​Greetings!!
Choir uniforms will  be checked out to the students this week!  Students are responsible for the maintenance of that uniform throughout the rental period. At the conclusion of each school year, students will turn in uniforms to be cleaned and inventoried for the next year. If a uniform is lost or permanently damaged, students will be expected to cover the cost of a replacement. At the end of the year, if a student has not turned in their uniform or paid for a replacement, their grade will be held as incomplete. Rented items should NOT be permanently altered. Please do not cut any material on rented uniforms.
Women’s Uniforms
*Black Concert Dress (If the dress needs hemming, please do not cut the dress.  Hem should be just shy of touching the floor while wearing shoes.)
Black Flats (Dress Shoes)
Hair out of the face
Neutral nail polish
No jewelry
 
Men’s Uniforms
*Tuxedo Jacket and Shirt

The Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) provides a wonderful opportunity for our 9th/10th Grade Choir students with the 9th/10th Grade Honor Choir.  It will help build confidence, increase their music literacy, build their vocal production, prepare them for the highly competitive All-State Auditions and introduce them to choir friends from across our region! I highly encourage all 9th/10th Grade Students to take part in this competitive, but fun process!

  6. After the Mock Audition, students will continue to prepare the music and work with the directors until the actual audition.
  7. October 23rd is the actual audition at Birdville HS.
    • Registration begins at 5:00 PM
    • Auditions should finish by 9:00 PM
  8. If your student makes it into the 9/10 Honor Choir
    • They will receive 2 more pieces of music to learn.
    • Attend a Clinic Friday, November 10th at Trinity HS from 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM (Transportation is provided.)
    • Attend a Choir Clinic Saturday, November 11th at Richland HS from 8:00 AM until 4:00 PM
    • Present a Concert at 4:00 PM at Richland HS!
  9. Students who audition and make the Honor Choir will also receive a patch that can be placed on their letterman jacket!
 
This is an excellent opportunity for our young singers! I hope you and your student/singer will consider this opportunity! If you have any questions, please e-mail me!
