Required Combined Men's/Women's Rehearsals next week
We take 3 large choirs to contest each year.  One of the three ensembles is our A Cappella Choir.  The other two are a Combined Men's and Combined Women's Choir.  These groups are made up of men and women from all of our SMS choral ensembles.  Because these combined choirs do not rehearse together we must hold a few rehearsals outside of class.  Our first combined rehearsals will take place next week:  Men on February 21 and Women on February 22 from 3-4p in the choir room.  These rehearsals are worth 150 points each.


Heritage Singers to Perform for COR Lenten Concert Series
Heritage Singers will perform at Noon on February 22 for the first in Church of the Resurrection's series of concerts during the season of lent.  The concerts are free to the public and held in the Narthex of the West Building of the Leawood Campus.

KMEA/All-State Choir Next Week
Next week three of our SMS singers, Will Cockriel, Nico Caruso and Sarah Stevens will travel to tropical Wichita, KS to represent SM South in the Kansas All-State Choir.  Best of luck to these outstanding SMS singers!

Contest Solo Memorization Deadline
All students who plan to take solos to contest must have one of their selections memorized before spring break.  Reminders:  soloists should be working with a voice teacher or vocal coach weekly, soloists are responsible for securing the services (and paying) of an accompanist.

Trivia Night--HUGE SUCCESS
Thanks to everyone who helped make this year's Trivia Night a success.  The event was one of our largest to date!  A special thank you to Mr. Tom Heathcote for his organizational efforts!

Summer Conservatory @ UMKC

Partly because its my Alma Mater and primarily because its an awesome singing opportunity, I highly reccomend UMKC's Summer Conservatory for Singers as a "summer music camp" opportunity for our serious SMS singers.  I attend music camp every summer as a high school student and I can't tell you how valuable the expereince was (and it was TONS of fun!).

I've attached the information I received in the mail.

Peace.
