Sheet Sale Fundraiser

Our annual Sheet Sale fundraiser has begun! All information concerning the sale can be found at www.grissomchoir.com/fundraising.  Order forms can be printed off on our website, as well as online instructions for those that live far away.  Physical forms will be available at our Fall Concert rehearsals, as well as when we return back to school next week.  This is a GREAT fundraiser that allows students to raise money for the Basic Support Fee, Trips, or other Grissom Choir related events.  These sheets are of the highest quality, and you will not have any trouble selling these to friends and family.


Return To School

As we return back to school physically on September 21st, please make sure that all have read the guidelines and rules that administration has sent out via email to better understand the Cohort 1 & 2 system that GHS has implemented.  Because choir is an extra-curricular activity, we have been given the opportunity to allow Huntsville Virtual Academy (HVA) students to come to campus and participate in their choir class with the traditional students AFTER SPRING BREAK.  I have outlined the guidelines for each class concerning HVA involvement below.  Should any issues arise based on the above guidelines, do not hesitate to reach out.

Chamber Choir - HVA students will come to campus alongside traditional students for class rehearsals.
Concert Choir - HVA students are advised to come to campus alongside traditional students for class rehearsals.
Men’s Choir - HVA students are encouraged to come to campus alongside traditional students for class rehearsals.
Women’s Choir - HVA students are encouraged to come to campus alongside traditional students for class rehearsals.
Vocal Lab - HVA students are encouraged to come to campus alongside traditional students for class practice.


Fall Concert

For those students that have elected to participate in the Fall Concert, I will be implementing two new rules this coming week:

1. If you are attending these rehearsals, but not submitting work on Schoology, you will not be allowed into the building for rehearsals until assignments have been submitted.
2. I will close the auditorium lobby door at 4:05.  Anyone who is late to rehearsals will not be allowed in and will have to leave campus.

All-State Choral Festival Auditions

As many have discovered, the deadline to register for this year’s All-State Choral Festival Auditions has passed.  However, I am opening up this registration for 1 more week should any student wish to audition, since I have neglected to publicize this on the weekly updates.  Students may visit
