Dear Gregory Chorus Families,
We are in the home stretch of the school year, so I wanted to make sure everyone had the following events & dates on their radar:
- Students in Gregory's honors chorus, Concert Choir, will continue to be rehearsing Tuesday AND Friday mornings for the next two weeks heading into our final performance (see info further below), so only FOUR remaining rehearsals (5/16, 5/19, 5/23, and 5/26)…please be on time (in the room by 6:55am)!
- Wednesday, May 17 - B/O/C Trip to Funway - for students who signed up to attend, we will be heading to Funway after school, and will be back at Gregory at 8:15pm. See the emails Mrs. Lauff has been sending through Synergy for further details.
- Saturday, May 20 - Fine Arts Festival at Neuqua Valley HS Main Campus. This is our final curricular performance of the school year, and attendance is mandatory for all chorus students. Here is a reminder of the schedule:
8th Grade Chorus - report to the Neuqua orchestra room at 11:00am; performance in the auditorium from 12:00-12:20pm.

Concert Choir/Men's Ensemble/Mixed Vocal Ensemble will not be performing at the Fine Arts Festival. Attire for all singers will be nice, dress clothing (please no jeans, gym shoes, athletic attire, etc.). All performances are open to the public!
- Week of May 22-26 - COMBO students will be in B/O all week; please be sure to complete your Fine Arts Festival concert reflection assignment posted in Google Classroom as this is a major component of your 4th quarter grade and must be completed by the posted due date.
- Thursday, May 25 - Auditions for Neuqua Valley HS WildScats vocal jazz ensembles for interested 8th grade students enrolled in a curricular B/O/C class at Neuqua next year. Information and audition materials posted in Google Classroom.
- Tuesday, May 30 - Southside Honors Choir Concert at Neuqua Valley HS Main Campus - Gregory CONCERT CHOIR STUDENTS ONLY - 7:00pm. Report to the Neuqua orchestra room by 6:20pm. Attire is the gray Gregory Music polo shirt & black dress pants/shoes. All are invited to attend the performance in the Neuqua auditorium!
- Wednesday, May 31 - End-of-Year Music Turn-in Party - 3:10-3:45pm - Gregory CONCERT CHOIR/MEN'S ENSEMBLE/MIXED VOCAL ENSEMBLE STUDENTS ONLY. Please have all your music from those ensembles to turn in; you should have nothing left in your folder heading into the summer. If you would like to bring a sweet or salty treat to share (we have about 25 students total), please email me to let me know.
Thank you all for a terrific year in chorus!
