RVCC Newcomer class next Thursday. Invite a young singer to come and sing with us!

[Kim Davidson]

Hello RVCC,

Could you help us to recruit some new singers for the next semester?  We especially would like to add 2^nd graders to the A Choir, and 5^th-8^th graders to the B+ Choir.  (we’re going to change the style and class set-up for the A Choir next year and so 2^nd graders to join the A Choir for the spring semester is the best fit.)  We have a Newcomer class next week, Thursday, December 12, 6:00-7:00 at Faith Alliance Church at 7505 Barrens Road in Roanoke.  (near the airport) There are sign-ups online on the choir website.  https://www.childrenschoir.com/how-to-join

 

I know that there are more children out there who love to sing and would benefit from our choir program and would love to sing with us!  I could really use your help to find some new singers to grow our numbers a bit.  Right now, the B+ Choir has 29 singers and our optimal size for the most comfortable singing balance is 50.  Our goal is to add 10 new Middle School singers starting in January.

 

In the A choir we have 10 adorable and wonderful young singers.  We like to have 20 in the A Choir.  Do you know some 2^nd graders that you could share our singing information with?

 

I’ve attached two documents that you can share with friends, acquaintances, youth groups, after school groups and other places with children in grades 2-8.   We have a special recruitment postcard for the B+ Choir for grades 5-8 and we have a donation to offer 10 50% off tuition scholarships for the Spring term.  The concert poster has information about the class on Thursday for all school ages.

 

With the schools not allowing us to send flyers home with students, and our very, very small advertising budget, our best avenue for sharing the good news about our wonderful choir program is you, our choir families.  Please share our information with as many people and groups that you can think of.  And THANK YOU so much!!

 

Other quick notes:

·       The Taubman Sing-A-Long is tomorrow.  Choir t-shirt and nice jeans with a Santa hat, ear muffs, festive headband and/or colorful scarf.    Arrival time is 10:15-10:30 to the theater of the Taubman Art Museum.  Parents, please keep all of your choristers belongings with you.

·       Holiday Pops at the Salem Civic Center tonight.  Tickets are available!! 

·       Invite a teacher to the concert and get complimentary tickets from them.  Email the information to me:  Teacher name, school, student name, and which concert; 1:30 or 4:00. I will then send tickets home with your chorister at the next rehearsal.

·       No A B B+ Family Choir rehearsal on this coming Monday so we have more time to practice for the School tour.  A B B+ Parent and Family Choir rehearsal on December 16 only from 5:45-6:00.

·       A B B+ Costume check on Monday!

 

Holiday Pops for the Concert Choir tonight and the Sing-A-Long for all tomorrow!!  We’re spreading lots of Holiday JOY!
