FNL – Friday Night Live for ALL choir members
Dear Choir Families:
“Friday Night Live” is approaching quickly and is Friday, May 6th at 7:00 p.m. If you are new to the choral program, “Friday Night Live” is the primary fundraiser for the Choral Department, and the funds raised at this event sustain the choral department for the next school year.
FNL is a student-led variety show that features all of the LSW choirs as well as soloists and small groups. It is a high energy and entertaining night, and the kids have an incredible show this year! We have gone over all of this information with classes, so the kids should be able to provide information as well.
FNL T-Shirts: T-Shirts will be on sale TOMORROW, May 4th and Thursday, May 5th. The T-shirts are adult sizes Small through XXL. They are $13.00 per shirt and sizes are limited (first come first served). Shirts may be picked up Friday morning. Please make checks payable to LSW.
Tickets: Anyone attending FNL must have a ticket. There are two types of tickets available: General Admission Tickets and VIP Tickets. All tickets are currently selling at lunch and out of the choir office.
General Admission Tickets are $7.00 in advance, $8.00 at the door. Seats are first come, first served and seating may be limited unless you arrive early to stand in line. The doors to the PAC will open at 6:15 p.m.
VIP Tickets are $20.00 and are assigned seats in the first several rows of the Center Section of the PAC. Advantages to a VIP Ticket are 1) having the best-available reserved seat 2) enjoying a front and center view 3) no waiting in line or needing to arrive early
Costumes: All classes have planned their costumes. Please ask your student what their costume requirements are and they will be able to tell you.
** Performance at FNL is a required part of each student’s semester grade. Students must perform with their choir in order to earn their concert points. Since this is a fundraising event, students who want to watch the show from the PAC must purchase a ticket for themselves. Watching the show from the PAC is not required for a grade.
Thank you for supporting FNL! We look forward to seeing you next weekend for a great show!

Parade of Choirs – Tuesday April 26 for ALL Choir Members (Required Performance)
We are looking forward to seeing you all at Parade of Choirs Tuesday in the Fieldhouse at LSW. The call time for all choirs is 6:15 p.m. Titan Harmony call is 5:45 p.m. The concert will begin at 7:00 p.m. and will last for about an hour and a half. All students wear their normal performance attire.
Also, we are in desperate need for 4-6 parent volunteers to assist with uniform collection immediately following the program. It’s very simple and will only take about half an hour. If you are available to help out, please contact Mrs. Pabst.
Senior Parents, each senior will be recognized on Tuesday night to thank them for their service in the choral dept. Also, for the FNL slideshow: 1 baby picture and 1 senior picture will featured in the slideshow at the end of FNL. Please send these pictures to Marli Griffith. We also need your students future plans. Example: Marli Griffith, Missouri State University, Music Education. Please DO NOT send these photos to me:) These are due next Wednesday, April 27th.
Thank you!
