Welcome to the Ocoee Middle School Choir Department Blog Page!
We are so excited about the 2010-2011 school year and all the exciting challenges, concerts, and various trips that will be taken by the choirs this year! There are a few announcements that we would like to make and give you an outline of the choir calendar for the rest of the year.
1. If your child has brought in money for the choir polo yet, please be sure that they do. We are waiting for more children to bring money in so that we can pay for the polos. The cost is $15.
2. Choir Booster memebership has opened up for this year. The cost of memebership is $5. This will give parents the right to vote at any choir booster meeting this school year and give a family household free concert admittance. The price of tickets at our school concerts are $3 for adults and $2 for children. Please have you child bring their booster form and money in by Friday, October 15th.
3. The fruit sale has begun! Information is being sent home TODAY (October 4th) with your child about the fruit sale. We will be selling navel oranges, juice oranges, tangelos, and grapefruit. The boxes are approximately 2.5 bushels. The cost is $15. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail us.
