AUGUST NOTES

Thanks to Becqua & Helen Rogers, Loren Decker, Beau Pulliam and our wonderful Karla Bofill for their help in assisting the THS Booster Club park cars at the Tillamook County Fair.

We took an early shift on Thursday and it kept us plenty busy. Every year we help out the Boosters because I will be (again) asking them for financial help to maintain our HS choral program. The Booster Club is always so generous and happy to help us out.

And let's not forget all of our choir members who so selflessly gave of their time for other endeavors like...

working in the SAFE booth...

And those that danced, sang in the Talent Show and entered animals and the like.

Congratulations to all of you - you helped make the 2008 Fair great!



Saturday night the Vocal Ensemble sang the National Anthem before the Demolition Derby. We had only one mic, but the crowd could hear us and I heard many compliments.

Thanks to 5 VE alumni that sang with us: Amy Nordlander, Nasha vanDijken, Nathan Casteel, David Henderson and Timothy Wetzel.

We sorta "picked them up" as we waited by the track to sing.


Tonight I (and hopefully 1 or 2 VE members) will be attending the TSD School Board meeting at the District Office to share our plans to tour San Francisco this next Spring. The school board always appreciates a heads up...plus we kind of need their approval.


Tomorrow - Tuesday, August 12th - the Vocal Ensemble will be holding a Car Wash at Kepharts from 10:00 - 1:00. Please come and get your cars washed. I've seen some of your cars and they look mighty dirty...j/k.


Just 3 more weeks and classes will be in session. Start warming up your voices - we've got a lot of singing ahead of us!
