2015 JHS All Choral Ensemble Rehearsal Dates

Dear Friends,

Welcome back to The JHS Vocal Department's 2015-2016 season!!

I am looking forward to creating and singing with all our vocal ensembles.  

We have many wonderful opportunities in store for our members this season: our two in school concerts, the Jenkintown Rotary Holiday Celebration, The Annual JHS Talent ShowCase, our newly-formed annual fund raising concert events throughout the community, as well as the launching of our new MusicFirst program; which will be used as a teaching tool to facilitate better ear-training and sight-singing skills.

Please make note of all the dates posted below.  Many of our 7-12 singers will be involved in these rehearsals.  All rehearsals are mandatory!  Missing a rehearsal will result in a lower grade.

Be well!

Lys

The Art Garage Performance May 30 2015

May 7^th, 2015

Dear Friends,

The performance information has now gone "public".   Please check out the Art Garage web-site: www.mtairyartgarage.org.  There are wonderful pictures and a write-up about the event.

  

Our next two rehearsals are critical to the success of the performance.​  We will meet this coming Monday, May 11 at 7:15 p.m. and May 18^th, also at 7:15 p.m.

ALL performers must attend.

On May 30^th  we will meet at 4:45 p.m. at the Art Garage for a rehearsal in the space.  The rehearsal will be from 5:00-5:45 p.m. You must be on time!!!!!  Parking is a challenge in this area; please leave ample time to secure a spot for the evening.

The students will then have time to go out and have dinner with you.

All performers must be back at the Art Garage NO LATER than 7:15 p.m.  Our performance attire will be: Casual Nice.

Tickets are now available at a special price for the families and friends of our performers.  The prices are: $12.50 for adults, children 10 and under-free.  If you are interested in obtaining tickets, I will need payment (in cash-or a check made out to Mt. Airy Art Garage) and a list of the names of those needing tickets; that way I can put all the names on one list and have a “guest list” waiting at the door upon arrival.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me: 215-280-0766 or davidsona@jenkintown.org.

Thank you for being part of this very special event.

Take Care,

Lys
