State Bound

This past Saturday, January 7, we had four students that auditioned at the Area Round and we had two students that were named to the All-State Choir! They will go to San Antonio in February to rehearse with the other members of their choirs and will have a concert on Saturday, February 11, in the Stars at Night Ballroom in the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center in downtown San Antonio. Congratulations to these students!

Booster Club Meeting

Our next Booster Club meeting will be on Zoom on Thursday, Jan. 12, 7 PM. We would really love to have all our parents involved in our Booster Club!

Broncho Legacy Parent Meeting

We will have our next Broncho Legacy Parent Meeting on Thursday, Jan. 19, 7 PM in the Choir Room. There should be at least one parent represented per student member. We will be going over important information concerning the Spring Show, including advertisement and sponsorship sales. If a student does not have a parent at the meeting, the student may not be able to participate in the show. If a parent is unable to attend the meeting, they must contact Mrs. Storey to schedule a meeting with her at her convenience. You can contact her at ginger.storey@ectorcountyisd.org.

UIL Concert & Sight Reading and Monday Night Rehearsals

Monday Night Rehearsals will begin on Monday, January 23, for all students in the varsity choirs. These rehearsals are to help prepare our varsity men and women for our UIL Concert & Sight Reading Evaluation in April. They are mandatory and graded. If a student must miss a rehearsal, they need to communicate with their director before the rehearsal and will be required to make it up in order to receive a grade. Absences will be excused on a case-by-case basis by the director. Ladies will rehearse 6:30-8:00 pm and Men will rehearse 7:00-8:30 pm.

These rehearsals will be each Monday night through April 11. In the case of a Monday student holiday, the rehearsal will be moved to Tuesday night. We currently know of two bad weather make up days on Monday: 2/20 and 4/10. If we end up in school on those days, we will rehearse on Monday, otherwise we will meet on Tuesday night. We will also have our Pre-UIL Concert on Monday, April 3, so that week we will rehearse on Tuesday.

Our ladies in 2nd period Bella Voce will not have rehearsals outside of class at this time. If we need to have one, we will announce it well in advance.

UIL Concert & Sight Reading will be on April 12 & 13 at the Andrews High School Performance Center.

Krispy Kreme Fundraiser

The Krispy Kreme Doughnut Fundraiser is in progress! We are taking orders by the dozens - glazed or chocolate (no mixed dozens). Each dozen is $14 and half of the proceeds go towards the choir, so get your orders in asap! Order forms and money are due on Monday, January 23. Delivery date will be the morning of Saturday, January 28. We will send out the approximate time of pickup via BandApp and SchoolStatus.

UIL Solo & Ensemble Contest

UIL Solo & Ensemble Contest is scheduled for Saturday, February 4, at the Wagner Noel PAC. Students that are participating have already received their solos and have been entered. They should be working on their solo individually and should have it memorized by January 23. Entry fees are $12 per event and were due prior to the winter break. Please take care of this as soon as possible if it hasn't already been paid.

Students should also arrange for their own ride that day. A schedule will be made available in the near future, so if a student has a special time request, they need to let Mrs. Storey know as soon as possible so she can work it into the schedule.
