Spring Trip

Our spring trip to Houston is right around the corner. We leave in two weeks, so we're right in the middle of preparing for our performance. That's why it's very important that you don't miss any of our after-school rehearsals which are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:45-4:45.

More information about the spring trip will be posted soon.

UIL Contest 08

Recorded at the Region 6 UIL Contest in Andrews on April 10, 2008

UIL Week

It's UIL week. We go to UIL contest on Thursday, April 10th, so it's important that everyone stay focused and work hard toward the same goal. We have two after-school rehearsals left: Monday, 4-7, from 5:30 to 7:30; and Tuesday, 4-8, from 3:45 to 5:00.

On Thursday morning, we leave for Andrews at 5:45. That means you have to be at school at 5:30! That's early, so get to bed at a decent hour the night before.

UIL Concert, JV Choir

Listen to the JV Choir at Tuesday night's concert.

UIL Concert, Varsity Women's Choir

This is the Varsity Women's Choir at last night's concert.

Pre-Contest Concert

We're having our Pre-Contest Concert Tuesday night at 7:30. The Lincoln Concert Choir and the JV Choir will also perform at this concert. I think all of you know how important this concert is for us because it allows us to sing our contest music in public before we actually have to sing in for the judges at UIL contest. The concert should last less than 45 minutes.

The Cactus Cuties sing The National Anthem

You'll be amazed at this performance by a group of girls ranging in age from 8 to 13. They sang the national anthem in Lubbock (their home town) before a Texas Tech women's basketball game on January 20, 2008.

Dinner Theater this Saturday!

Our annual Dinner Theater will be held this Saturday at 6:30 in the Lincoln Cafetorium. Tickets are $11.00, and can be purchased from choir students or at the door. The Dinner Theater is a presentation of popular music by individual choir students and an ensemble or two. This year's theme is Black and White Love Affair, so you'll hear a lot of songs about love.

The food will be catered by Carino's, and will include Pasta Mia Bowtie with tomato sauce, garden salad, and tea. You'll notice that dessert is not included. That's because we'd like for you to take part in our dessert auction. We'll have lots of pretty and tasty choices!

All the proceeds will go toward the choir trip to Houston in May. So plan an evening of good food and good music.

Domine Fili Unigenite (Palestrina)

Does anyone in the Varsity Women's Choir recognize this piece?

Rehearsal schedule

It's 7:41 Monday evening, and I'm getting ready to finally go home after our evening rehearsal. Don't forget that we are rehearsing on Tuesday and Thursday of this week after school, from 3:45 to 5:00. Rearrange your schedule if you have to, but don't miss these rehearsals, unless it is truly an emergency.

Coke products

Don't forget that the coke products will be delivered on Thursday, March 6th, after school. Students will need to pick them up in the small gym parking lot.

It is very important that you make plans to pick up the products. I will not be happy camper if I have to bring your products into the choir room because you didn't show up to pick them up. :)

Practice, practice, practice!

Listen to this message from me to you.

Music of the Night

My favorite song from The Phantom of the Opera!

Where have the years gone?

Here's another picture from a few years ago. These choir students were in middle school when this picture was taken.



Somebody has been in love with Johnny Depp for a long time now!
