Coppell Choir Weekly Newsletter

Dear Coppell Choir Family,

What a FANTASTIC winter concert we shared this week! We are still on cloud nine after such a fabulous performance and the endless compliments pouring in from our audience. Singers — you exceeded every expectation and then some. Your dedication, focus, and hard work truly paid off, and you blew everyone out of the water. Congratulations on an amazing concert once again!

Our B-day classes have watched the concert and completed their concert evaluations. A-day classes will watch the concert and complete their evaluations on Monday. Next week, we will begin our Solo Project, where each of you will choose a solo to learn and perform in January. We can’t wait to see your individuality and talent shine!

You can find the YouTube link to our Winter Concert in the Celebrate & Highlights section. Please do not share or post the video on social media due to copyright restrictions. Once we receive the photos from our professional photographer, we will share the gallery link with you as well.
