Week of January 4, 2021

'Where Tradition and Excellence Meets Innovation and Opportunity'

Thought of the Week:

If you want more joy in things

YOU have to put in more work, effort, and care to what you do.

‌

Greetings!

Happy New Year! We made it to 2021 - I think we all can agree that even though 2021 didn't change every issue in the world that we are dealing with, we all felt like 2020's gifts would never end. I'm hopeful that 2021 will bring more good news in our future.

I'm excited that we will be continuing our work together with some things coming up in our near future. Our show choirs are now preparing for First Look. Our high school show choirs also gearing up to make music videos of their competition shows - something we have never done before. The concert choirs will be beginning their work on a new tradition for the February concert that will be known as our Artist In Residence Concert this and future years. This year, we have had a piece commissioned for our choirs to sing by the composer Dr. Jacob Narverud. He will also be coming in to work with our concert choir students in the month of February.

This week is virtual for students. The expectation for each group will be in their group's section below. Be sure to read what is expected.

We are looking forward to so many things regardless of the situation at hand. It's time to make things happen!

Have a great week, everyone!

Mr. Mercer
