2013-2014 School Year, Welcome Back!

Dear OMS Choir Parents--

We are so excited about the beginning of this school year.  With hard work, a great attitude, and a passion for music; awesome things can be accomplished.  As the beginning of this school year gets underway, we would like to inform you of a couple of items of interest.  Every couple of weeks, we will update you on important information.  More urgent reminders may come your way through telephone messages as well.

1.  Calendars are being sent home today (August 26th) with your child.  If you don't receive one today,  please ask your child to send one home.  There is a section on the OMS website for choir dates in the "Choir" section.  We have not added those dates in yet, but we plan on having them entered by the end of the week.

2.  In regard to the calendars, please be sure to have no doctor appointments on our concert rehearsal days and concerts in the evening at the Conn Center.  It is imperative that your child be in attendance at schools those days.  Thank you for your help in this!

 Rehearsal Days during school day- December 9th and April 16th
 Concert Days in the evening-  December10th and April 28th

3.  Our first event on the choir calendar is our 6th grade choir singing at the PTO meeting on September 24th. 6th graders need to be in the choir room by 6:00.  Directly after the PTO meeting, we will be having our first choir boosters meeting.  The meeting will start at 7:15.  The meetings typically are short, but very important.  We look forward to seeing you there!

4.  Our Fruit Sale will begin in early November.  More information to come!  :)

Again, thank your for the support you give for your child and the Choir Department!
