Performance Details!

Ok, here are the details for our two shows:

First, please remember that we have a dress-rehearsal this Thursday after school until about 3:00! Please note the ending time change.

Both shows are slated to start at 7pm. Please be at Furr this Thursday night NO LATER than 6:30! We'll meet in the cafeteria.

Next week, please be at JM Robinson on Wednesday night NO LATER than 6:30!

Please wear your chorus t-shirt and jeans at BOTH shows! In fact, let's all wear our shirts at school on the day of both shows. This Thursday and next Wednesday!

Our show at Furr should last for 20 minutes. The Chorus Jam at Robinson will be more like an hour because of multiple performances and the nature of the show.

Any questions? Please email me at brian.patterson@cabarrus.k12.nc.us

Thanks everyone! Looking forward to our shows!

Rehearsal Update

Thanks to all the parents and students for the recent questions about our rehearsal schedule! Next Monday (the 14th) we WILL NOT have rehearsal. EOG's start up that day and I don't want to keep anyone at school longer than usual! However, we DO have a concert Thursday of next week after EOG's are over! So I'd like to schedule a dress-rehearsal for Thursday (the 17th) after school until 3:00! So everyone please mark your calendars! This will give us enough time to run the show once and get chorus members up on stage in the right spots.

Keep up the great work everyone! Rehearsal sounded good today!

Save The Dates!

Everyone should have brought home a Save The Date sheet and given it to their parents that has our two major performance dates on it. If you were not at rehearsal, please see me ASAP! Thanks! BTW, the group sounded fantastic yesterday. And thanks to Mr. Barnaba for taking time out of his day to come rehearse with us! One more thing...I love seeing students in their chorus t-shirts! Wear them with pride!

First Post!

Hello everyone! I hope you like this new blog. I've found that this is a great way for students and parents to keep up with current information pertaining to chorus. Everything is pretty simple on the blog. There's a calendar link on the right side of the page that has the most up-tp-date schedule. I'm going to see if Mrs. Dabbs will put a link for this blog on the main page for Furr Elementary for easy access. You can always bookmark this page, too!
