Hey Directors!
Hope your school year is going great. I’ve got information for you regarding the 5 th & 6 th Grade
Honor Choirs. This event is such a wonderful experience for the students (and directors). I
hope you w ill be able to attend this year. All W est-Central schools are welcome! Our clinicians
and accom panists this year are M elissa Straw / Jennifer Alexander (5 th grade) and Carla Oliver /

All students must be supervised by certified employees of your school district. W hen possible,
the directors should stay in the rehearsals to assist in part-singing, etc. If you bring 5 th and 6 th
graders, there must be one adult for each grade. Those people m ust stay with their students
especially during the times students are moving from one place to another, lining up or waiting
to be picked up. Students should w ear concert attire during the day as there will be no facilities
or time to change. Please don’t allow students to wear blue jeans or tennis shoes. Dress up!
There will be no snacks furnished. However, students can bring w ater bottles that seal (and
sealed snacks for medical reasons). There is no food allow ed in Hendricks Hall. The concerts
are free and open to the public. Please encourage your administrators and board mem bers to
attend this event. W e are hoping the concerts will be recorded by some UCM students.
