- Please watch for 2 postcard type invitations for our concert to come home. These are to share with your family and friends, and more are available upon request.
- Also watch for a sample Christmas card for our fundraiser, with information about how you can order those.
- You will also be given information about ordering your 2 complimentary tickets to our show.
- Please like us on Facebook, and refer people to vpafoundation.org. Spread the word, and help us to sell out our 2 shows! We need everyone to sell tickets and promote the shows, they are going to be very enjoyable, and will really help you get into the "Spirit of Christmas"
The Children's Chorus kids are so awesome! They sing with enthusiasm, and they are so quick to learn the music. They are really getting into the choreography, and I think singing "It's the Holiday Season" with Dave Sweeney, our Master of Ceremonies will be very fun. Here are some choir assignments and decisions for the show that will be fun to know.
Soloists for "The Angels Came to Sing" are:
Rachel, Maya, Alena, Lizzy in that order. It was really hard to choose the solos, because everyone did such a nice job auditioning. Over half the choir auditioned--and they were all really strong singers. WOW!
Artists
Connie and Lizzy will be providing the art for 2 large pictures postcards we will use in the concert for "The Christmas Tree Feud". I had the kids draw pictures for memory visual aid for "The Angels Came to Sing". I chose the artists based on what I saw, and who wanted to do the art-but they all did a nice job making pictures
Actors
There are a few scripted lines before the "Christmas Tree Feud". I had everyone who wanted to read for me, and then I chose Jacob and Maisie for the parts.
Sign holder Britan will carry one of the postcard signs and have a bit part giving it to the postal woman in the show.
Notables move! What a happy group!
Most of the kids were off the music this week, and they really began to sound like a real choir, watching me for cut offs, and singing in a unified way. I'm happy to see the progress that they have made since last week. Thank you for encouraging practice at home--please continue to encourage it, and I will continue to have candy for those who bring me a note from you saying they practiced.
We are working on a major entrance for "The First Noel/Pachelbel" arrangment. They are dancing on to stage holding battery operated candles. It should be pretty effective, but we have a lot of refining to do! Please encourage your child to head over to the portable as close to 3:00 PM next week as they can. We are having rehearsal Tuesday Nov. 22 for sure!
Have a great week!
