week of December 18

CONGRATULATIONS!
I am VERY proud of you for your hard work, which resulted in an amazing concert last week!  The stickies are all down now and you may take any that were written to you if you wish.

There are still a number of people who need to pay for their pizza meal deal.  Please pay your $5 ASAP so that I can pay our bills.

PETER AND THE STARCATCHER FIELD TRIP
Please remember that the permission slip [and payment] are due before the end of this week.  Bring it on Monday for 10 XCR points, on Tuesday for 5 XCR points.  After Tuesday, no XCR, but it must be turned in before you leave for the break.

JINGLE JAM
Need a break from the stress of finals? Come hang out with us on Monday at lunch for Jingle Jam, a free concert in the Theater!   Bring a friend and enjoy holiday classics by the members of Estetica.  See you there!

Estetica: we will need to set up our sound at brunch before 3rd period.  Please meet me in the theater at the beginning of brunch to get it QUICKLY ready (we'll bring it over and get it in place, you'll need to finish it up and do sound check).  Check Remind for the recording of Man with the Bag and be ready.   We will rehearse and have time to change before we perform (meet in Room 91 at the beginning of 4th).

I will be working on grades on Tuesday evening.  When I'm done updating, I'll send a text via Remind.

TOUR MEETING
We will have a TINY tour meeting on Thursday, 12/21, long enough for me to hand out music, discuss the schedule and talk money!  Be on time so that it takes just a few minutes.  I will start PROMPTLY at exactly 10:15.

The Unsung Hero is someone who has selflessly gone above and beyond to help, inspire and be a positive example to his/her colleagues.

Our final Unsung Hero of this semester is Andrew Lee, who sings in Men's Choir.  Andrew always quietly and efficiently provides help whenever it is needed to whomever needs it.  He has a wonderful smile and a quick wit, and is a terrific addition to Men's Choir!
