Chorus & AC Gig this Saturday at the Center for Civil and Human Rights!

 Chorus and AC at the Center for Civil and Human Rights

Saturday, August 27-- Call time 8am Performances on the hour at 9am, 10am, 11am, and noon.

What is this event? The Aquarium, World of Coke, and Center for Civil and Human Rights are hosting the Pemberton Place Educators' Open House on August 27th. Registration for the Open House begins at 8am for teachers. Educators will tour the facilities throughout the day, and the building will open to the general public around 10am.

What is the timeline of the day? We will warm up around 8am and do sets of songs on the hour between 9am-12pm. Kids and their families will receive wristbands (until we run out) to tour the Center and the World of Coke in between sets.  Additionally, if kids want to hang around between sets we will offer to teach the songs to educators and kids who want to learn them and/or have sing-a-longs.  SPARK/Mary Lin's group will sing mostly a cappella with some guitars/drums. Our groups will focus on how music has been a vehicle for creating unity and enabling change. 

I can’t stay for the entire time. L Singers are not required to stay for the entire time, and drop ins are also welcome as long as you know the music and moves--practice videos are on the blog http://springdaleparkmusic.blogspot.com/ on the Chorus & Advanced Chorus practice files tab (scroll to the bottom).

What is the attire? Singers should wear SPARK on top, black shoes/pants/skirt/shorts on bottom—remember we’re going for a uniform look as much as possible. If your child does not have a Music@SPARK shirt ($11 by cash check or online on the Springdale Park website) I have some left over from last year (the new year's order has not yet been placed). If we don’t have enough light green shirts I have some dark green Music@SPARK shirts to loan. If those run out, this year’s SPARK school shirt will be fine.

When we perform in public our singers are representing SPARK, APS, Ms. Turgeon and you. Any behavior that does not reflect positively on our group will result in the singer being asked to leave the performance and/or their ensemble.
