The other directors and I were very disappointed with last nights rehearsal. Honors Choir members are the best singers from every middle school, and you are expected to uphold behaviors that match your musicianship. Last night I saw students chewing gum, singers were talking on stage DURING our song, talking on the phone DURING our song, students eyes were not on Maestro Markou, and students were dropping all types of objects on the stage.

Parents, your support in talking with your child about this would be greatly appreciated.

PLEASE make sure your child practices our music BEFORE coming to the center tonight.  At least for 30 minutes.  EVERYONE needs their black binder with the piece in it.

I am going to advise students the following to avoid these issue for our performance tonight:

ABSOLUTELY

1. NO PHONES
2. NO GUM
3. NO TALKING ON STAGE!
4. Bring your binder with music
5. Wear concert black (wear shoes that you are comfortable standing for our ENTIRE song)
6. Keep your eyes on Maestro Markou

Please make sure you eat a healthy dinner and drink plenty of water and USE THE RESTROOM before we meet at 7 p.m. SHARP.  I know each one of you is capable of this challenging piece with the symphony, please continue your hard work!
