Spring Vocal Recital TIME assigned/Schedule

Spring Recital is THIS THURSDAY, April 25th at the Box Elder Middle School Auditorium!  We are excited to perform for all of you and hope you'll enjoy this wonderful evening of carefully selected music!

ALSO:  Please have TaVaci Teens Students AND Trio's wear their shirts to school on Thursday and to the rehearsal after school. 

The schedule for that day is as follows:

3:00 pm:  Both TaVAci Teen classes AND TRIO's will meet me at the auditorium at 3:00 pm.  We will rehearse and stage the recital until 4:15 pm.  At that time they will be released and need to be back in their assigned seat by 5:45 pm.  BEST DRESS.
4:30 - 5:30:  I have set this time aside for all private student solo's and ensembles.  If you would like to do a run-through, please come ready to sing.  This is not mandatory but IS for your own benefit.

In order to attempt to accommodate students and their families, I have broken the recital into two different time slots.  Please find your students name and/or class and plan accordingly.  We will start the 6:00 pm recital on time (Don't be late!) and we will start the 7:00 pm as close to 7:00 as possible!

Solo's for Spring Recital!

The following people have been assigned solos for our Spring Recital, on Thursday, April 25th at the Box Elder Middle School beginning at 6:00 pm.

"You Will Be Found":
Solo #1: Adelaide Nelson
Solo #2: Payton Hubbard
Solo #3: Alissa Allen
Solo #4: Abby Findlay
Solo #5: Carlee Hancock

"Everytime I Feel the Spirit":
Solo #1 (vs.1): Abby Madsen
Solo #3 (vs.3): Lydia Donoldson

Choosing soloists is always a difficult task....  MANY of the girls could have sung them and done them very well!  These were chosen based on ability, style of song and appropriateness of voice for that particular genre.  Thank you for being so supportive of your fellow classmates and cheering them on! It'll be someone else's turn next time!

If deemed necessary, I will rehearse with these girls outside of class.  I will contact them individually to schedule if that is the case.

(REMINDER:  No classes next week!  Enjoy Spring Break!)
