Rehearsal CDs:
Bring a CD-R disc, and I will make a copy of our rehearsal CD for you so
you can practice your concert music at home! Please label the CD with
your first and last name.
You are also welcome to take your sight singing book home any time
you wish so you can practice your skills; however, you MUST bring the
book back the very next day, since we use it every day in class!
Choir folders may NOT go home; they must stay in the music cabinet.
Check out our "Lyrics" page to get the words to all of our songs!
