Lincoln High Schools Choirs News

Our In-School Choral Festival Day scheduled for Wednesday, March 24th during school hours has had to be rescheduled due to the illness of our clinician. Unfortnately, several attempts to find a clinician replacement has created the need to reschedule this event next week. THerefore, on Wednesday, March 24th, students should attend the regular schedule of classes as usual. Choir classes will meet in the auditorium in preparation for the evening Pre-Festival 7pm concert.

Split Dimensions have been invited to travel to NYC to perform on the Broadway stage in the finale of "West Side Story!" Split Dimensions have been preparing their music with choreography. They have been attending evening choreography rehearsals and will rehearse on Monday, April 5th and the afternoon of April 6th. Our coach will depart from the school at 6pm on April 6th to arrive at our hotel, The Marriott Marquis on Time Square in NYC at 8am on April 7th. Their NYC weekend will include a production of "The Lion King," a tour of the U.S.S. Intrepid, where they will enjoy a workshop/clinic and perform on the deck of the historic aircraft carrier. They'll enjoy lots of sightseeing and will end their stay at an Awards luncheon in the Marriott for recognition of their work. The morning following "West Side Story," they also appear on the CBS Today Show! Sounds like a memorable weekend! All final trip payments are due. A parent trip meeting will take place on March 30th at 6 pm in the choir room.

Bravo! With only five weeks of preparation, Split Dimensions joined forces with Milan High School and Lutheran Westland Choirs to perform an outstanding Oratorio Concert by invitation of the Concordia College Choirs in the Concordia College Chapel on Sunday, October 11th! Parents and friends filled the chapel for this wonderful concert. Following the concert everyone was invited to a Hot Cider and Cookie reception hosted by the Concordia College Choirs. Split Dimensions were well prepared and their performance did Lincoln proud! Great job, Singers!

REQUIRED DAILY CHOIR MATERIALS

GUM RESTRICTION

Singing requires responsive and often deep breathing. As a result, choking is a concern. As a result, students CANNOT be permitted to chew gum or eat snacks during warm-ups, during the rehearsal, or during performances. For the safety and welfare of every singer, gum chewing is strictly prohibited during choir class and/or at performances. Food and colored beverages are also prohibited on the carpeted chair risers and/or in the choir room except for special occasions by permission of the director. For assurance that students are safe from aspiration (injury or death) parents will be notified if student resistance or a problem persists regarding this rule. Please explain the importance of this concern to your child.
