A massive special shoutout to all of our amazing student and wonderful parent volunteers who stepped up and 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!

Thank you as well to everyone who donated items for our concessions!

Congratulations to our Chorale guys for a magnificent performance at the Sam Houston State University Tenor/Bass Invitational on Tuesday! You represented yourselves and TMHS Choir so well! Videos and photos of the performances are below.

TMHS will host a Fall Solo Contest tomorrow, MONDAY, OCTOBER 26th after school. This contest is primarily for students in voice lessons that are not participating in the All-State process. Students participating should bring something nice to wear to perform in, think business casual or Sunday best. Please double check your track in the folder below and performance order. We will begin promptly at 3:00pm and should be done by about 4:00pm.

Trunk or Treat social is coming soon on October 29th! 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 choir room, and "trunks" will be tables set up in the large ensemble room. We will also have games, pizza, a costume contest, and more!

The annual Patriotic Game (THS v. TMHS) is Friday, October 30th and the entire TMHS and THS Choir, Band, Cheer, and Dance teams are performing during the halftime show! TMHS will be on the AWAY side this year. All eligible Choir students are required to perform and as with every performance, it is four major grades.

Tickets will sell out quickly for both sides and traffic to the game is the worst. Students involved in the halftime performance do not need to purchase tickets to the game. Students who are not participating with another group (cheer, color guard, Navy Empire, etc) will need to wear their choir polo, jeans with no holes, and closed-toe shoes. Students will sit with the choir behind the band for the entire first half of the game, and will not have access to concessions. Following the halftime performance, students may stay for the game or leave. We encourage students to being their own refillable water bottle. There will be a bus provided from TMHS to the stadium for the game, and a bus back to TMHS at the end of the game. Students may also drive to the stadium or be dropped off by our 6:30pm call time. Students who are riding the bus to the stadium will need to be at TMHS in the choir room by 5:30pm. The bus will leave for the stadium promptly at 5:45pm.

All eligible students participating in Patriotic Show will be on a field trip leaver on Friday, October 30th during the school day for our rehearsal at the stadium. Students will go to 1st period and then report to the TMHS Choir Room. We will leave during 2nd period and should return around 5th period. We will be on a pep rally schedule.

Students will wear their choir t-shirt to this rehearsal and are encouraged to dress comfortably for the weather, but be in dress code. Students who do not yet have a t-shirt will receive one this week if their class fee has been paid. A pizza lunch will be provided, but if your student has dietary restrictions they should bring a sack lunch.

The third payment for the Spring Trip is due November 15th! Please use the link below to make all payments.

Our 2027 Spring Trip will be to San Antonio and Bandera, Texas! The dates of the trip are April 22nd-25th. We will leave after school on Thursday and head to the Flying L Dude Ranch where there is great food, tennis, pickleball, basketball, putt putt, swimming, and more! On Sunday we will pack up and head to Six Flags Fiesta Texas for the day before heading back home to TMHS! Students traveling on the Spring Trip must be eligible due to missing school.

Checks and cash are accepted for payments, and any checks can be made out to TMHS Choir. Chaperone payments can be made using the same link to schoolcashonline below. Please indicate who the payment is for by putting the correct student or chaperone name as "recipient".

Please remember that the trip is not required but it is a lot of fun!

We are looking for more people to sing The National Anthem at various sporting events throughout the school year! Currently we are in Volleyball and football season. If you or a group would like to sing at one of the games, please sign up below. Any singers must sing off for Ms. White or Mr. Ragsdale the day before the game. Students singing should wear their Choir t-shirt. If you have a group that would like to sing, please list all names in the comments of the sign up.

Sign up will be updated throughout the year with the sport in season.

Students have begun selling World's Finest Chocolate boxes and are off to a great start! Boxes are $80 each and have 40 chocolate bars in each box to be sold at $2 a bar. Once your student has sold all 40 bars, please have them return the $80 to Ms. White or Mr. Ragsdale in an envelope with their name on it. For each box of chocolate sold, students will receive 30 points which will be added in Presto.

Please remember that if your student takes a box of chocolate and loses the box or eats the chocolate, they are still responsible for turning in the $80 to the choir program. Students who do not return the money to the program will go on fines and fees at the end of the year and will be unable to exempt final exams.

As an incentive to sell lots of chocolate boxes, students who sell 5 boxes will receive a $15 gift card, and 10 boxes is a $30 gift card!

This week we would like to shoutout Ariana Gonzales in Bel Canto! Ariana was a greeting in the cafeteria for the entire day, but was also quick to jump in and help a visually impaired student from another school. From helping her at concessions, to playing UNO with her, and guiding her to her spot to audition, Ariana stayed by her side to ensure that she felt comfortable at TMHS. Thank you Ariana for lending a hand and representing TMHS Choir so well!

Seniors, please complete the google form below throughout the year to let us know where you have been accepted to college!
