Chorus Dates for 2012 / 2013

 

Choral concerts are the equivalent to a final exam.  Attendance is EXTREMELY important.  Our team suffers without the valuable contributions of each singer to our group sound.  If circumstances arise that cause the student to miss a concert, the following make-up assignment is required.

Real Men Can Sing!

Thursday, September 29th, Palmer hosted the Middle Men Choral Workshop.  Palmer boys who are involved in chorus were joined by the men from Kell Chorus and North Cobb Chorus to work with guest clinician Doyle Register.  The men learned how the voice changes and how to sing successfully through that change.  After an hour of singing, the guys devoured 30 large pizzas and had a great time together.  Our  middle school guys have a lot to look forward to in high school chorus!

 

KISS Candle Fundraiser

 
The chorus students were presented with the opportunity to sell KISS Candles as a fundraising project today.  I enjoy several of these candles throughout my home and am impressed by the high quality of this product.  KISS Candle Co. gives Palmer's Chorus 50% of the sales, which is higher than any other company I have found.  The best part is that this is a local company.  In this tough economy, I am proud that we are supporting local jobs in the Atlanta area.  I appreciate your support of this fundraiser!

• Please ask your customers to make the checks payable to the student's guardian.  We then ask that each family submit ONE check made payable to Palmer Middle School for the entire amount of the order.  This will enable our bookkeeper to process the checks more quickly.
• Order forms and money are due Friday, October 14th.

Prizes are as follows:

10 items - win the Kiss Bag
20 items - win the Gummy Bears and the Kiss Bag.
30 items - win a $25 gift card and Gummy Bears and the Kiss Bag.
60 items - win a $100 gift card and a $25 gift card and Gummy Bears and the Kiss Bag.
100 items - win the Big Choice(choose between a Wii Game System, PS3 Game System, XBOX 360 Game System or an iPad 2) and a $100 gift card and a $25 gift card and Gummy Bears and the Kiss Bag.

Real Men Can Sing!

Over 40 of Palmer's finest boys attended the Middle Men Workshop on September 1st.  Mr. Jay Champion was our special guest clinician.  He discussed how the voice changes as boys mature and the best ways to sing through that change.  It was exciting to hear all Palmer's boys singing at the same time.  We're lucky to have so much talent in our young men!
