I hope you are
all enjoying your holiday break, and that you are ready for lots more
great music making next semester. Don't forget that musical
auditions are coming up next week! See our Facebook page for more information about
auditions.
The reason I am updating during the break is that we
have entered a new month, which means we have a new group of featured
students on our Meet a
Knight page! You're definitely going to want to meet these
students: Victoria Shum, Alex Wooten, Angela Young, and Ian
Appleget.
Enjoy the rest of the break!

December performing
season is upon us, and that means students will be busy little
musicians for the next few weeks! All performances and related
information has been given to classes, and are also accurate as of
today on the calendar. In the meantime, we have a new group
of featured students for December! Go to the Meet a Knight page to learn more about Willow
Lessman, Miranda Cannon, Bryan Soderquist, and Max Green. I think
you'll agree that this is a pretty awesome group of people.

The
year
is going great, and our first two concerts have gone
exceptionally well. We are starting to gear up for our Holiday
Season performances, especially for the Madrigal Dinner and Holiday
Concert, coming up on December 12 at Sheridan Lutheran Church.
More information about our December performance schedule will be
available on our Calendar
starting around the Thanksgiving break. In the meantime, be sure
to check out our Facebook
page for announcements, reminders, and other news.
While
you're
here, you can also enjoy another special treat, a feature
that we've brought back to lsechoir.org due to popular demand. Meet a Knight is
back! On that page, we will highlight a different student from
each grade level every month, starting with November's Students of the
Month, Matt Eschliman, Ressa Penland, Christian Jungck, and Chloe
Glenn. We have some great students with interesting things to
say, and this is a great way to get to know a bit more about them!

Welcome back to school, LSE singers! The
first full day of school is over and we are all so excited about this
year's choirs! I have finished adding this year's performance
dates to the Calendar. So far it is just the dates from
the performing arts calendar, so expect to see lots more added
throughout the year!
First up is our Vocal Music Booster
Dessert Night next Thursday, August 25 in LSE room M111. All
parents of vocal music students are invited to attend to learn more
about our Booster organization, which is vital to the operation of our
department. Please bring a dessert to share with others. This
event is mainly for parents, but students are welcome to come and try
some desserts.

The
lists
for
next
year's
groups have been posted, and can be viewed here.
Please take a moment to read the information sheet about list
posting. Teachers will be happy to conference with students about
their placement when we return from Spring Break. Enjoy the time
off, and see you third quarter!

Now that the
holidays are over, we're back at school and getting ready for auditions
for next year's groups. Students have been learning about the
audition process during classes this week, and auditions will begin
next week and last at least through finals. When we come back
from semester break, auditions for this year's musical will be
held. There will be more information about that later once the
title of the show and audition times are officially announced.
If you haven't
had a chance to check out our Facebook
Page, now would be a good
time to go, as there are lots of pictures from December's performances
recently posted. You do not need to have a Facebook account to
view our group page and its content.

December
performance
season
is
ramping
up,
with
lots of opportunites
for all of our choirs to get in front of audiences. All of the
performance dates I know of so far are now on our Calendar, and I will
continue to update things as changes and additions are made. Be
sure to check often for updates, and you are welcome to drop someone on
the music staff an email if you have any questions about the
schedule. Most importantly, be sure to remember this year's
Madrigal Dinner (including a melodrama!) and Holiday Concert at
Sheridan Lutheran Church on Monday, December 20. This is always a
great evening of entertainment and fellowship!
In the meantime, I encourage you to check out our group
on Facebook. Since it's easier to put quick updates on
Facebook, you may be able to find more current information there than
on this website. You do not need to be a member of Facebook to
view our page and see what's going on there.

Our
first performances are fast approaching. On October 2, Bel Canto
will be traveling to Kansas City to perform at the KC Renaissance
Festival. On Tuesday, October 5, they will join Queen's Court,
Excalibur and Singing Knights for our first school concert, at 7:00 in
the LSE Commons. After the concert, please join us for a choral
boosters pie fundraiser. Pie can be purchased for $2 a slice
immediately following the concert in the commons area. All proceeds go
to the choral boosters fund used to support Southeast choral groups.
Choral booster membership forms will be
available--sign up and help support our students and teachers! Your $25
will help purchase sheet music, pay concert expenses, and fund the end
of the year choral banquet..to name a few.
Outfits for Singing Knights, Excalibur, and Queen's
Court should be coming
home with students, along with outfit descriptions, financial
statements, and October 5th concert details. These were all given
to students today in class, so please be on the lookout. Students
should try on outfits as early as possible so that adjustments or
exchanges can be made before the concert.

Beginning-of-year
paperwork was sent home with students today. Each student was
given a packet of information, some of which must be signed and
returned by next Friday, September 3. All of these forms and
information sheets are also available for view and download on our Forms and Info
page. In case you are overwhelmed by the amount of paper you need
to get through, here's an easy checklist of what needs to be turned in
next week: (1)The bottom of the second page of the "Choral Music
Expectations and Grading" sheet needs to be signed by both parent and
student. (2)Pages 3 and 4 of "Parents'
Consent Record For Participation in Activities" need to be filled out
completely. (3)The "Parent/Guardian Permission for Field Trips"
form must be filled out and signed. If you are giving your
student permission to drive a car to performances, a copy of the proof
of insurance card for that car must also be included. Hope this
helps!
It's been a great start to our school year, and we
are all excited about this year's groups and everything we expect to
accomplish this year!

I have made a few changes to this website
to make it more easily updated. You may notice that the "email
updates" feature is gone now. Instead, I invite everyone to join our group
on Facebook, where I will post announcements that have been made in
classes and notify group members of website updates, upcoming events,
and other information that may not otherwise get to everyone who needs
it. I'm also hoping that students will post about news and events
that they would like the rest of the department to know about (such as
upcoming studio recitals, etc.). Pictures can be posted to the
group, or can still be sent to me for posting on this site.
Within the next week, students will be coming home
with paperwork to be read, signed, and brought back to school.
This year, I will try to keep printable copies of most of these and
other forms on our Forms
and Info page, so that families can easily access them without
having to wait for them to find their way home. We will still
give each student one copy of each form, but, if they are lost, we will
ask families to print subsequent copies from the website if possible.
(Note: the forms available as of today are still from last year and may
be updated for this year, so please wait until the new information is
available before trying to print. I will post here when forms are
ready for download. Thanks!)
Don't forget the Choral Boosters dessert Kickoff
tomorrow at 7:00!

Welcome

our first full day of school and all students seem to be ready to
make some first-rate beautiful music!
Look

performance and festival dates have been added to our calendar,
and there will be more announcements as we get things rolling. In the
meantime, don't forget to come celebrate the beginning of the year at
the LSE Choral Booster Kickoff on Tuesday, August 24 at 7:00 PM in
Room M111.
