COWAPA LEAGUE CHOIR FESTIVAL 2009



What a week . . .


An All-Choir Concert on Monday . . .

An End-Of-Winter Band Concert on Tuesday . . .

And our annual COWAPA League Choir Festival today . . .

Here are some shots of our trip to Astoria:


We were missing 10 singers . . . yes . . . 10!

(20% of our choir)



This "sick bug" hit us hard.





The 42 of you that made the trip did an outstanding job
of getting our music performed.


We just missed 1st place by a 1/2 point.


You have nothing to be sorry about.


The one thing that MIGHT have put us over the top was basically. . .


a smile.

Yup . . . more facial expression on Gloria.

It's the little things that count.

We're goin' in the
State Tape Pool, though.

There's still a chance we can go to the
State Choir Championships. It would be wonderful to sing one more time with a full compliment of singers (all 52 of you).

Just keep thinking positive thoughts.


I'll type up
the judges comments and we'll review them after Spring Break.

And by the way . . .

I know quite a few of you had to stay after school to take tests that
you missed due to the Festival today. I'm impressed with the extra
effort you
give to be the best you can be.

HIGH FIVES TO ALL OF YOU.

We have new music to learn for our Spring Concert when you
get back to school so remember . . . keep singing!

And . . .

HAVE A GREAT SPRING BREAK ! ! !
