One more Cabaret act

My mistake... Ashley Doxy and Monica Kraeger's "Keep Breathing" act was left off the original list of performers. Sorry, girls!!! And congrats.

REMINDERS: 2nd Round All-State Audition and Bel Voce MLK Performance

Tonight (1/20): ALL-STATE CHORUS ROUND 2 AUDITIONS
Those who passed Round 1 (you 6 know who you are) should report to Hillgrove HS at least 30min prior to your scheduled audition time. Times are posted on the Chorus Room door (and have been all week). You do not need to take your music or CD with you into the audition room. However, you should dress nicely, bring water and relax. I believe in you!

Next Wednesday (1/25): BEL VOCE PERFORMS AT MLK ASSEMBLY
Bel Voce members should report to the Chorus Room at ~9:30am (time to be confirmed today). We will perform "Betelehemu"; therefore new students to Bel Voce this semester need not report. Participants, please come to school that day dressed in ALL-BLACK... clean, nicely pressed, school dress-code appropriate attire. Please use your best discretion here, folks, as I don't want to deal with any dress-code issues that morning. Thanks. I am very excited to show you off to the entire school body!

Cabaret Auditions are this week- PREPARE!

2012 Cabaret Auditions will be held this Friday (1/20) during all classes, as well as on Thursday (1/19) in 3rd Block for Bel Voce.

The order of auditionees will be posted on the Chorus Room door tomorrow and emailed out today. Please be sure to bring accompaniment tracks (and your lyrics for Mrs. Wilson's approval) to class over the next few days, as you will likely be afforded some much-desired practice time!!!
