Concert Choir Info for Tomorrow

Dear Concert Chorale and Titan Harmony families,

I just wanted to make sure all of you have seen the information regarding Sunday’s performance at Visitation.  In case you have not, I have attached it to this e-mail.

I would encourage all of you to attend and support your student.  Visitation is one of the finest acoustic venues for choral singing in Kansas City, and 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 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 me if you have any questions.  See you Sunday!

Titan Pride Update for Nov. 6th

Well…..the weather prevented us from performing last night, but fortunately, the team once again destroyed its competition, giving us another opportunity to showcase Aerodynamics.

THIS SATURDAY, we will have a home game starting at 1:30pm (earlier than I stated in my last email to you).
Students will need to report to get dressed at 12:15pm.
Weather permitting, we will perform our halftime show as was planned last evening.
This will be the last HOME game of the season, as the semifinal game will either be at Staley HS or Fort Osage HS. Therefore, please come cheer on the Titan Pride in their final home performance of the season.

Another note about the Band Banquet
The banquet, as previously stated, will be on Friday, November 30th.
The dinner line will start serving at 5:30pm with the “program” beginning shortly after 6pm.

Have a great day!

Mr. Thurmond
