Coppell Choir Weekly Newsletter
September 21st - 27th
Dear Coppell Choir Family,
We are thrilled to share some exciting updates with you this week!
🎶 TMEA All-State District Auditions
The TMEA All-State District Auditions were held this past Saturday at L.D. Bell High School. We are incredibly proud of every Coppell High School Choir singer who represented our program with excellence, courage, and musicianship.
Congratulations to all of our students who auditioned, and a special round of applause for those advancing to the Region auditions! Please see the full list of advancing students below and join us in celebrating their achievement.
👶 Welcome Ms. Lam & Baby Conkovich Update
As Mrs. Conkovich begins her maternity leave, we are excited to welcome Ms. Jamie Lam to the Coppell Choir team! Ms. Lam is currently a music teacher at Wilson Elementary and has graciously agreed to split her time between Wilson and CHS/CHS9 to support our choir program. Fun fact: Ms. Lam student-taught with us four years ago, so this truly feels like a homecoming!
We’re happy to report that Mrs. Conkovich and baby Conkovich are doing great—we’ll be sharing photos and updates soon!
👗 Uniform Updates
All altered uniforms have been returned from our amazing seamstress and are ready for pickup!
If you have not been fitted for your uniform yet, please EMAIL Ms. Coogle & Mr. Coronado ASAP to get scheduled.
📅 Save the Date: Fall Concert – October 7th
Our Fall Concert is right around the corner! Please see the flyers below for all the details. We can’t wait to showcase the incredible work our students have been doing this season.
🎤 9/10 Honor Choir Auditions – Sign-Up Due October 10th!
Interested in auditioning for the 9/10 Honor Choir?
Students must complete the Google Form linked under “Upcoming Events” by October 10th to register. (Reminder: Singers should complete this themselves to avoid duplicate submissions.)
Thank you for your continued support, enthusiasm, and partnership. We are so grateful to be part of this incredible choir family!
Warmly,
Your Coppell Choir Directors
