Thank you all for the amazing performance on Saturday for WASSAIL! It was a truly joyful event and one of the reasons I love working with such dedicated students and parents!

We have regular rehearsal THIS Thursday, Dec. 13 from 3:50-5:05 pm. I will be passing out wristbands ( 1 per student) for Holiday Nights and we will rehearse our songs. We will also go over details for Holiday Nights. Please be sure you are present!

If you are a Bryant student, you will be released at 4:30 pm since you have an evening concert. I just ask that you make sure you get to honors choir on time – so we can begin at 3:50 pm.

The rest of the choir will stay for the remainder of rehearsal. See you Thursday!

Hello! The DSO civic is looking for a few more singers for the Nutcracker this year.  If you sang for the Nutcracker LAST YEAR, and would like to sing for them, please contact nrodriguez@dso.org.

I will NOT be part of the performances as this is our “off year.” I am simply trying to help them get a few more singers.  It will be up to parents to communicate directly with Mr. Rodriguez.

Performances are Friday, Nov. 30, Sat Dec. 1 and Sun Dec.2

Please contact Mr. Nelson Rodriguez asap for more details if you are interested. nrodriguez@dso.org
