What a great choir banquet Friday night!! The students were wonderful and lots of very deserving students were honored. The Arlington women’s Club was a great place to have the banquet.
Special thanks:
Please plan to attend an All State Camp this summer. Students who will be in A Cappella choir will be expected to attend an All State Camp since they will be auditioning for District Choir in September. It is important to attend a camp, as there is not time to learn the first audition music by the first audition early in September. In addition, most of our voice faculty are offering lessons in the summer to prepare for the first audition. There will only be time for 2 – 3 lessons after school starts to prepare for District.
For the FIRST TIME EVER, a wonderful opportunity is being presented to students in North Texas: Bass Hall of Ft. Worth is offering a FREE All State Camp at Bass Hall June 18 – 21 (Monday – Thursday from 9 am – 5 pm)
In order to reserve a place at this FREE All State Camp, students MUST register with Worley BEFORE Wednesday (April 25th). Lunch will be served each day, and music packets will be provided. There will be a concert on Bass Hall Stage June 21, 5:30 pm.
