Greetings Jackson Chorus parents,
Your students are doing an outstanding job in chorus rehearsals. Making music with chorus is the highlight of my week. THANK YOU for allowing them to sing with me. Not only do they sound fantastic, but they are also so well-behaved during rehearsal. Several students have asked if we will rehearse next week (December 15) and the answer is yes! CHORUS CARPOOL Thank you for doing a great job with carpool. Please remember that all parents should be in the right lane. Students are NOT allowed to cross in front of cars (even if cars aren't moving). Chorus carpool is typically lasting about five minutes. I appreciate you! CHORUS SHIRTS Our chorus uniform shirt is a dry-fit (athletic) shirt. Please let me know your child's shirt size HERE. The school will provide the chorus shirt. CHORUS UNIFORM Traditionally, chorus students wear black dress pants/skirt and black shoes with their chorus uniform. THIS YEAR, our only scheduled performances are the Hawks Game and our end of the year concert in May. I have decided to modify our concert attire. We will wear our black chorus shirts (school provided) with blue jeans and tennis shoes. My hope is that we will still look uniformed without forcing our parents to shop for black dress pants/shoes. MASKS DURING PERFORMANCES While masks continue to be worn for rehearsals, APS has lifted the mask mandate for student performers. Students will no longer be required to wear masks for performances. If you wish for your student to be masked during the performance, please set that expectation with your student. Also, send me an email so I can ensure your student keeps their mask on. HAWKS GAME PERFORMANCE Saturday, January 15, 2022, The JACKSON CHORUS will perform the Star-Spangled Banner prior to the HAWKS vs. KNICKS game at State Farm Arena. Thank you to the parents who have indicated to me that their student will be performing with us. If you have not already done so, click HERE to let me know that your student will join us. The January 12 Chorus rehearsal will be a HAWKS game Star Spangled Banner Rehearsal. All students who are not participating in the January 15 performance can have a day off from rehearsal.
