Weekly Memo - 9/7/2010 Print E-mail
  • WELCOME TO THE GIRL CHOIR OF SOUTH FLORIDA’S 2011-2010 SEASON! We have an exciting year of great music-making, events, and performances ahead of us, and we’re glad you’re here!  Each Tuesday, you will receive a memo with important dates and information concerning our choirs—please review these memos carefully.   
  • Our theory program will begins this week! Today, all choristers will receive a white theory folder with their first assignment(s) of the season.  Our new monthly theory classes will begin tomorrow, Wednesday, Sept. 8; this week’s class is for theory levels A, B, and C, and will be held from 5:30-6:30 at The Blake School (7011 W. Sunrise Blvd., Plantation, 33313).  PLEASE COME IN THROUGH THE EAST DOOR, NOT THE WEST GATE-please plan to drop off, as parking is reserved for the school PTO meeting).  These supplemental classes will focus on ear-training and sight-singing, and will give choristers a chance to ask questions about their worksheets.  While attendance is not mandatory, it is highly encouraged!
  • Need more girlchoir in your life? Go to info.girlchoir.org and click on gift shop, where you’ll find lots of fun girlchoir items—even a left-handed coffee mug, for people like Mrs. Peterson!
