I came, I met, I conquered...

Well, I met with the PTSA and listened in on a number of things. Looks like good news is afoot (or a spleen...whatever tough audience ) for this school year!

The PTSA is going to continue to help us create a Parent's choral booster club so that we can get funding for the activities we want to do this year! It will mean some fundraising work for all you singers!

The big shoe! It seems that we should start planning to perform our 8th grade/Chorus show at the
Leo Rich theater. (click on the name for info and images)
Contact Mr Levario (thomas.levario@tusd1.org) if you would like to work on this project. Our show will premier sometime in May 2011.

The New SchoolYear..



Well everyone, it is time to start thinking of the new school year and (students) plan to do some singing! This year, chorus will be doing some performing with the 8th grade music theater group for various performances as well as working on music and singing skills. Mr. Levario will be teaching
On July 23, Mr. Levario will meet with PTSA at "Rusty's" to discuss ideas and financial issues for the coming year. The following will be shared although due to time may not be discussed fully..

Ideas for the year-
  • Another dance number for chorus
  • New music-prices and themes...

  • * Singing at the Capitol in December *

  • Purchasing rights to perform "Guys and Dolls" in late spring

  • The current state of the stage, temporary needs until actual funds can be generated for complete renovation.
  • Performing venues at either "Leo Rich theater" or the "Temple of Music and Art" for end of year musical theater/ Mansfeld promotional event. THIS IS THE BIGGIE!

  • * Advanced students in singing to represent Mansfeld in Phoenix choral festival. (April) *

  • All "arts students" (at least chorus and musical theater) to work on purchasing tickets to attend "Wicked" in the spring. Tax credit would be great for this!

Any thoughts and ideas, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE comment on this blog!!!

* Transportation funds, ideas needed...
