Double H volunteers at this meeting. 

Parky's Farm is Saturday, October 25th.  The sign-up for this trip fund event will be out this week.
