University of Montevallo Mens & Womens Choral Festivals
This school year, the University of Montevallo will be hosting a 1 day SSAA & TTBB Honor Choir on Friday, January 28th.  For those students in our own Women’s and Men’s choir at Grissom, we will be traveling down via bus on this day to participate in this great festival. The price of this field trip is included in our basic support fee (students will need to bring money for lunch and dinner).  More information was emailed out this past Wednesday to our 2 choirs participating.  All students will receive permission-to-travel forms this week, which will be due this Friday!


Chamber Choir Pre-AMEA Preview Concert
We are very excited for our Chamber Choir to perform at this year’s Alabama Music Educators Association In-Service Conference on January 20th in Birmingham.  Our students have been working diligently creating a wonderful concert, and want to share their music with those students, parents, family members, and general supporters who will be unable to make the drive down to Birmingham for the performance. In lieu of this, Grissom Choir will be hosting a Pre-AMEA Preview Concert on the evening of January 18th, 2022 at 7:00pm.  Admission to this concert is completely free, and will last no more than 30 minutes.  Be sure to mark you calendars, and come & support our students!
