Fun event! The "fruits" of labor in October!

Great food and an easy gig for these two volunteers!  This event helps the "Leaps for Lives" dance organization put on their annual dance showcase at the DeMeester band shell in Reid Park on October 13, 2018.  The proceeds of the showcase go to helping animal shelters as well as the Humane Society of Southern Arizona!  Thanks for getting our community service involvement "off the ground" for this coming school year girls!

Summer Chorus Volunteers helping adoptable pets!

On July 14, chorus volunteers will be assisting the "Leaps for Lives" organization to raise funds which will affect the future of many adoptable pets in Southern Arizona.  Please consider the flyer below and maybe help out with this worthy cause!  The Mansfeld chorus volunteers will assist in playing music while participants enjoy items from Tony's Deli!  Pictures coming soon!

We Need You in the Chorus Booster Club!

We are organizing a booster club to support the Bulldog Chorus!

Recognizing the need for fundraising and program support for the chorus, a group of parents are organizing a booster club for the chorus.  

Please join them on Wednesday, October 4th at 5:30 pm at the Crooked Tooth Brewery - 228 E. 6th (which has generously agreed to donate their space for a raffle basket event later this year!).  

We need help brainstorming and executing fundraising ideas like spirit shirts, singing telegrams and a raffle type / drawing event. 

Tucson High Visit and News on Future Visits

Advanced chorus visited the Tucson High Chorus to listen to each other. The Mansfeld chorus sang Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen and listened to a beautiful song from the Tucson High chorus.

We will be visiting the Tucson High chorus on November 13, January 22, May 7 and we will be performing with the Tucson High Choirs on May 8th.

We will be performing with the Tucson High Choir at 7:00 and the call time is at 6:00. The dress rehearsal for the performance is on the May 7th date from 3:30 to 5:00 pm.

We will be performing Cape Breton Lullaby by Ryan Fancy. We will practice this song separately then practice it together on those dates. 

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!!
