Hello Parents! I wanted to let you know about an exciting opportunity for your students that love to sing! There is an amazing choral group for students in 1st-11th grades called the Allegro Children's Choir. I had the privilege of hearing this group in 2010 and took some classes alongside one of their directors. They are amazing, and will provide world-class training for your student. I recently received a poster and some postcards from them about auditions for the upcoming year. There are 5 performing ensembles available for different age groups, and they rehearse in Bonner Springs one night per week from August through April.
Auditions are this week (sorry for the late notice!). If you'd like more information, check out their website at at www.allegrokc.org.
Have a great day,
Mr. Wray

Quavermusic Reminders
Hello Parents! Just a reminder that your child can log on to Quavermusic.com at home to enjoy the many features that the site offers. Each of the grade levels has participated in some way in Quavermusic, whether by watching a DVD episode, using the interactive whiteboard activities, or going to the flex lab to complete assignments and other music activities.
If you have never logged in to Quavermusic, I encourage you to give it a try! Your child should have an account created, and their quaver name is identical to their computer login name in most cases. When you get to the website, click the window that says "Log In" and enter that name. The password is "music1" for all students. If for some reason it doesn't work at home, please give me a shout and I"ll see what the problem is.
Your child will have a great time personalizing their avatar, playing music games, writing songs, and so much more. I'd like for each of them to try it at home just for the practice of logging in, if nothing else! Our Kindergarteners have recently been using their username and password in computer class, and so it's good practice to do it on Quavermusic as well! Just remember that the password is "music1", not "ne" like they do in computers.
Have a great day!

Tryouts are this coming week, April 17-19 during specials. Here are some of the guidelines:
1. Students may audition as a soloist and as part of a group. Singing, playing, dancing, juggling, pogo sticking, drama, dance, and magic tricks are good examples of talent show material.
2. Groups are limited to 5 students or less, and may have students of different grades.
3. Participation is optional.
4. All acts must be under 3 minutes in length, and school appropriate in nature.
5. All clothing must be school appropriate as well and approved by the judges.
6. Karaoke tracks will be allowed, but students who wish to sing a solo or duet will not be allowed to lip-sync or sing along with the original singer. I will be happy to help you find a track to use that is appropriate, or accompany you on the piano.
7. If you can't be there during the audition slots we can arrange to set up a separate time.
8. The decision of the judges is final, and not all acts will be accepted due to time considerations.
Please have your child come prepared on the specified days ready to audition. We look forward to lots of great talent!
Let me know if you have further questions! Thanks!
