Good Afternoon Grissom Choir,

Thank you everyone for your patience as I send out this very important weekly update.  Please make sure that you pay close attention to everything listed below.  Should I not answer your questions, do not hesitate to email me back.

​Canvas Assignments:

I have posted Assignments for each class on Canvas to voluntarily do these next few weeks. THESE ASSIGNMENTS ARE OPTIONAL, AND NOT REQUIRED.  They are solely there for your use in order to stay fresh concerning notes, rhythms, pitches, and solfege.  If a student does not do these assignments, they will not be penalized.  However, I highly suggest students looking at these in order to keep things fresh leading into Concert & Chamber Choir Auditions.  I have also posted practice tracks and will post PDF’s of Spring Concert music.  Please keep this music fresh!!


Chamber Choir Auditions:

I have posted all materials on Canvas for those wishing to audition for Chamber Choir.  Take advantage of these next 3 weeks!


Haydn Hits: A Masterwork Concert:

Due to the closure of schools until April 6th, and the ban of all extracurricular events until the end of April, including concerts, our Haydn Hit’s Concert originally scheduled for March 24th is postponed indefinitely.  Once we return from Spring Break and the ban on all extracurricular events is lifted, I will discuss with the other Fine Art Directors and Mr. Daniels at Buckhorn High School the possibility of rescheduling this concert.


Pizza & Pop:

Due to the closure of schools until April 6th, and the ban of all extracurricular events until the end of April, including concerts, our Pizza & Pop event originally scheduled for March 26th is postponed indefinitely.  Once we return from Spring Break and the ban on all extracurricular events is lifted, I will discuss with the other Fine Art Directors possible dates to reschedule this concert.  There may be a possibility that this event will be cancelled completely.


State Choral Performance Assessment:

Due to the closure of schools until April 6th, and the ban of all extracurricular events until the end of April, including concerts, State Choral Performance Assessment originally scheduled for April 13th & 14th is cancelled completely.


Spring Concert:

Due to the closure of schools until April 6th, and the ban of all extracurricular events until the end of April, including concerts, our Spring Concert Concert originally scheduled for April 30th is postponed indefinitely.  Once we return from Spring Break and the ban on all extracurricular events is lifted, I will discuss with the other Fine Art Directors possible dates to reschedule this concert.


Trip Updates:

European Performance Tour - 7th installment of $177 due ASAP.  Please make out checks to GCPA and send to our Treasurer’s house at 2502 Wynterhall Rd. SE Huntsville, AL 35803.

Nashville Heritage Festival Trip - Due to the ban of all extracurricular events until the end of April, including field trips, our Nashville Heritage Festival Trip originally scheduled for April 17-19th is postponed indefinitely, with the possibility of it being cancelled.  After speaking with the travel company, there are hopes of rescheduling the festival to a later date in May, allowing all students and chaperones to travel.  If this does not happen, the trip will be rescheduled for the Fall of 2020 or Spring of 2021.  Seniors, you will have the opportunity to try and find an upcoming freshman to take your spot, so that you can receive all monies back.  If you ARE able to find an upcoming freshman to take your spot, you will not be able to receive monies back until the Fall/Spring.  If you are NOT, you will be able to receive 50% of the total trip cost back to you.  All travelers, if we are not able to reschedule, will receive 50% of the total cost back, per company policy.  I will be doing all that I can to make sure that we can reschedule, so that no money is lost!
