Due West Elementary Chorus PageSpring Concert
The chorus will perform the spring concert on Wednesday, March 20 at 7 PM at Sterling Estates. In addition to chorus families, we will have residents of this senior care and retirement facility in our audience. Transportation to and from the event is not provided, but I do still have to request that you complete the standard permission form to participate in this off-site activity. The chorus will be accompanied by Theresa Bennett on piano for 2 songs. She was unable to play with us at ECF, but she has volunteered to play on the 20th. Since we have not played the songs with her, we will begin our warm ups 30 minutes prior to the performance, so that we have time to practice with her. The students will still have our regularly scheduled chorus rehearsal from 2:30 - 3:15 at school on the day of the performance. Arrival Window: 6:15 - 6:30 -See the maps below -Parking and entrance for the chorus will be on the side of the building near the pool and exercise facilities, not at the main entrance. Warm up: 6:30 Performance: 7:00 Maps to Sterling Estates can be found on the chorus web page. See you on March 20th! |

Chorus Funds
Funds for purchasing new music, paying accompanists, purchasing t-shirts, and registering for LGPE come entirely from chorus donations. To cover these costs, a $35 donation is requested from each chorus member. Checks may be written to Due West Elementary School. Payments must be in envelopes labeled with the student's name, payment amount and "Chorus" and placed into any of the school's "black boxes" by the student or parent. Teachers are not allowed to handle funds.

Dismissal
Students will need to be picked up via carline at the front of the school at 3:15. Parents can also park off site and walk up to get their children at 3:15. That is probably the fastest option, as the car line for Wednesday clubs can get long. Students who have not been picked up by 3:30 will go to ASP. Parents will be responsible for paying ASP anytime their child uses this service.
