DON’T FORGET REHEARSAL IS AT ST.PETER EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH ON 648 NORTH LAFONTAINE STREET. SINGER SHOULD ENTER THE CHURCH FROM THE LAFONTAINE ENTRANCE NOT THE POLK STREET ENTRANCE.
The calendar says "no rehearsal" for Oct. 31st. Sharon would like to have a rehearsal since we have the Victory Noll performance is that Saturday (Nov. 5th) Students can come in Halloween costumes if they wish, and kids will get Halloween treats! We understand if your child can not make it.
Saturday, Nov. 5 - Victory Noll performance for both choirs (call time 6:45 pm, performance at 8:00 pm). Be looking for a performance detail sheet which will be emailed or sent home by Sharon sometime this week.
The calendar mistakenly shows Treble Choir singing for Lion’s Club at HU on Nov. 14th. This performance will be the CONCERT CHOIR ONLY. The date will be NOVEMBER 21st.
Monday, Nov. 21- Concert choir performance at Lion's Club. Concert choir singers need to come to rehearsal dressed in their formal uniform. Rehearsal times for concert choir are the same (6:45 - 8:00). Treble choir will dismiss at 6:45 so that concert choir has time to prepare for the performance.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused!!!!
Mixed bag sales are due back Monday October 24. If you forget to bring them please contact Cathy Cady at clcady2006@yahoo.com . So you can set a time to get the order to Cathy.
$70.00 Tuition Payment is due October 24.
