Buff City Soaps Fundraiser
Two weeks ago, Grissom Choir kicked-off its 3rd fundraiser of the school year, a Buff City Soaps Fundraiser.  Each item can be sold for varying amounts, of which 50% will go towards the student’s individual My Music Office Account.  This is a great and simple way to raise money for Grissom Choir related fees!  Order forms were made available, and students had 2 weeks to sell.  All monies will need to be turned in to the Grissom Choir Money Box (and order forms turned in) THIS COMING MONDAY/TUESDAY in order to receive items in a timely manner.  Please visit www.grissomchoir.com/fundraisers for more information and to access the order form for some last-minute selling!

All-State Audition Date
The 2024 All-State Choral Festival Auditions are officially set for SATURDAY, November 9th, which is only 2 weeks away!  More information was emailed out last week concerning all things related to auditions, as well as handed out in class this week.
