Middle School Choir Contest

STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE COME HOME WITH A YELLOW PIECE OF PAPER WITH THIS INFORMATION/PERMISSION SLIP TODAY

Dear Parents and Students,

This year the 7th and 8th Grade Choirs are participating in the OMEA Middle School Large Group Adjudicated Event. This will take place at:

Big Walnut High School on Saturday May 14, 2016 at 9:40am

This is an opportunity for our ensembles to perform along with other ensembles from schools in our area for adjudicators (who are music educators.) There will be 3 judges who watch the performance and then one of them will escort our ensembles to another performance space and run a rehearsal with the group. This is a great opportunity for the students to receive some constructive criticism and for the directors to gain some professional development. There will be concessions available at the school if students want to bring money for snacks.

Parents are welcome and encouraged to come and watch the performances (though they are unable to watch the rehearsal.) Please arrive early if you wish to watch as the door cannot be opened during a performance. Maps and directions to the school are forthcoming.  Once students are done performing, we will regroup in our homeroom and from there we will wait for the other ensemble to perform. If a parent comes to watch, you are welcome to take your child home. All other students will ride the bus back to Centerburg.
