AMEA Performance Time

The Chamber Choir will perform at the Alabama Music Educator's Conference at the University of Alabama on Thursday, January 22, 2009 at 11:00AM in the Moody Concert Hall. This is a prestigious accomplishment for this group. Parents, make sure to take off work and attend this 30 minute concert of these fabulous young musicians.

What's Going On....

Although I sent a hard-copy home with the students, I understand that most parents never see such a document. So, click below to get a printable calendar for the year. I will let you know of any changes, if and when they occur. Also, parents, please note the dates of events that I will need assistance with chaperoning and driving.

Choir Handbooks

Parents: I have sent "hard copy" handbooks home this week. You should take the time to read over the material as many questions will be addressed, including grading procedure, attire purchases, etc. On the back page is a "Notice of Receipt" to be signed by both you and your child. Please return to me ASAP. If your child is a bit, let's say, unorganized, click on the following links to get to the handbook you need:

As always, please let me know of any concerns or questions. Email is the easiest method of communication, but you are welcome to call and leave a message and I will get back with you.

Congratulations Chamber Choir

The MJHS Chamber Choir was selected (by application, including past recordings, programs, and recommendations) to perform at the Alabama Music Educator's Association (AMEA) State Conference in January at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. This is a prestigious opportunity and will be heard by an audience of music educators from all over the state.
Way to continue to "go beyond what is expected..."

Back to Making Music

Parents & Students,
I am SO excited about this year and all the new changes! Although there will be some initial confusion and "getting used to", I am certain that the year will bring much more opportunity for learning and growing. I am working on assimilating a schedule for the year and will send it home with students on Monday (and Tuesday) of next week. We will be extremely busy this year, so make sure to mark all events on your calendars. I have already sent home our Choir Handbook, so please read, sign and return the back page. Parents, if you have any questions for me, please call me (my cell # is in the handbook) or email me. Also, if you don't already know, I am trying for National Board Certification this year, so please keep me in your prayers! (grin) I look forward to many months of fabulous music. --Mrs. Heron
