Redemptorist Concert on SUNDAY

Dear Choir Families:

This e-mail contains important information regarding Sunday’s performance at Redemptorist Church. An itinerary was passed out to students in Concert Choir today, Titan Harmony students in Freshman Women and Women’s Choir will receive it tomorrow. I have attached it to this e-mail.

I would encourage all of you to attend and support your student. Redemptorist Church is one of the finest acoustic venues for choral singing in Kansas City. We have specifically selected music to be sung in this space. The concert heavily features the Concert Chorale. The kids are singing very well, and it is going to be a stunning concert. This space holds 1200, so bring friends and family!

The students need to arrive to LSW dressed in their performance attire at 12:20 to load the buses. The sanctuary will open at 2:30 for seating, with the concert starting at 3:00. There is not a large lobby for gathering prior to 2:30, also restrooms are limited at the church. There is ample parking next door and behind the church. Please see attached sheet for more details.

This is a free event. We will collect a small donation at the conclusion of the concert, to offset the cost to provide this opportunity to our students.

Please e-mail if you have any questions. See you Sunday!

Amy Krinke and Jacob Lowry

LSW has 6 members of the All-State Choir. The original pool of applicants was 550 + and there are only 32 students selected from the entire KC Metro Area. This is a huge honor and very competitive process for these students.

Congratulations!

Fall Concert Tomorrow

Good Afternoon!

I am in need of just a few volunteers who can help decorate the stage for tomorrow evening’s choir concert.

This shouldn’t take very long, and the school has the decorations, but I’ve injured both my spine and my foot, and I am not getting around very well!

The stage is available to use between 1:30 pm – 5:00 pm, and I am leaning more toward the 1:30 start time if I can gather enough helpers.

If you can help please just reply with your name, cell number, and availability.

Thank you!

Titan Harmony – First rehearsal

First off, congratulations! Titan Harmony auditions were very tough this year and we heard a lot of great talent. I look forward to getting to work as soon as possible with all of your students, which brings me to the purpose of this email: Our first meeting is SATURDAY, OCT. 11th (Retreat) in the choir room @ 8:00 AM.

Due to a busy month, we will not be able to meet again until Oct. 30th. If your student is unable to attend the retreat due to Cross Country, please inform me and I will meet with them at a later time to hand out music. There will be a parent meeting after the retreat beginning at 11:00.

If your student hasn’t already, ask them to pick up and bring home a contract to sign and return. I look forward to seeing you all at the retreat! Again, please email Mr. Lowry with any questions. Thank you, Jacob Lowry
