I'm so excited to start another year with all of you in the Junior Choir. Last week, we brought everyone together for a group sing. We will have a few of these during the year. Next week, we invite your parents to join us for a Family Sing at 5:30.
Reminders for next week:
Bring your theory book. If you are new to the choir, we will have a theory book for you on Monday.
Bring a pencil.
Bring a water bottle.
Bring a folder for the music.
See you on Monday!

Hello Preparatory Choir Members and Families,
This is Chorister Corner, our recap space and upcoming news center!
My name is Mike and we are so excited to have you in our choir this season! On our team we have two wonderful teaching assistants, Ipek and Karen. Any of us can help you throughout the term to get your child prepare for our music making. Occasionally our choir will join the Junior chorus to explore the world of Orff creation with Adam! It's just the best.
For prep choir, your child will have a digital portfolio for music creations and recording their process for the year. Rehearsals start at 5 and we will be welcoming kids 5-10 minutes before in the STUDIO. Bathroom breaks should happen before rehearsal but if it's an emergency, your child will be escorted by one of our staff. As we get closer to our concerts, I will share more details about performance notes and attire here.
FAMILY SINGS ARE HAPPENING! We invite families to come to the family sings and join your children as we create community within our different choral families. Next week will be our first one starting at 5:05!
If you have any questions, comments and/or concerns, you are able to email me at mike@vivayouthsingers.com or the office at hello@vivayouthsingers.com
So excited to meet you all!
Mike Colla
