Falcon Flyers

Dear Parents, August 20, 2015

This letter is to inform you that we will be having auditions for the 2015-2016Falcon Flyers, on:

4th Grade: Thursday, September 3, 2015 5th Grade: Friday, September 4, 2015

Your child will be scheduled for an audition on one of these days. The auditions will be held from 3:45 PM until approximately5:00 PM in the Music Room. Please note that your child will not be able to ride the bus home on his or her audition date. The time may be extended just after 5:00 PM depending on how many wish to audition.Students will need to be picked up in back of the school by 5:00 PM.

The audition process is fairly simple, and consists of group singing of a familiar song, a short vocal exercise and a brief tonal memory. All of this will be kept simple and brief. We want the audition process to be as stress-free as possible for your child. We will send home,with your child, the time your child will audition.

If you wish for your child to try out, please fill out the form below and have your child return it to Mrs. Goodwin NO LATER than 4:00 PM Wednesday, September2, 2015. A child may not audition without parental permission.

As you know, the Falcon Flyersis a fourth and fifth grade choir, which combined, creates a very large group. Because of this, conduct will be VERY important. We are stressing this in order that you might remind your child about conduct and school rules. Also, there is a chance that more students will be put on the waiting list.

The choir will meet this year on Thursdays from 3:45 PM until 5:00 PM, as well as some additional rehearsals prior to some performances. We have six performances scheduled for this year, two in November, two in December, one in March, and the last in May. Each choir member will receive a calendar of events that states all rehearsals and performances.

We hope to see your child at the auditions, and thank you for your time and attention. If you have any questions or wish to discuss this further, please call us at the school. The school telephone number is: 281-324-9380. If you cannot reach us by telephone, feel free to email Mrs. Goodwin at .

Sincerely,

Marsha H. Goodwin
