Messiah Rehearsals have begun!

We are excited to have begun our rehearsing for our annual Messiah performance! A Cappella students have been rehearsing Messiah music on Tuesdays and Thursdays in class with Ms. Smith and Mr. VanTilburg. And on Sunday 11/6, we will have our 2nd combined rehearsal in the choir room from 3-4:30pm with the A Cappella Choir, Chamber Choir, and many adult staff and community members. Choir students are allowed to miss TWO of the Sunday rehearsals without a grade penalty. Please see calendar at the right for scheduled rehearsals. There are also schedules available for students to take home at the Sunday rehearsals. If you are a parent who is a singer, consider joining your son/daughter on our Messiah experience! Rehearsal CD's have been made available this year for all students and adults who wanted one. Students have also been encouraged to purchase their own Messiah music score, if personal finances allow. The Celina music store sells them for around $8.50. You might find a used score online for even less. Having their own score allows the students to highlight their own part and mark the music as they wish- they can also take home their own scores to have for individual practice. Students without their own scores use the choir department's scores which are in various states of condition from years of use.

Rehearsal for Night at the Opera

On Wednesday November 16th, HS choirs will rehearse their music and be placed onstage for the coming weekend's performances at the following times:

A Cappella Choir: 1:00-3:00pm

Chamber Choir: 2:40pm-4:00pm

Please note this is the ONLY time A Cappella choir will be onstage to rehearse before the concert.

Our first performances of the year are 11/18-11/19 in the Ed Complex Auditorium! Tickets will go on sale during the week of 11/7. All seats are general admission and will be sold for $5. This will cover the costs of the music, performing rights, and costumes for the production, as well as supplement the cheese and sausage fundraiser. By the way- we earned just over $1800 in profits from our sale. Thank you to all who purchased items and of course to the many students who sold items!
