A massive special shoutout to all of our amazing student and parent volunteers who helped at Region auditions yesterday, and especially the TMHS Choir Booster Club. We truly could not have done it without you, and you helped make the auditions run smoothly and efficiently. You represented TMHS Choir very well, and we received many compliments on how amazing you all were. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Congratulations to all of our choir students who were involved in either the cast or crew of the production of Disney's Descendant's the Musical this weekend! It was such a fun show, and we are so proud of all of your hard work that went into making the show fantastic!

Trunk or Treat social is coming soon on October 30th! We are excited to invite our choir feeders to join us for a portion of this social, so if you are an officer or senior that would like to have a "trunk" please sign up below! This social will be in the TMHS Choir Room. "Trunks" will be set up in the practice and storage rooms in both, the Choir and Large Ensemble rooms. We will also have games, pizza, a costume contest, and more!

The third payment is due on Nov. 15! Please use the link below to continue to make payments. We will be using Presto to keep track of payments for Chaperones and Students traveling with us.

Please know that with online payments with CheddarUP there is a service charge. If you wish to send in a check or cash instead in order to avoid the service charge you are welcome to do so. Checks can be made out to TMCBC.

We are continuing to distribute chocolate boxes for our World's Finest Chocolate Fundraiser! However, many of your students took a box or two to begin selling and we ask that you please ensure they are selling the candy bars. They are only a dollar! When students finish selling the entire box of chocolate, they should return the envelope with their name on it and the money included to one of the choir directors. Student scholarship points earned by selling chocolate/doing flags will be available to see in Presto, and these points can be used towards things like Spring trip payments, voice lessons, solo and ensemble accompanist fees, class fees, and more!

We will begin sending emails out next week if your student still has chocolate checked out.

Several seniors are already getting accepted into their various university of choice, so seniors, as you begin your journey of college admissions, please fill out the google form below to let us know where you have been accepted!!!

Chorale will be singing The National Anthem at all home football games! Students are to wear their TMHS Choir polo and jeans with no holes. Student call time for the following games will be 6:15pm outside of the stadium by the jumbotron. Once we have finished The National Anthem, usually at 7pm, students are released to either leave the game, or walked up into the stands to attend the game. Chorale students singing The National Anthem do not need to purchase a ticket to attend the game.

Home Games

Friday, November 7th (senior recognition and 8th grade night)

In the next few weeks we will begin our Choir WiddyUp fundraiser!

Songs should be memorized and performance ready, under 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and slow songs for SENIORS only! Students should have their track ready to go on their own device. Sign ups will be posted in the choir room this week!

Section of the week is back as we are in full swing in the choir room! Every week, the directors will select a section in each class that has done extraordinary work throughout the week. Sections are competing for the honor of being "section of the year" and winning donuts at the end of the year!

Bel Canto: Altos

Dudes: Baritones

Bella Voce: 1st Sopranos

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Each week, the directors will choose one student that has stood out and represented some of our campus core values.

This week's Student of the Week is Allie McCoy for thinking outside of the box and problem solving as a volunteer at Saturday's Region Auditions!
