Fall Concert Performance
Our Fall Concert is here! The concert will be held on THIS COMING Tuesday, September 1st at 7:00 p.m. Students should report at 5:30 p.m. dressed in their “Sunday Best” attire. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students, with doors opening at 6:45 p.m. for seating. Please remember that participation in our public concerts is required for all Grissom Choir members enrolled in this semester. We are looking forward to sharing the hard work of our students these first three weeks of school!

Fall Concert Final Rehearsal
There will be a required final rehearsal on THIS COMING Monday, August 31st directly after school for all Grissom Choir students enrolled in this semester. It is imperative that every student be present, as we will use this rehearsal to establish entrances and exits on and off the stage, review concert logistics, and complete a final run-through with our accompanist. Students who are not present at this rehearsal will not be permitted to perform in the Fall Concert. Please plan accordingly and make every effort to avoid scheduling conflicts. Students will be dismissed  by 5:30pm that evening. Please remember that participation in our final rehearsals is a requirement for all Grissom Choir members.

European Performance Tour Concessions Stand Fundraiser
Next week, Grissom Choir will be working the concession stand at the Grissom vs. Huntsville football game on Friday September 4th! We will need 22 students and 8 parents/guardians to work. Those interested in working must be traveling on our European Performance Tour next summer. If you would like to participate, please use the link below, read ALL guidelines carefully, and sign up!

Grissom Choir Glow Run
The Grissom Choir is excited to announce that this year’s Grissom Choir Glow Run will be held on the evening of Saturday, September 19th! Proceeds from the event will benefit Grissom Choir as a whole, helping support the many expenses our department incurs throughout the school year. We are also excited to be partnering with Fleet Feet to assist with professional race-day timing and logistics, helping us provide an organized and enjoyable race experience for all participants. GCPA Board Members, alongside our Grissom Choir Leadership Team, will be organizing and staffing the event, but we will need EVERY student and parent/guardian’s help in spreading the word throughout our community and encouraging runners to register! More information about the event, including registration, can be found at www.grissomchoir.com/glowrun
Spread the word, encourage your friends and family to participate, and even consider running yourself! We are excited to make this a fun and successful event for Grissom Choir!
​
​Sincerely,
