The Mona Shores High School Choir

 

 

 

FLORIDA UPDATE!! As you can problably guess, we spent the day at Epcot Center on Tuesday. Another day of great weather (although I must say I was a a bit jealous to learn that it was, like, 60 degrees in Muskegon!). Favorite rides included “Soarin’” (my father’s personal favorite) and the GM Test Track. We wondered thru the countries and just spent the day exploring all the cool stuff here, eating multititudes of food and finally finishing our evening off with the amazing fireworks show at Epcot! We got up at 6am so we could be in the park by 8am for the early opening. Today (Wed), it’s on to conquer “Animal Kingdom.” P.S. I messed up about the parade we went to Monday night…it was SPECTROMAGIC. Last night was, Illuminations.

UPDATED!! My sources tell me that most choir (exception Treble Choir) have been awesome for Mr. Closz! He’s a good guy people! Treble Choir, get it together folks…sneaking out of class during music theory and not giving 110% simply is NOT the way to represent the MSHS Choir!

MONEY DUE BY THURSDAY!!  Money is due, AT THE LATEST, on Thursday, February 12th.  Cakes can be frozen for up to 6 months and are all pre-sliced. They can be thawed and refrozen as well. The cakes have a refrigeration shelf life of 5 days. Thanks again for your support!

NEW!! Money and order forms for the Choir Hoodies is due by TODAY (WED). I have forgotten to say it on the blog but I’ll be the word has gotten out in class.

QUESTION/CONERN!! Gosh I’m nervous about this “Have a Heart” event! It’s difficult to know a big concert is coming up and I cannot be there to make sure it is moving along properly. I hope it is coming together okay…Are you ready to conduct Mr. Garrett?! Do we have enough acts now?! I hope so!!

Also, don’t forget about rehearsal this Thursday evening. Was an exact start time ever established?

UPDATED!! Have you always wanted to be a dwarf? The MSHS Players are holding auditions TODAY (Wednesday) for their spring play, “Snow White.”

REMINDER!! The Feb. 1st deadline for payment on the senior trip to NYC is now past. Keep in mind a late fee of $10 is added to payments made after the due date. The LAST payment for NYC is due by March 1st and will be $150. If you sold cookie dough or coupon books, see Mr. D’Oyly to determine what your final balance (if any) is for this last payment.

NEW!! The Lawton’s are having a truly wonderful time in Disney thus far! The weather have been in the mid 70’s and we have been going non-stop from morning ’til dark in Magic Kingdom. Today we move on to Epcot. Highlights this far have been: Taking little Jessie on Space Mountain (ended up being her favorite ride of the day!),Getting a free ride all the way down mainstreet in an old fashioned car and getting escorted right up to the front to watch the show in front of the castle, Meeting Mickey and Minnie with the girls, The Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain and the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and, of course, the Illuminations Parade was unforgettable. Watching my little girls see each Disney Character ride by in magically lit up floats that are unbelieveable. They were SOOOO excited!

UPDATED!! Were you very good to Mr. Closz on Monday and did you treat him with the highest respect?

Mickey Mouse and I both hope so! If not, Captain Hook (whom, incidently today, had a stare down with me, which ended in him threatening me with his hook ater we all yelled, “WE LOVE PETER PAN!!” during the Illuminations parade on Monday evening) will have the last word. Trust me, he’s much nastier than I!
