Dear Parents,

Concert time is fast approaching and there are a few things that I feel I need to address! First of all, we have a really fun program planned for you and the kids are getting excited to show you what they have learned. If you need a reminder of the concert date and rehearsal times, note the previous post. Please take note of the following:

Costumes:

If you have ordered a costume, they will be sent home with your child the last week of November. They MUST be paid for before your child can take them home!

Practice CD’s:

Practice CD’s will be sent home with your child next week. Please help them to practice as much as possible until you are sick of hearing the same songs over and over! J The more they practice the better prepared we will all be at the concert.

Thanksgiving Break/ Trees for Charity Performance:

There will be NO classes held the week of Thanksgiving due to the kids being out of school for the majority of the week. Just make sure to practice those CD’s! J We have also decided to NOT do the performance for Trees for Charity. Thank you to those of you who responded to my e-mail, but because so many people will be out of town, we have decided to opt out of this performance.

Slide Show:

We are going to once again have a Christmas slide show in the concert this year. For those who do not know, this slide show includes pictures of your children in different Christmas settings at your home or outside, etc. If you would like your child/children to be part of this slide show, please e-mail me back ASAP so that our photographer can come to your house and take a picture of them. She will take these pictures on a couple of Saturdays of November/December and will contact you as to what time would work the best. If you would like to have your kids participate, do NOT have them in their costumes! Any Christmas attire will do---pajamas, would work too! At the end of the concert, these pictures will be available for you to purchase. The first 30 families who contact me will be able to participate! Unfortunately, that is all that we can include, so contact me SOON!

Here are the prices for props. Your child can take home the props after the concert! Please have them paid for as soon as possible. THANK YOU!
