Concert Dress

Students are wearing standard HTMS chorus performance dress uniform.  However, because our program is based on songs of different cultures, students are also encouraged to wear items that are reflective of their ancestry, whether it is full dress or accessories to add to the chorus uniform ensemble.  Eighth and seventh grade boys are to wear solid black short-sleeved shirts with black pants rather than the white HTMS chorus shirt (but can still substitute something cultural).

Lanterns and Flowers

We will be making paper lanterns and flowers (to be used in the concert) on Friday, April 21, Monday, April 24, and Tuesday, April 23, from 4:30-5:45.  Any students that are available any of these times are welcomed to stay and help!  We also welcome any spare empty tissue and paper towel rolls you are about to throw away…save them for us to use!!

The 8th grade chorus will perform at this year’s Night of the Arts on Wednesday, April 26.  The performance will be at 7:00 p.m. in the chorus room.  Please  join us for a night of great music and art!

8th grade chorus members should be in the chorus room at 6:45 in chorus uniform dress.

We still are in need of several 7th and 8th grade chaperones for the March 7 performance trip.  Please email Ms. Logue if you are able to help out!

Fundraiser  Turn-In is on Monday, October 17 and Tuesday, October 18.  Students are to bring completed order forms and money to the chorus room between 8:45 and 9:15 (during homeroom).  Packets should NOT be turned in during class.

An adult should complete the order form, including listing the QUANTITY of items, and TOTAL balance of money for the order.  Please proof the order, and check to make sure the order form matches the amount of money being turned in! Money should be sent in a school money envelope – one check made payable to HTMS. Cash is also accepted, but should be the correct amount (change is not given).

Incorrect order forms slow down the order process – please double check that your order and money are correct before turning in!

Thank you for supporting our fundraiser – every penny raised profits EVERY child in chorus!
