This Week in Choir: June 9 - 13
CHOIR NEWS
TUESDAY, JUNE 10th:
6:00-8:00 PM - Choral Awards Picnic, LHS Courtyard. Enjoy a potluck dinner followed by our Choral Awards Ceremony in the LHS Cafeteria. Dr. Lambert presents a number of traditional recognitions, including Varsity Letters and Bars to students who have met the requirements for these honors. It's a fun way for choral students (and their parents) to wrap up the year! The following food requests for the picnic are based on students' last names:
A-E: Chips of some kind
F-K: Desserts
L-Z: Salads/vegetables
Hotdogs, hamburgers, and drinks will be provided.
8:00-8:45 PM - 2008-09 Women's Chamber Choir and Chamber Choir Parents Meeting, LHS Choir Room. Immediately following the Choral Awards Picnic, there will be a short meeting of next year's Chamber Choir members and their parents. Dr. Lambert will talk about the Choir's general performance schedule (home basketball games, the annual Madrigal Feaste, and some extra performances throughout the year); we will discuss Chamber sweatshirts and yard signs and explain the role of "Chamber Parents"; we will update contact information for next year's Choir Directory; and we will be hearing from Cristi Goldberg, our extraordinary costumer, about costume needs for next year's Madrigal Feaste. We will also be hearing from our returning Chamber members about the Chamber Choir experience. The meeting will be a great time to ask questions, as well as a great opportunity for Chamber families to meet one another before the beginning of next year.

CHORAL GUILD UNIFORM RESALE REMINDER - The Uniform Resale returns! Each year, the Choral Guild solicits donations of outgrown or no-longer-needed choral gowns and tuxedos for a fundraising resale. All resale outfits have a set cost, typically $25, and the proceeds of the sale benefit the Guild. The resale takes place in the fall before orders for new outfits must be submitted, giving students a chance to take advantage of purchasing a used outfit instead of a new one. If interested in donating your uniform, dry-cleaned choral dresses and tuxedos can be dropped off in the Choir Room any time before the last day of school. All outfits collected will be held over the summer for resale in the fall. (Note, non-graduating Madrigals and Women's Chamber Choir members will need their uniforms for their performance at the LHS graduation ceremony on June 12th.)
2008-09 CHORAL GUILD BOARD - Thank you to all who have come forward to volunteer as coordinators next year! We are still in need of another Concert Choir parent, as well as someone to coordinate decorating the stage for concerts (this could be shared by a few parents too), and while Erik Hoftun has stepped forward to as a photographer for our concerts (thanks, Erik!), Erik indicated it would be helpful for another parent to share the responsibility with him in case of scheduling conflicts. Please click here to view the current list of volunteers; again, descriptions of the remaining open spots are on the second page of the attachment. If you are interested in helping out next year, please contact Stacy Fischer at fsherwoman@gmail.com.
