Choir Students & Parents:
I hope you're enjoying your snow day!
Many of you are working on finalizing your schedule and finishing enrollment for next year. I had a chance to talk with the counseling center--here are a few things to take note of when enrolling for choir:
-Choose any choir class you'd like when completing your enrollment. We'll move you to the correct class after auditions.
-If you plan to dual enroll (Chorale/Madrigals or Chorale/Armonizzare) choose one choir and in the "notes" at the end of the online enrollment indicate, "if I make xxxx I'd like to enroll in 2 choir classes, Chorale and xxx)
-The counseling center also asked that I remind you: DO NOT click FINISH if you are working on your online enrollment at home. Wait to click FINISH until you meet with the counselors.
-Choir auditions will begin this week. Audition materials have been posted on the auditions page of www.oechoirs.org
Stay warm!

CONGRATS MINI-MADS
Students in our beginning ensembles had the opportunity to audition for Mini Mads, a mostly 9-10th version of our Madrigal Singers. This extra curricular ensemble will rehearse before/after school and participate in Solo-Ensemble Festival. To see the 2012-13 Mini Mads Roster CLICK HERE.

RETURN UNSOLD ENTERTAINMENT BOOKS
The Entertainment Book Sale has officially ended. If you still have an Entertainment Book it must be returned. Congrats to Brian Percival in Hawk Men--he sold 33 books!
2013-2014 CHOIR ENROLLMENT/AUDITIONS
Next week we will begin auditioning for 13.14 OE Choirs. Audition materials will be available outside of the choir room and at www.oechoirs.org. The audition dates listed on the choir calendar may be used if students do not have an opportunity to audition in class. All auditions must be complete by Wednesday, March 13. Audition results will be posted on Friday, March 15.
Important clarification:
Next year we will begin asking those students who are in Armonizzare and Madrigal Singers to dual enroll in Chorale, similar to the jazz band students being asked to take Marching/Symphonic Band. Please note that this change will be made slowly over several years. Exceptions will be made for students who are unable to dual enroll this year--this is not a reason to refrain from auditioning.
