Lettering
If you plan to receive a choir letter this year (you must have auditioned for District Choir), Letter Point Tally Sheets are due no later than Friday, 2/1. Bring any programs for concerts you have attended thus far. You will have a chance to add others in the spring. Don't worry about fund raising or submitting voice/piano lessons right now. We will take care of that later, as well. If you are not planning to letter this year, but want to carry points forward to next year, you may turn in your form at the end of the year.
