Our very first concert is coming up on Saturday, Nov. 12. It will begin at 3:00 p.m. We need dads to help move dance risers as a team from 3:00 p.m. – 5:45 p.m. on the NHS stage. If we could get a group of 10 I think that should be enough. Will you please email me at armingtonj@mcsin-k12.org and let me know if you are available. Our kids will all be singing from 3:45 – 6 in different time slots. You will get to see their performance from stage or the side wings if you prefer! This would also get you a free ticket for all shows. Let me know! We need you! Mrs. Armington

Monday we are sending home the final details on the JTG event. In case you haven’t received the other posts here is the low-down!
JTG is a mandatory event for only boys in choir. They will be meeting the high school guys to rehearse for the Swing Fry Concert in November. The event takes place from 3:45 until 5:30pm. A change in venue has happened. We will be meeting at NMS not NHS! So please plan on picking them up in tha back parking lot no later than 5:30 pm. I need you on time because my dog Remi doesn’t like it when I’m late!😝

During this event the boys will be fed Pizza,pop, and brownies. We need at least 2-3 parents to help serve and clean up. These parents will get a chance to hear the young men practicing on stage! They would need to be at NMS (choir and band hallway) by 4:00 One may have to go get the Pizzas from Pizza Hut. Please send me an email if you’d like to help. It should be fun watching the big guys with our littler ones! Thanks for your help in making this happen. It ends up being an unforgettable moment for our boys!

I’m not sure what has happened but each grade is missing volunteers in many areas. We can’t pull off concerts and dress rehearsals without parents behind the scenes. Please take a moment and look at the signup genius tab at the top of this page. Areas of greatest concern are chaperones, locker decorations, and ushers for each show. Please find a way to give us an hour or two. Thanks, Mrs. Armington

Dear Parents (of Choir Boys),                                                                                                      9/19/22

On the choir calendar you see that the Just the Guys Event is coming up on Thursday, October 6.  This will no longer be our JTG’s Concert it will be a party and rehearsal time for all of our boys and the high school guys to get together to practice for Swing Fry (Sat.  November 12).  The boys will ride buses over to the high school at 3:45 and stay from 4- 5:30.  Please plan on picking your child up at 5:30 and no later.  That will help us a lot.  We will have pizza, pop, and dessert for them and play some mixer games together then rehearse on stage our two Swingfry numbers.   This is a mandatory event for all boys.   

We are adding a JtG’s Concert into our schedule.  It will take place in early February.  We are still working on the date so I’ll have to pass that on to you at a later time.  Please check the choir website for updates on that show.

                                                                      Sincerely, Mrs. Armington

Thank you to Mrs Manglos and Mrs. Norwood for working with Both groups of kids. With the work of all of our students they put on an extraordinary finale after 4 days of work. Here are some pics from the finale:

Note from Mrs. Norwood;

Last call for show choir camp registrations (form in comments) – if you don’t mail it today you’ll miss the July 1 deadline. And you won’t get to sing and dance with me & Wilson . And you’ll be sad and end up living in a van down by the river.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
