Greetings to all Gunn Choir members and
families. We are off to a great start! We have lots of very talented singers,
returning and new, and we are all feeling really good about the musical year
ahead of us.
A few important announcements as we kick off 2012-13:
I) Choir Tour Sign Ups/ Registration
I hope you got the beautiful brochure in your back
to school mailing. If you haven't seen the brochure, you can download it here:
I have now posted the actual application form there
as well.
I have been working with the tour company to
re-vamp the payment schedule and I think it is now a much improved plan:
Sept
4, Application form and $300 due to Mr. Liberatore (make checks out
to KI Concerts)
Oct
31, $750
payment
Dec 21, $750 payment
Feb 1, $750 payment
March 15, Final Balance
The trip is $3295. The only charge not included yet
is the airline tax and surcharge which the airlines calculate closer to the
departure. That will probably be about $400, and you should consider the full
cost to be around $3695, and your final March payment around $1,150. If your
student will need financial support in order to be able to go, please make an
appointment with me before the registration is due so we can figure out how
much you can pay and how much the choir can pay, if you are not able to pay the
full cost on your own.
2) Choir Attire Fittings
Our awesome Choir Attire Volunteer EJ Hong
(mom of Natalie Hong) needs help with attire measurements next week. Volunteers
are needed at the following times:
Tuesday 8/28 from 8-10:33 a.m. (3 volunteers)
Wednesday 8/29 9:15-10:33 a.m. (5 volunteers)
Thursday 10:48-1 pm (optional if more measurements
need to be taken)
Please sign up HERE and bring a tape measure if you can help.
Thanks to our Volunteer Coordinator Lynn Drake (mom of Kinsey Drake) for
organizing this.
3) Choir Boosters Need YOU!
I hope you will all consider making a donation and
becoming an official member of the Gunn Choir Boosters.
The booster membership form can be downloaded here
as well: http://www.mediafire.com/?j8woj85idf1ij
Your donation will get in you into all all three
concerts (Fall, WInter Spring) and can get you as many as 2 or 4 complimentary
tickets depending upon your donation. Check out the possible levels of donation
and consider joining us as we create this great program for our kids.
4) Gunn Choir Website
If you have not visited our fantastic
website yet, please check it out. Barb Mackraz and the Boosters keep it
very up to date
and it's super useful when you are trying to figure
out what's happening. www.gunnchoir.org
5) Choir Family Kickoff Potluck
is Sunday, September 23 from 4-6. It should be a
lot of fun, and a great way to hear all about the choir and to meet lots of
other choir parents. We hope you'll mark your calendar and join us!
Back to School night is Thursday, August 30th. I
hope to see you all there!
Best,
Bill Liberatore
