Competitions, Competitions, Competitions – See below for all upcoming competition dates.   

 

Los Alamitos is this weekend. 

ALL CHOIRS MUST MEET THE BUS IN FULL WARM UPS.  This means choir shirt, jacket & pants.  This is part of their costume, so there should be no writing on them!

 

All students will need $ for food.  M @ W and SS should be sure to eat a good breakfast before they come to school on Saturday.  M @ W will eat both lunch and dinner at the competition.

 

HELP!  We need someone to help on Friday to load and/or drive the U-haul to the competition.

 

Friday:

Decibelles:  Leave @ 1:00 pm after lunch at school. Competition starts at 4:00 and return @ 9:00 pm.

Sound Waves:  Leave school @ 3:00 pm.  Competition starts at 7:00 pm and return @ 1:00 am.

 

Saturday:

Men @ Work & Sound Sensations: Meet at school at 10:00 am, competition starts at 1:00 pm, return @ 7:00 pm

Powerhouse meet at school at 3:00 pm, competition starts @ 6:00 pm, return......LATE!

 

Extra details....Friday, all will fit on the bus, including prop people for the trip down.  Eden Bethune and Jagene Funk will help out with driving in their own vehicles for the return trip.  Saturday, all prop and combo will be able to fit on the bus for the trip down, but not the return trip, so Teri Richardson & Nina McCarney will help out with driving on the way back.

 

Be sure and e-mail Debbie Stevens NOW at Debbiestevens@burbankusd.org if your student is not riding back with the choir (i.e. you are planning on driving them home yourself).

 

Music Showcase:

Debbie Wade and Denise Johnson chair.   Music Showcase to be held on April 12.  This is our competition that we host for other choirs.  28 choirs are competing this year.  Our choirs do not compete, but we all need to pitch in to help out.  

 

We still need a bus greeter, a pm nurse, concessions, security, foyer & door guards & ticket watchers.  We also need someone to supervise the hall where the visiting choirs will have rooms to drop their belongings off in & change if needed.  

 

We also need someone to make signs.  If you are computer savvy and can do this....we need you!    

 

Another special job:  the person who tabulates the scores wants a parent assigned to him.  

 

As you can see, we need lots of help for this event.  If you know alumni parents/students, let them know we need their help.  

 

Workshops & Auditions April 28 – May 3 -  Volunteers needed to help chaperone.  These will be held at Burroughs, Luther & Jordan.  May 3rd will be the audition date for Burroughs students and will be held at Burroughs.
