Reminders about Dress

7th Grade students (and reminder to Women's Chorus and Men's Chorus), we have discussed in class and in your disclosure document with your parents what you need to wear for your concert. It is very important to be uniform. :)

Girls will wear the following:
  • A black dress OR black skirt + black shirt (to the knees or longer)
  • Black tights or nylons
  • Black dress shoes (closed or open toe; flats or heels)

Boys will need to wear the following:

  • Black (or almost black) dress pants
  • White suit shirt (button with collar; short or long sleeves)
  • Conservative tie
  • Black socks and black dress shoes

Good luck! You'll look awesome!

Christmas Concerts December 16th

WHO: Oak Canyon Choirs -- 7th, 8th, and 9th graders
WHAT: Christmas Concerts
WHERE: Auditorium
WHEN: 7th Grade -- 5:00-5:45
      8th/9th Grades -- 6:00-7:00 AND 7:15-8:15

Because of past demand of seats during the Christmas concerts, we have decided to try performing the SAME concert TWICE this year!  Parents, we'd love to see you at either the 6pm concert or the 7:15 concert (of course, if you're feeling really festive, you're welcome to come to both).

7th Graders will perform in a separate concert at 5pm.  Two choirs, one concert!  

We're excited!  See you there!

STUDENTS: remember that your CALL time begins one hour before your concert (7th: 4pm, 8th/9th grade: 5pm)

Hello!
We're almost ready for our first concert coming up on October 29th at 6pm. Remember that students need to be in the auditorium at 5pm dressed and ready to start warming up! The concert should be less than an hour long, so you should make it to your 7pm appointments.

Good luck!
