THE HS VESPERS CHORAL CONCERT is fast approaching. Sunday, December 14, 2008 at 7:00 pm – St. Malachy’s Catholic Church, Geneseo. We are pleased to welcome instrumentalists from the HS Honors Band and Miss Edwards playing the organ as we jointly perform John Rutter’s “Gloria”. Also, Bell Choir members from Concordia Lutheran Church will accompany us on our processional song. Of course, the Freshman Chorale will perform the traditional “O Who’s That Yonder” and all HS Choir Alumi are again invited to sing Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus”. Take a break from the holiday rush and submerse yourself in the sounds of singing. Admission is free and there’s a great seat for everyone. Hope you can join us!
Fall Sale
Dear choir parents,
This week, we kicked off our annual fall fundraiser. The students have a new option this year to do some selling online. During our last presentation we discovered that our group ID number was not printed on the Century Resources order form. The students will need this to access the on-line ordering. Our Group ID number is 27274.
The fundraiser is a crucial part of the band and choir’s success as it brings in a large percentage of the money that is earned for accompanists payment, lessons, equipment, and other important materials that allow the students to be successful at music in Geneseo.
Thank You
