Announcements small medium large Welcome back from Spring Break, students and parents! During fourth quarter, our 5th and 6th grade students will be exploring and expanding their note-reading, rhythm performance, and recorder skills. Be sure to find your recorder and start having fun! A new group will be starting Music Appreciation I, a class which will help them to continue advancing toward meeting their musicianship and theoretical objectives. An exciting new addition to this class is a keyboard lab, which will enable our students to take their performance and song-writing capabilities to the next level. Another new class is Discovery Chorus, a bridge between general music and audition vocal ensembles. This semester-long class is open to all 7th and 8th grade students as an elective. These students will be getting ready to perform their repertoire at the Spring Concert assemblies. Our honors choir, Challenger Chorus, will be polishing their Spring repertoire and working on advanced vocal techniques. Our choristers will be preparing for festivals as well as our Spring Concert, which will be held Thursday, May 10 at 6:30 pm in the MPR. In order for our students to be successful, they should check their homework and activity pages every week for updates. Changes can be made at any time, so it's always a good idea to check for any additional assignments, especially if you've recently been absent from school or are planning to be. Remember: Success is where opportunity meets preparedness! :) Mrs. Gordon 623.546.7281 cgordon@pecschools.org DISCOVERY CHORUS CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT Apr. 18, 2012 Dear Parent/Guardian and Choristers, As we finish our term together, our Discovery Chorus members are heading towards their culminating event: performing as an ensemble in the Spring Concert and Assemblies! The assemblies will take place the morning of Thursday, May 10 in PEC's MPR. Times for the two performances (K-4 and 5- 8) will be 8:15 and 9:45 am, respectively. The evening Concert will begin at 6:30 pm in the MPR with sign-in and warm-up in Music Room E5 at 6:00 pm sharp. These performances will be graded as a project worth 30 points. If your student will not be attending, please provide notification by Friday, Apr. 27, as they will be given an alternate assignment to be completed in lieu of the performances. If you decide to e-mail the note, you may want to call my extension (623.546.7281) to confirm its arrival, as our spam filters at times route outside e-mails to the junk mail file. Lastly, since we will be performing with the rest of PEC's extracurricular music ensembles, we need to look professional on stage. To that end, we ask that your student dress in a white top and black bottoms similar to our other ensembles. Tops may include white dress shirts, blouses or uniform polos. Students may wear black dress pants or slacks (ladies may wear skirts), but not any form of denim, leggings or cargo pants. All clothing choices must be school-appropriate as set forth in the 2011-2012 Student Handbook and will be consequenced accordingly. Students may change back into uniforms after the assemblies if they wish. As always, thank you for your support of the Arts at PEC! Sincerely, Charlotte Gordon 623.546.7281 Cgordon@pecschools.org Please complete and return to Mrs. Gordon by Friday, Apr. 27: Student name: ___________________________________________________ My student (will/will not) be able to attend the Spring Concert morning assemblies Thursday, May 10.
