Tidal Wave Auto Spa Fundraiser
Two weeks ago, Grissom Choir will kick-off its 2nd fundraiser of the school year, a Tidal Wave Auto Spa Car-Wash Fundraiser.  Each ticket can be sold for $10 (valued for the $20 Car Wash), of which $5 will go towards the student’s individual My Music Office Account.  This is an easy and fast way to raise money for Grissom Choir related fees!  Tickets were made available for check-out starting Monday, October 9th in the Grissom Choir room, and students will need to turn in all monies raised on Monday/Tuesday.  Any tickets not sold will need to be turned in to the Grissom Choir Money Box along with said monies.  Please visit www.grissomchoir.com/fundraisers for more information!

All-State Auditions
The 2023 All-State Choral Festival Auditions will be held on Wednesday, November 8th, which is only 3 weeks away!  More information has just been emailed out, including the Permission-to-Travel Form.  However, there are several students who have yet to receive their All-State music due to lack of payment.  These fees have been posted on My Music Office, and music has been available for students to pick-up once payment is received (MMO or Money Box).


Sincerely,
