Parents of All State Chorus Students:
We are looking for volunteers to join us for the All State Chorus festival in Birmingham on March 6-9. This would entail transporting students to Birmingham, and to and from rehearsals daily. Additionally, each chaperone would be assigned to a room with 2-3 singers. Ideally, we would love to have 4 chaperones (one for each student room), and if we were able to accomplish this- cost would be right around $200 per person. This price would also include breakfast each morning. We will be staying at the Embassy Suites, about 3 miles from Samford University.
Please let me know if you are interested. Once I know who would like to join us, I will calculate final numbers and send information packets home to everyone. We had a great time at the All State Show Choir Festival last week, and I am positive that All State will be just as enjoyable of an experience.
-Mrs. D
A Very Performer Thanksgiving Feast!

Ensemble and Performers to Put on Dessert Theater!
Next month, Ensemble and Performers will put on a Dessert Theater to help us advertise for Follies and raise money for the Choral Department. We will hold this event on February 16th in the First United Methodist Church's Family LifeCenter at 7pm.
Our theme for this event, and for Follies, is Music Through the Decades. Parent volunteers are needed to help organize, provide materials and food for this event. Rhonda Hilliar and Rhonda McKissack are heading up the planning committee, and you should look for an email from them soon. Please mark your calendars!

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year's celebration. We have only been back in school for two days, but we've already hit the ground running.
As you all know, this year has been a bit chaotic with changes in the HHS choral department and with our much anticipated move to our wonderful new school building. In the fall, the students unanimously voted to move our Follies date to March 16th in order to have the opportunity to be the first to perform on our new stage. While this is still our plan A, we have decided that it is best to have a plan B to fall back on if we are not in the new school by that time. If the new school and auditorium is not ready by March, we have reserved the Hartselle Civic center for our Follies performance. If we perform in the Civic center, our performance will be on the evening of Friday March 15th.
We understand that this may be difficult for some families- but we are doing the best we can with the information we have. Please check back for more updates, and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Other important events coming up:
-Ensemble and Performers Dessert Theater- February 16 at First Methodist in Hartselle
-State Choral Evaluation- February 25, 26 or 27th at UMC in Birmingham
-Follies- March 15th or 16th in either the Hartselle Civic Center or in the new school auditorium
-Performers trip to St. Augustine- April 24-28
-Solo and Ensemble Festival- April 30 at Willowbrook Baptist Church in Huntsville
-Spring Concert- TBA

Popcorn and Mixed Bag Fundraisers
Hi Everyone!
Please make sure your student picks up his or her Popcorn and Mixed Bag fundraiser products at school this week. They are all in, and need to be distributed to our customers.
Thank you so much for supporting us in both of these fundraising endeavors- we will post final numbers soon! The funds from the popcorn fundraiser will be used to purchase items for the chorus classroom in the new school.

Reminders!
-Our Christmas concert is next Thursday, December 13th. Students need to be at East Highland Baptist Church, ready to sing by 5pm. The concert will start at 6pm.
-The Christmas concert is being held on the same evening as the Hartselle Christmas parade. We know that some roads will be closed in preparation for the parade, and advise you to take the Hartselle bypass to get to the church. Please make sure to leave plenty of time to get there, as traffic may be heavy.
-Many students still have not paid and/or picked up their outfits and shoes. Most of the dresses and pants will need to be hemmed, so please make sure you have enough time to get this done before the concert.
-We still need batteries for the concert. We will be using electric candles, and each student needs 2 AA batteries to operate theirs. Please send some to school as soon as possible.
Thanks so much! We can't wait to share our music with you next week!
