Oil City Middle and High School Choirs

ATTENTION CRAZY FOR YOU POTENTIALS: Tap Classes are on hold for the time being. Please check the website next week for terminology and demonstration videos, and your email for the password.

Please join us in welcoming Miss Danielle Watt, Student Teacher from Clarion University, to the Oil City Choirs!  Miss Watt will be joining us beginning August 28th.

I would like to get everyone together before the start of the school year to begin work on the upcoming year’s music, and to get a little ahead as far as material.  I would like to meet with everyone on Wednesday, August 22 nd from 9:00 to 2:00 in the high school choir room (BTW – AC is ON and working!!!!).  Lunch will be provided.  We will be working on new music, as well as getting the new members up to speed on some of the more favorite repertoire from past years (per your list).  I would like everyone in attendance.  Please let me know if you have an issue.  From what I have heard, Tennis has a match that day, and won’t be practicing in the morning, and Football does not start until 3:00, so schedules should be open.  If you are in another conflicting activity, let me know (I asked for schedules a while back…). Looking ahead, I am thinking theme for Night of A cappella.  “8 Track Flashback” comes to mind....

In preparation for the coming year, I would like to meet with all of the leadership on Thursday, August 23 rd from 9-12 in the high school choir room.   The schedule for the time is below: 9:00 – 10:00         Goals/Expectations for the Year; Working with Powerschool for attendance – Everyone 10:00 -12:00         Rehearsing/Conducting/Sectional Work – All RSL and Assistant RSL’s Please let me know if you are unable to attend.   After looking at schedules for sports practices, this time should work.   Looking ahead to the school year, I would like to meet with the leadership on Fridays from 2:40-3:00 for at least the month of September.   This will allow us to touch base about rehearsals, set goals for the coming week, and discuss issues as they may arise.   Thank you so much for your willingness to lead in your choir!

Reminder to Current Musical Cast: Tap Class tonight from 6-7 at Studio 22.

ATTENTION CRAZY FOR YOU HOPEFULS:  Tap class for tonight is CANCELLED.  Classes will resume next week (Monday, August 6 th ) from 6-7 pm.  Thanks!

Tap classes will continue for the rest of the summer from 6-7 at Studio 22 in Franklin.   Jacki has been very impressed so far with those of you who have come to work on your tapping skills.   For those of you who have not been in attendance, there is still time to learn the steps so you are ready for auditions in November.   If the schedule changes, I will be in touch.   Also, I will be sending an email out shortly with password access to the choir site for more tap remediation, including instructional videos and terminology.   Thanks for all of your work, and see you Monday!
