Excellent Job!

Great Job to all of the OMS Choir students! You all did such a fantastic job at the concert. We are very proud of your hard work this school year.

Our 8th Graders participated in the East Tennessee Vocal Association (ETVA) Choral Festival on April 23rd. This was an adjudicated event in Knoxville, TN. Our 8th Grade choir received a "Superior" rating, the highest rating given at this festival. Congratulations to the 8th Grade Choir and all of their fantastic hard work!!!

A couple of things for students and parents to be aware of...

1. DVD Sales- If you are interested in purchasing a DVD of the Spring Concert, your child should have brought home a form with ordering information. The DVDs are $15 a piece or $25 for a Spring and Christmas DVD (while supplies last on the Christmas DVDs). Please be sure to have your child send them in by Friday, April 30th. Please be sure to get this DVD. It can be something you can treasure for years to come.

2. Six Flags- Our 8th Graders will be going to Six Flags in Atlanta, GA on Saturday, April 8th. We will be meeting in OMS Choir Room at 7:45 am. This will be an all day trip. We will arrive back at 10:00 pm. If your child sold 5 boxes of fruit in the fruit sale, the trip is free! If your child did not sell that quota, the cost is $25 for a ticket. Be sure that your child has at least $20 for food and drinks such at the theme park. You will be receiving a form from your child about this in detail soon. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail Ms. McPherson or Mr. Tapke.

3. Chattanooga Lookouts Baseball Game- Our 8th Graders have auditioned to sing at a Chattanooga Lookout baseball game and were accepted! The choir will be singing at the Lookouts home game on May 20th. Students will need to be in the OMS choir room by 5:15 pm. We will return at 10:00 pm. There is no cost for your child for Lookouts tickets, but they will need money for food and drinks (7-10 dollars). A form will be sent home soon with more information. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail Ms. McPherson or Mr. Tapke.

Thank you for a fantastic year. One more month and it's all over! Finish strong!

~Ms. McPherson and Mr. Tapke
