2 things!!!

I’m sure that a lot of you were holding off signing up for volunteer positions until you finished with all of your Thanksgiving festivities but the Tech Rehearsal, Dress Rehearsal, and Shows are next week! Yikes. We have some big “emergency” needs so please carefully read through these and see if there is a way you can help. Then go to sign up genius and sign up for that job. P.L.E.A.S.E.

Here is what we need for each grade:

Grade 6 Concert 1 Chaperone: need 1, Concert 2 Chaperone: need 2, Usher show 1: need 2, Usher Show 2: need 1, Dinner Crew need 2, Tear Down Crew need 2,

Grade 7: Dress Rehearsal Chaperone need 3, Locker Decorations need 2 (1 for each class), Concert 1 Chaperone need 2, Concert 2 Chaperone need 3, Usher Show 1 need 2, Usher Show 2 need 2.

Grade 8: Dress Rehearsal Chaperones need 2, Concert 1 Chaperone need 2, Concert 2 need 2, Dinner Crew need 5, Tear down crew need 2.

2ndly, 6th grade parents or new choir student parents I wanted to let you know that you will buy your tickets by sending in money to the choir class. We will give your kids your tickets there. The cost is $3. Please let your child know what show you want them for. The 4:30 or 7 p.m. You may buy tickets to both shows if you would like! Babies and toddlers do not need a ticket. 🙂 Some volunteer positions receive 2 free tickets, such as chaperones, photographers, and locker decorations. Just tell your child what time you want those tickets for and they can ask me for them.

Thank you for supporting us during this busy time! If you have questions write me an email: armingtonj@mcsin-k12.org

Sincerely Mrs. Armington

We are sending this home with your child tomorrow. In case it doesn’t reach you here ya’ go!!

Choir Parents we wanted to thank you for your participation in last weekend’s Swingfry. It looks like our two programs made upwards of 20,000.  What a tremendous help that will be!  You would think that we could rest for a while, however, we are 18 practice days away from the Christmas program!  That means a few things. 

 First, we need you to check your calendars for any conflicts.  We will have a tech rehearsal for any students with special parts on Tuesday, Dec. 5.  A full-dress rehearsal that everyone is expected to attend on Thursday December 7th, and the two concerts on Saturday, Dec. 9^th at 4:30 and 7:00 p.m.  If you have a conflict with the Dress Rehearsal or Concerts, please either print a copy of the concert conflict form found on our website, or have your child get one for you.   These will need to be turned in by Monday, November 20th.  Students with conflicts will be given an Essay to write to complete the points for this concert.  

Finally,, we will need you to return to nmschoir.org and look under the sign-up genius tab.  We will need many volunteers for this big concert.  We will need Concert 1 or 2 Chaperones, Dress rehearsal chaperones, Water, treats and locker decoration donations, as well as ushers, dinner crew, and box office help.  Please lend a hand where you can!  

Thanks again for all your help for last weekend’s Fall Fundraiser.  Hopefully you enjoyed yourself watching your child perform!  

Yesterday was wonderful! We just want to thank all of you for making it possible!! From buying the black and whites, to baking, serving as volunteers, and being a great audience, we couldn’t ask for more! Our volunteer slots were covered, there was a lot of silent auction and baked goods donated, and the kids were proud of themselves! Kids need to work hard and see the results of a job well done these days! Thanks to your applause they felt special! Your opinion matters most to them so thank you!! We are hoping that some of you got great videos since we had no videographer. If you did lease send us a copy!!

Armingtonj@mcsin-k12.org. Thank you again!

Sincerely, Mrs. Armington, and Mr. Norwood!

Please bring your phones or recording devices if you would like to record your student’s performance.  Unfortunately, our Videographer is unable to attend today.  If anyone happens to have capabilities and is willing to record our event please let me know.  Thank you for your understanding in this matter!  We do apologize for the inconvenience!  

See you at the Swing Fry. 

Here ya go!

The Swingfry Fundraiser’s Silent Auction is going live at noon today! Bid high!!! 🙂

Students should be dressed in their black and white concert attire when they arrive at NHS. They should be in the band room by the warmup time lined up and ready to go! A copy of this was sent home with each student, but in case it doesn’t make it here is a copy just for you!

I looked up our parent volunteers and we have NO ONE chaperoning the 7th graders on Nov. 11th! Yikes, that’s not good! We just need 2-3 to help put on ties and take attendance. You will not miss their singing!

We also are very short on Balcony Chaperones! 4:00 we have 2, which is o.k. 5:00 we have 1, we need 1 more. 6:00 we have NO ONE!!! All you have to do is watch over kids in the balcony and make sure they stay in their seats and are quiet during the performances. No one should hang over the ledge. That would be bad! 🙂

For dress rehearsal we need 2 more chaperones per grade please please please. You will serve treats and water, and oversee the kids to make sure they are quiet in the auditorium and behaving in the cafeteria. We will meet Thursday, Nov. 9th at NMS at 2:45 and walk over to the high school. You should be done by 6:15 p.m.

FOR ANY OF THESE VOLUNTEER SLOTS JUST GO TO THE SIGNUP GENIUS TAB AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE AND SIGN UP.

I know a lot of have volunteered already but if you can lend a hand we’d appreciate it very much!!

Thanks, Mrs. Armington
