Parents, we are sending home this permission slip tomorrow with each of our young men.  If you would like them to stay after school on Monday, rather than coming home on the bus, please sign it and return it by Monday.  Thank you!  Just The Guys permission slip to stay

In case our Just The Guys Parent Letter didn’t quite make it home….here is a copy JUST FOR YOU!!!   Enjoy your weekend!

Just The Guy Concert – Last Reminders and Information October 6, 2017
When: Monday, October 16th, 2017 at 7:30 p.m.
Where: Northridge High School Auditorium

Auditorium Doors will open at 7:10 or so

Reminders:
What should the boys wear? They need their black pants, black socks, and black shoes. (black gym shoes are fine). They need their long-sleeved, white dress shirt (with a collar). The boys will be given their green ties before the show.

What time do the guys need to be at Northridge High School?
We are giving the boys two options to report for call time. They can either stay after school with us and do homework, watch a movie, eat a snack, etc. and then walk over to the high school with us
– OR
They can go home as they normally would, and have you drop them off at the high school at 5:25 p.m.
If they are staying for the “long haul”, they must remember to bring their show clothes to school. We will need to change at NMS because changing facilities aren’t available at the high school.
If you are dropping them off, they will need to be taken around the back of the school by the pool and auditorium parking lot. They should enter door 15 and go directly to the NHS Choir Room. We will have guides to help them find the choir room.

Our Performance Day Schedule for them will be as follows:
3:40 NMS School Dismissal
3:45 Either students go home or report to the choir room to do homework or watch a movie.

Thank you parents for helping make this special night possible!

Mrs. Armington / Mr. Norwood

p.s.
If a choir student is ill and does not attend school school policy does not allow him perform with us. He will receive a make-up assignment when he returns to school.

If a student misses a mandatory performance (like this one), without an excused absence and a completed make up assignment, their grade will be lowered one full step at the end of the 9 week grading period.

We just received a note from the high school music parents regarding SwingFry.  They said that many of you haven’t signed up for a shift yet.  They need to make sure every committee is filled, so if you haven’t taken the time to sign up for your SwingFry Volunteer Shift, please do so this week.  You can click the Sign Up Genius Tab above and select SwingFry to find a shift and a job that will suit you and your family’s needs.

2ndly, they need quite a few more baked goods donated for the baked sale.  If you didn’t get a chance to complete a bake sale form you may sign up using this link:  Bake Sale Sign Up

Many of you have submitted Silent Auction items.  THANK YOU!!!

Finally, we just wanted to remind you to order your dinner/show tickets for SwingFry in advance.  This will save you a few dollars, and help you avoid lonnnnnnnnng ticket lines!  You have until October 24, 2017 to order advanced tickets.

BTW, your kids are singing their hearts out right now.  We are happy, happy, happy, with their progress!!

This is how we settle down after lunch! How cute is this?!  

Wowee Kazowee! These kids were the top Choir Beasts in their classes this week! A few of them are even earning the nickname “PIPES” because they’ve got such big voices and are leading their sections! These kids have been truely Llam-tastic this week! We love having their help each day! Two Hooves Up to all of them!!  (Click on our Facebook link to see their pictures!)

2ndly, A reminder to all of you who have signed up to chaperone.

You will need to go here —> https://www.mcsin-k12.org/hr/volunteer/form.cfm and complete the background consent form if you haven’t already filled one out this year.  It will last for the entire year and can be used for any school functions you are helping supervise.  At the bottom you just click “Submit” and you are done.  Please try to get this completed this week.  (I’d give you a Llama-rrific sticker….but that would be difficult!)

Finally,  If you have any “gently used” choir black pants, black skirts, white shirts, or black dress shoes that your child has grown out of, would you please donate those to our CHOIR CLOSET?  We can pass them on to students who are in need.  Thank you!

Our sixth grade class after lunch!  Wait until you hear them!  And yes, this us one class!!!l
