Honors Chorale Update

Dear Friends,
We will be having Pizza tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. We will begin rehearsal promptly at 7:30 p.m. and go for an hour and 15 minutes.

You must come prepared to work-no talking-no silly behavior. We have too much work to do to waste time.

We have two performances next month: February 3/24. Both are in the community, and a great way to begin our focus towards our Adjudication performance and Spring Concert. In March, we go to Harrisburg.

Please, I emphasis strongly, positive behavior towards the process and each other.

If you'd like to have dessert at the conclusion of our session tomorrow night, please bring some for all of us to share.

IMPORTANT!!!!
Please put on your calendars our recording session.
March 5th 2016 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.
We will record 3 selections for a CD, which we will use as a fund raiser.
We will choose our repertoire for this event as we get closer to the date.
ALL MEMBERS MUST ATTEND!!!!!

Dear Parents,

The guests at Kuykendall Auditorium were truly treated to a special evening of music tonight. 145 middle and high school students sang with energy and a great deal of passion. All in attendance were highly entertained. Thank you to Lys Davidson for her time, talent, and dedication. Congratulations to the many talented students.The arts continue to thrive at Jenkintown and we thank our parents for their support of our program.
