TMHS Wildcat Choir

Our Fall Concert is tomorrow, Monday, Oct. 6! We hope to see you at our first formal concert of the year at 7:00pm in the TMHS Auditorium, which is free and open to all community members! Student call time is 5:45pm dressed in their formal concert attire and seated in the auditorium. Bella Voce are to wear their madrigal style dress. Students can take their uniform home on Monday afternoon if they have not already, and can arrive to TMHS dressed in their formal attire. Uniforms should go home with the student after the concert and will be returned to TMHS Choir at the end of the year.

We will have a breakfast social on Monday morning before school. Please bring something to share if you are able, and Mr. Ragsdale will be making pancakes! This social is only for current TMHS Choir students.

The second payment is due on Oct. 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! We have about 80 boxes left of 375!!! 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!

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 are 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.

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 Ferrah Addis for helping build community with our vertical teammates at the Willow Wood JH Choir Concert, as well as for her work ethic!
