Thank you for allowing your children to help me celebrate my birthday last week! The children have been doing a wonderful job in rehearsal. Ask your child to tell you “the marshmallow story”, to sing one of our vocal warm-ups like the “alphabet warm-up” to you, or to share how we learned the feel of 6/8 meter for our song “Lord, We Are Your People” using bouncing balls. Below is information about our Mass on Sunday and the Choral Festival as well as upcoming dates in October and November.

Musically Yours,

Our First Mass – Sunday, October 14th

Our first Mass is Sunday, October 14th at the 11:00am Mass. We will meet in the music room at 10:30am for warm-ups and to run a few pieces. Our special songs for this Mass are “Lord, We Are Your People” and spiritual “Plenty Good Room”. If your child is not with our group by the time we head to church, he/she will not be allowed to perform that day. After Mass, ALL choristers return to the music room (7th/8th grade doors) for pickup by a parent.

Proper Dress for Mass

Boys: khakis or dress pants, button-up shirts or polos, ties (for holiday masses)
Girls: dresses, blouses, knee-length or longer skirts, khaki pants
No gym shoes or jeans.

Choral Festival

This year we have seven choristers attending the SW Choristers Guild Choral Festival on Saturday, November 3rd. If your child is attending, your child will receive their music and a CD with any recordings I have so that they can practice before the event.
Special practices for the event will occur during choir times on Wednesday, October 31st from 4:00-4:45pm for Sr. Choir members going to the festival and Thursday, November 1st from 5:00-5:45pm for Jr. Choir members. Any chorister who wants to learn a piece of new music for fun is also invited, but not obligated to attend practice that week. Within the next week, I will be contacting parents about the festival about the particulars of the event and carpools.
