Grissom Choir Chick-fil-a Spirit Night
THIS Tuesday evening, April 8th, Grissom Choir will be hosting a Spirit Night at South Parkway Chick-fil-a.  All you need to do is receive a flyer in class or at the door, & mention Grissom Choir when ordering so that the proceeds benefit Grissom Choir. Come out and support!

Driven Coffee Roasters Fundraiser
This week, we will begin a last-chance fundraiser to help students off-set their Basic Support Fees, Uniform Fees, & Trip Fees: Driven Coffee Roasters!  All information concerning this fundraiser will be discussed in class.  This fundraiser has the potential to sell really well as it is a completely online fundraiser, with items being purchased by the customer and shipped directly to them!

Spring Concert Performance
Our Spring Concert is quickly approaching!  This year, the concert will be on the evening of Tuesday, April 29th at 7:00pm. Student call time is at 5:30pm in full Concert Uniform (tuxes & dresses). 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.

Spring Concert Final Rehearsal
There will be a required final rehearsal on Monday, April 28th 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 Spring 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.
