Dear Gregory Chorus Families,
We are closing in on one of my favorite days of the school year for our musicians. The final curricular performance of the school year is at the annual District 204 Fine Arts Festival at Neuqua Valley HS on Saturday, May 16. ALL CHORUS STUDENTS will be performing that day alongside other middle & high school singers and, per the performance calendar distributed at the beginning of the school year, attendance is mandatory. The schedule for the day is as follows:
7th & 8th Grade Chorus - report to the Neuqua orchestra room by 10:20am; performance in the auditorium 11:20-11:40am.
6th Grade Chorus - report to the Neuqua orchestra room at 2:20pm; performance in the auditorium 3:20-3:40pm.
Attire for the performance is "nice dress clothing" (no Gregory music polo) - please no jeans, sweatpants, gym shoes, etc.
(Please note that Gregory's co-curricular ensembles—Concert Choir, Men's Ensemble, and Mixed Vocal Ensemble—do not perform at the Fine Arts Festival)
Parents: on the day of the festival, please drop off your student in the front Neuqua circle drive at door #5 (near the auditorium entrance); students can then follow signs inside for the orchestra room (warmup area). All performances are in the Neuqua auditorium, and are open to the public. For more information about drop-off and the schedule for the day: https://www.neuquamusic.org/fine-arts-festival
Singers: please begin committing songs to memory and working through problem spots at home by using the practice tracks posted in Google Classroom to assist you.
Looking forward to a terrific day of celebrating the fine arts in District 204 and ending a great year in chorus with some awesome vocal performances!
