Welcome to the New Year!

Hello chorus students and parents of Mansfeld Middle School.  The last two days of the beginning of school have been informative and beginning Monday, we start singing!

Some items to note, all chorus members have been given a handbook that they should go over with you, the parents!  The last two pages are signature forms to be returned no later than Friday. 8/11.

This year the advanced chorus is experimenting on a quarterly collaboration with the choirs of Tucson High.  Your child may have brought home 4 permission forms that allow them to walk to Tucson High for the mini concert/lesson and to walk back.  This will occur during advanced chorus and advisory time on the dates specified.  They should not miss any other class time except for chorus.  Please contact me if you have questions!

Throughout the semester, the beginning and intermediate chorus members will be experimenting with understanding their "instrument," what it is doing, and what it could be doing within the next three years...all done within the discipline of singing!

Finally, I want to extend 👉this invitation to you 👪 to attend our upcoming open house.  The date has not been solidified (at least for me) but I am assuming it is on August 24, similar to last year.  I will have information about an upcoming Advanced Chorus parent meeting regarding this years activities and fundraising. (Can't talk about that stuff in the little time given at Open House...)  The Advanced Chorus will be performing a fun piece related to that for the evening, hopefully it will be ready by then!

Thank you for supporting vocal music and fine arts in general!!
