So many things to do...

There are a multitude of singing responsibilities for our chorus this December, ranging from promoting Mansfeld to a feeder school to supporting our instrumental department!! With so much to do, I created a link to download the information. (See Picture below)

The students should have brought home a hard copy of this (click here) . Please keep in mind that if you have any questions, please call me on my cell, 520-241-9329. I will try to get back to you as soon as I can!






This Thursday!!!



The Mansfeld chorus has been asked to help with the parking for the UofA / ASU game. Volunteer students should stay after school to work until about 7:00. I think that they can be picked up at that time. They (the students) should dress WARM!
This activity will assist the chorus in getting funding for our trips to Phoenix this school year.

Pictures of Tucson High rehearsal, 11/23/2010







These are the first rehearsal pictures...I stacked them on each other. Thanks to Spencer and her handy dandy camera on her phone, we have these. It was good to see so many former Mansfeld students in choir at THMS...AND THIS WAS ONLY ONE OF THE CHOIRS!!! More former students will be at the concert on December 8, I hope you parents will be there to see this event. I am really proud of our Mansfeld singers!!

We Went To Tucson High Today!

Well, we did it! We went to Tucson High and sang with their concert choir. We saw many of our old classmates in choir and reheased through Handel's "See the Conquering Hero Comes." The students were most impressed with Ms. Jurmin and with the sound from the THMS Concert Choir. I hope that they are inspired to do well here at Mansfeld! There will be some pictures of this activity coming on later tonight...Stay tuned!

Rats...

....hear that?....they are the winds of change....





The field trip to Tucson High has been rescheduled to next Tuesday, November 23, same time, same rehearsal site, different day.


It seems that there are many issues with grades and missing some classes at this time would not be advantageous to all. Yes, as I have said many times, grades do count!


We will be rehearsing our Winter show with the additional songs as well as more work on "See the Conquering Hero Comes" and a new piece for our already full plate, a collaboration piece with the Mansfeld band. The piece is called "I'll be home for Christmas" and we will sing it during the Advanced band concert.





Monsters Inc--We're M-I? @ Mansfeld!

Tucson High Tomorrow!

Today, we took a peek (By peek I mean we sang through the entire set list.) at what we will be singing in the future (and by future I mean next month) for the Mansfeld band/orchestra winter concert. I don't know about you but, I'm definitely look forward to that! Tomorrow we will be walking to Tucson High to practice singing See The Conquering Hero Comes with one of the Tucson High Choirs. We will depart from school in the middle of second period. We should be back before the end of third period, but for sure we will be back before fourth period. December 7th, we will perform with them for the Tucson High winter concert and, there is a chance we might sing our own song at the concert, but that's not up to us to decide.


By the way, Breanna G is the new student of the week!
