DISTRICT 3 MS HONOR CHOIR 2011

2012-02-04T20:43:00.000-08:00

I just found our songs on youtube.com. How cool is that?

Mrs. Helen Dietz is the director and 6 of our TJHS singers are in the choir. We're the ones with the colorful t-shirts. (2 sopranos, 2 altos and 2 baritones.)

Someone did a good job video taping the entire concert. Here's Seize The Day to start with and you can find the other songs easy enough on youtube.com. Enjoy!

SECOND TRIMESTER

2012-01-31T21:41:00.000-08:00

The Trimester system has taken a lot of our singers out of Concert Choir this trimester but those of you that remain are doing great!

I think many of you realize that you must become the leaders of your section and you're accomplishing a lot.

I just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with all of you...in all 3 of our THS choirs. Keep up the good work!

VOCAL ENSEMBLE CHRISTMAS PARTY 2011

2011-12-24T10:52:00.001-08:00

TIME FOR A BREAK

2011-12-19T19:23:00.000-08:00

Whew!!!!!!!!! That was quite a month of activity for the THS Choral Department. Thank you to every student that made it a fulfilling time for us all.

You put a lot of work into our Winter Concert. Good job!

The Vocal Ensemble actually sang at 11 different spots around Tillamook on Wednesday, December 14th...in just 3 hours. I don't think we've ever completed a round of caroling at so many places. Nice work, VE! It felt great to spread some Christmas cheer. (You might want to dry clean your dresses and wash those tux shirts.)

It's break time now. Get some rest and we'll meet back at school next year :-)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

WINTER CONCERT PICTURES

2011-12-19T19:20:00.001-08:00

Thanks to Facebook again, here are some great snapshots of our THS Winter Concert:

WASHINGTON SQUARE & ZOO LIGHTS

2011-12-10T12:55:00.000-08:00

Only 10 singers, but you sounded great at both venues. Enjoy the slideshow. Every picture seemed to be a good shot of someone else, so I included a lot of the same shots. The polar bear cave is always a highlight, even though there are penguins in the water now. Thanks to the Rogers for taking me to Target for school lights and for taking some of our pictures.

Another successful Christmas Trip for
the Vocal Ensemble archives!!

A GOOD TALK > > >

2011-11-09T18:34:00.000-08:00

I thought we had a great discussion in Concert Choir today regarding racism...it was part of our school Embracing Community emphasis this week and Concert Choir was 3rd period when the discussion was to take place. Way to speak up and share, singers. I was proud of you for supporting each other and taking to heart each person's story. Quoted in part by one of our basses from Dr. MLK's I Have A Dream Speech: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
