Cabaret Night, the farewell concert for all Alki choirs is Tuesday, June 8, 2010. It is at the Alki Commons from 6:00 - 8:30. This is a stagger start concert with those in small groups or those performing solos expected to be there longer than those who opted to perform only in the required large group portion of the show. This required section usually runs from about 7:15 to 8:30, the length of a regular concert. As soon as the details are all ironed out, all students will take home a final order of the event so you know exactly when they will be performing.

We could still use some donations of bottled water, cookies (for the guests), peppermint penny candy and individual fruit snacks. We want to provide snack kits to performers so they stay hydrated and so they don't have to get out of their seats unless they are going on stage.

 

 


 

The Choir Handbook was discussed in class and sent home with students who requested one. Others opted to read it online to save paper. I have extras if you need one. The handbook includes grading policies, class expectations, announcements about opportunities within the program, and concert dates.

Alki Music Handbook 2009-2010 Word Copy
Attached is the music handbook that explains the classroom operating procedures and grading policy. Please complete and return the last page by October 2rd. Students who requested a hardcopy will be given one in class on September 24th. I could sure use your help in a few support roles this year. I have delineated them on the signature page. I thank you in advance as it truly takes a village to raise a choir.
