I was so pleased with the performance to these kids!  They were so cute, and they knew their stuff. The "playing" throughout the song was believable, and fun, and they sounded great.

Final Pose--When You Believe

Swingin' With the Saints

 I'm so glad the girls were able to perform this song.
They were under pressure at the end, but they pulled it off.

It was great how the audience joined in with the clapping too!

Nice Job at the Senior Center!

Performing at the Senior Center on Monday was a wonderful way to get our feet wet and prepare for the concerts this weekend.  The kids focused well, and sang their hearts out!  They looked great in their new concert attire too.  I've heard nothing but praise for the performance, and I hope they are all stoked about performing this weekend!  See you at rehearsal Thursday--3:00-4:00 for SCC and 3:10-5:00 for Footnotes at SHS.

Here are a couple of pictures from my video camera yesterday!

Footnotes Practice Help

Hi Girls and Parents of FOOTNOTES choir.  Below is a video of Swingin' with the Saints choreography.  It starts a few pages into the song, but the first bit, you know--it's just clapping and leaning starting LEFT!  Please practice till you know this independently, AND remember always start with  your LEFT foot for leaning, clapping, jazz square, Charleston etc.  See you next Thursday at 3:10 or as early as you can get to Sherwood High for rehearsal.  Thanks for practicing!

April 28 Rehearsal

Children's Chorus
Wow--we had a lot of kids gone, I guess the day of school off took it's toll on choir that day!  10 of the 19 kids were absent!  We had a good rehearsal with kids who were there, but I'm a little concerned with the fact that we only have one more rehearsal before we perform at the Senior Center!  I'm sure we'll be fine if we have good attendance this week. 

I had a rehearsal video, but my internet isn't working well right now, so unfortunately, I haven't been able to upload it yet.  Maybe later....

Senior Center Performance is at 12:10 PM on May 9.  Information is coming about the logistics of that.  You will be given a form for your child to take to school so they can be excused from class, and the parent council is working out car pooling.

Good rehearsal!  We made a lot of headway on the music.  I'm concerned about the choreography for Swingin' with the Saints, but the choreography for When You Believe is very close to being ready.

We'll be passing out the vests at choir this week before rehearsal, so get there early!

Fun rehearsal on stage!  I think we are going to be ready for the concert!  This next week we will work on stage as well, and we will have our bass and drum combo with us.  Please be ready to go at 7:45.  Could a few people arrive at 7:30 to set up the stage with risers and the piano?  This is the week for NO MUSIC, so practice and take the chance!  See you Thursday!
