LNMS CHORUS Fall Concert NOVEMBER 1 st at 7 p.m. LNHS Theatre In this letter you will find some important information concerning our Fall Concert. Our students are working hard to prepare an amazing night of singing. First and foremost, as stated in the choral contract, performances are a vital part of the choral experience and a requirement in this course. All students should attend as it is worth 35% of our second nine weeks grade. In addition to that, these students have worked tremendously hard together. Teamwork and cooperation are an emphasis in this course and it is so important that we experience the performance as an ensemble, just as we have practiced in rehearsal. TICKET INFO Each student will be given 2 free tickets for their parents/families. Because there are so many students and limited seating at the high school, we can only allow 2 people per student to attend. If you would like to obtain your two free tickets, please fill out the attached order form of this packet and return it with your singer as soon as possible to reserve your tickets. This form must be returned by October 26 th in order to claim your tickets. At that point all remaining tickets will be available in a first come first served manner.

If you order it at the concert, they will ship it to your home before the holidays. Because we would like to archive this performance, we would greatly appreciate it that if you are bringing a small child with you to the performance, and they get restless, that you take them to the lobby. Our chorus students have been rehearsing for many weeks on their music, and we want to provide them with an atmosphere where they can concentrate without distractions. We will have a table set up in the lobby and order forms for you to fill out. If you would like to get a head start, you can use this and bring it the evening of the concert.
