**Congrats to all of the new members. I heard some fantastic auditions. We are limited on guys, which made the pick for the girls really difficult. Tough competition, that. For all members, make sure you register for TWO blocks of choir for next year. There are a lot of things on the agenda, so we must get this young group in shape quickly!!! Have a great summer!

There were more students to audition this year (especially Sop's) than in years past, over 2000 across the state! So, there was very stiff competition! A big kudos to all that went through the audition process, as it is a fantastic learning experience.

Cheesecake/Cookie Dough Delivery

Parents, The cheesecake and cookie dough items will be delivered on THURSDAY, OCT 21st. Please make plans to pick up your child's orders and deliver promptly. Remember, these items are frozen so they don't need to sit for hours in the choir room! Monies will be collected as you deliver the items.

Cheesecake/Cookie Dough Fundraiser

Order forms for the cheesecake/cookie dough/loaf cakes are due THIS THURSDAY (9-23-10) to Mrs. Heron. Remember, the money is not due now, as it will be collected when the merchandise is delivered (that will be mid-October). Every student is encouraged to sell their "fair share" of ten items. Many will go above and beyond the call of duty, but everyone please try to sell at least ten!
