Dear WIU Honor Junior High Choir Parents,
All of the students have received their honor choir music, and below is a link to help them prepare for the festival. We will help them learn the music some at school, but the students are ultimately responsible for learning their music.
WIU Junior Honors Chorus 2011 Preparation Information
It is important to note that at the festival, students must sing the music on their correct parts from memory when they arrive with competence. If they can't, they will be sent home from the festival. This is a true honor choir where the students are held to a high standard, which is why we gave the students the music two months in advance of the Friday, March 23, festival.
Regarding transportation, I am going to get a parking permit for each family for the day at WIU. I am trying to arrange my schedule so that I can be with them; however, I may have to teach in the morning at Edison (it is the day of the Edison Fine Arts Concert) and then meet the students at WIU. I will keep you posted on that details so that you can arrange transportation if need be.
This is so exciting that we have so many students participating. It will be a great day!
Thanks much!
