Updated Grissom Choir Block Scheduling Concerns
Thank you to the Grissom Choir Stakeholders who have already reached out to HCS Board Members regarding the potential detrimental impact a 4x4 Block Schedule would have on Grissom Choir.  Please see the Updated Letter that was emailed out this morning concerning ways that you will be able to make your voices heard.

Winter Concert Performance
Our Winter Concert is quickly approaching!  The concert will be held on the evening of Tuesday, December 10th at 7:00pm. Student call time is at 5:30pm in their Concert Uniform attire, upon which new students will receive the week after Thanksgiving.  Admission to this concert is $10 for all adults, and $5 for students, with doors opening at 6:45 for seating.  Please remember that it is a requirement for all Grissom Choir members to participate in our public concerts.

Winter Concert Final Rehearsal
There will be a required final rehearsal on Monday, December 9th for all students directly after school. It is imperative that all students are present at this rehearsal in order to figure out how we will be getting on & off the stage, and to have a final run-through with our accompanist. Students that are not present at this rehearsal will not be allowed to perform at the Winter Concert.  Men’s & Women’s Choir students will be dismissed by 5:30pm, Concert Choir students by 6:30pm, & Chamber Choir by 7:30pm.  Please remember that it is a requirement for all Grissom Choir members to participate in our final rehearsals.
