SMS TO HOST NORTHEAST KMEA CHORAL FESTIVAL
SM South hosts the Northeast Kansas Music Educators Association All-District Choral Festival each year. This year's festival is Saturday, December 3. This is one of the largest events SMS hosts all year. During the course of the day close to 2,000 people will be in the building for this event--WE NEED YOUR HELP. We need parents and students to organize and sell concessions, provide lunch for over 500 students and give general directional information to singers and parents visiting our school. If you would like to help, please contact Dr. Barb Trites, Booster President at president@smschoir.com.
DATE CHANGE: MASTERWORKS SOLO AUDITIONS/MUSICAL AUDITIONS
Auditions for this year's musical "THE DROWSEY CHAPERONE" have been moved to November 21 after-school. Due to this change Masterworks Solo Auditions will be Monday, November 28, after we return from Thanksgiving Break. Information concerning musical auditions is available on the call board in the music hall way by the auditorium. Masterworks solo auditions are open to any SMS Choir senior who has a classical solo prepared for the audition.
HERITAGE SINGERS TO PERFORM WITH KENNY ROGERS!
While many students may not recognize the name Kenny Rogers he is an extremely well known country music/adult contemporary artist. Our very own Heritage Singers has been invited to perform with Rogers for his Holiday Concert in Kansas City on December 4th. If you would like to purchase tickets to see Kenny, but more importantly Heritage Singers CLICK HERE for more information.
A SWEET DEAL! 3 WOMEN AND AN OVEN COUPONS: TRIP/INDIVIDUAL STUDENT ACCOUNT FUNDRAISER
November 21 & 22 will mark the kick-off of our SWEET DEAL FUNDRAISER. SMS Choir students will sell $10 Coupons to 3 Women and an Over (voted Kansas City's BEST bakery--and in my opinion they have the best Carrot Cake on the face of the earth). While the fundraiser is targeted to A Cappella Choir students who would like to raise money for their trip to St. Louis, any student may participate. Non-A Cappella Choir singers who participate will be raising money for their individual choir student account. This account can come in handy as we look ahead to trips for next year or the purchase of required choir-related items (dresses, tuxes, character shoes etc.). Look for details via email and passed out in class.
