Time to Get Serious About Communication

Parents of Children’s Choir of teh Internet (teh Choir) members, this website will serve as a short term forum for the choir. We will eventually move the conversation to a site dedicated to teh Choir with this site being more for recruitment. The value and importance of communicating together as an organization can not be over stated. We have an excellent creative team that share ideas regularly but your help is frequerntly needed. I would like to ask everyone to check in by commenting on this post. If you do not use your real name, please send me an email telling me your screen name, who you really are and which member you are responsible for. You are welcome to just say “Hi.” email as always is OurMusicalLife@ymail.com

T-shirt forms did not make it to rehearsal. Think about what sizes you need and come prepared to take care of the form and cost next week. Costs are $10 for the uniform t-shirt. Adults are welcome to support and advertize the choir by purchasing shirts as well. Add $2 if you wish to print something like “Choir MOM” or “Parent” on the back. These are the same shirts as the summer choir so if your singer already has one that fits and isn’t faded that is fine. Youth sizes are XS, S, M< L and XL. Adult sizes are S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X, 4X and 5X.

I know of only two kids who invited another child to join us. We will draw next time for the Cloud Cult t-shirt. We will order the desired size for the winner.

Tuition: Tuition is due for the semester. If you would like to pay over time send us an email with a payment plan. All tuition must be paid prior to May 26, 2013.

We had several new hopefuls audition today and welcomed 4 new members. We will not accept new members now until summer session (except one who stayed for rehearsal and left wothout auditioning. CG #2′s parents, sorry about the mix-up.)

The Creative Team met to discus plans for the call back audition if we get one. I am very excited about the plans. The first piece we will be performing is the Pokemon Theme Song (Gotta Catch ‘em ALL). We will need help with costuming. We need an Ash Ketchum outfit, Jesse, James, Pikachu and Meowth costumes. Pikachu needs to be flexible but Meowth can be a cardboard Meowth shaped box walking on kid legs. Please respond if you can help design and construct costumes.

Kids can start working on the Team Rocket motto. We will be auditioning for the characters soon. See this video for costumes and lines. You could also purchase the “Double Trouble (Team Rocket)” song on iTunes which is what we will be basing part of this off of:

I checked the AGT website. It seems that they have not made their decisions yet for call backs.

Rescheduled Auditions Tomorrow and Feb 28

There are two possibilities for make-up auditions. Tomorrow, Monday February 11, at 6 PM at Lutheran Church of the Resurrection,322 Ohio Street, Racine. I will be available for people who RSVP to this post. We need to take some video of the kids for our video audition on Thursday, February 14. If our numbers are not up, our chances are a lot less. If you can make it Monday (tomorrow) please contact me.

The second option is Thursday, February 28. I will meet with parents and those who would like to audition and Mr. Griffin will rehearse with those who have already been accepted or are returning. Auditions, rehearsal and meeting will start at 6 PM and end at 7:15 PM Please RSVP so we know how many to expect. If you have questions you can ask them here on the blog. Someone else may have the same question. You can also email me at OurMusicalLife@ymail.com.

Thanks and Spread the Word,
