Trip Itinerary for Titan Harmony, April 11

Hello all,

I am attaching the itinerary for the Titan Harmony trip this upcoming Tuesday, April 11. We will leave during 2nd hour and be back before the end of 7th. Students are asked to wear LSW colors and t-shirts and to bring money for lunch at Crown Center.

We had a slight change of plans this week, as a new opportunity arose for us to make a professional recording at BRC studios, we will no longer be singing at Union Station because of this. Please view the itinerary attached below.

Please direct any questions you may have to me at Jacob.Lowry

Thank you,
Jacob Lowry

Choirs Received Straight 1 Ratings

Words really cannot adequately convey how unbelievably proud of you we are… Today was an amazing day of choral singing for LSW – Straight 1 Ratings from every judge for every ensemble. Words like “stellar” “breathtaking” “amazing” etc… were used to describe what you guys did today and we couldn’t agree more. So proud of you and your work and how you handled yourselves today… Now get some rest!!! Krinke, Lowry, and Chen

Final Details for Tomorrow’s MSHSAA Choir Festival

We are SO excited to hear the final product of the work our kids have been doing over the past 2 and half months! If you are not already planning on it, please consider coming to watch the performances tomorrow and support the Titan Choral Program. Below are the call times again for each ensemble, as well as the performance times. We have been over this multiple times in each class this week, but please check with your student to make sure they know what is going on. MSHSAA has strict policies about the performance times: late-comers will not be permitted into the PAC once the performance begins, so please plan accordingly. All students should arrive dressed and ready to go. All choirs meet in the Lecture Hall, and all performances occur in the PAC. Hope to see you in the audience tomorrow!

Change to TH rehearsal tonight

Hello all,

Too many irons are in the fire at the moment, and unfortunately the lack of school today has complicated a few matters in concern to upcoming events.

Tonight’s Titan Harmony rehearsal will be held in the PAC, and will only last from 6:30-7:30* (see the one exception below). We have to work really quickly and efficiently on ‘Walkin Down That Glory Road’ as well as get introduced to one more piece to round out our end-of-year repertoire.

If a couple of you could be in the building around 6:00, we will be moving 5 risers from the choir room to the PAC for the rehearsal. Help would be appreciated!

***Men of Concert Choir:
Please stay for the full duration of the rehearsal tonight. We have missed valuable time in preparation for our Kauffman performance this upcoming Sunday. We will combine with Una Voce and rehearse the Gloria. With this rehearsal, you will be seen as leaders going into our 5th-hour rehearsals later this week. Your attendance is invaluable in this matter!***

Thank you,
Mr. L
