Battle Hymn of the Republic Recording
While we will not be able to have a Veteran’s Day Program this year, Grissom Choir is excited to record Battle Hymn of the Republic as we did last year.  We will be recording this Wednesday, November 10th during W.I.N./Advisory. Students, please wear your “Sunday-Best” attire to school on this day, or be prepared to change into these clothes before we record.  All teachers will be notified via email of this recording.  Do remember, it is a requirement for all students to participate in this recording in order to receive credit for this annual performance.


JSU Chamber Singers Performance
We are very excited to host the Jacksonville State University Chamber Singers next week, Wednesday November 17th, during 2nd block.  This group is on their annual recruitment tour throughout Alabama, and will be making a stop at Grissom to perform for us, and speak a little about the JSU Music Department.  Alongside their performance, our Chamber Choir will perform a few songs for them and those students that would like to attend.  I will send an email out to all teachers informing them of this opportunity, and to let them know that if a Grissom Choir student is interested in coming to this performance, they may come to the auditorium during this block.  All student must be in good standing in that specific class, and must ask permission in order to attend.
