This Week in Choir: Week 1


Good Morning Grissom Choir,


Welcome, Parents and Students, to another great year in Grissom Choir. I am very excited to see what this new year has in store. If you are returning, welcome back. I hope that this year brings opportunity for you to learn and grow as a musician. For those that are new, I welcome you into my classroom. I like to look at Grissom Choir as being unique. We not only teach and perform music, but we strive for an all-around music education that strengthens you as a musician. This encompasses learning the theory behind what we sing, the history behind what we sing, as well as the technical aspects and enjoyments of WHY we sing. I hope that this year challenges you. I hope that it instill a passion for music that you never had before.

New members will also get sized/fitted for their choir uniform this evening as well.

Basic Support Fee & Fundraising
At our parent meeting, we will discuss our annual Basic Support Fee for all students, as well as kick-off our first fundraiser of the year to off-set this cost. Information about this fee can be found in the Handbook that was sent him with all students. We ask that payment toward this fee be made, or a payment plan be instated at this meeting. Those that wish to fundraise may do so after speaking with our treasurer.
