Hello everyone, Mrs. Porter here with a CAPA Vocal update!

We had our first concert of the season this week, our Classical Recital on Tuesday and Wednesday.  I am very proud of the work all the students have done and both nights were a success.  I have received positive feedback from parents and audience members.  Great job everyone!  Next up, we will be singing at the Peace Pole ceremony on Oct. 28th during the day and are choosing music for the Holiday Concert in December.  

We have some students getting ready to sing at the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) competition on Saturday , Nov. 1st in Lansing.  Ms. Jacquez, our resident voice teacher, is working with this select group on their pieces.  They will be competing with fellow high school students and will be able to hear performances from the college and graduate student divisions.  It is a great opportunity and the chance to hear some excellent performances!  

Don't forget to bring in money for the CAPA Hayride!  $10 per person is due by Oct. 22nd.  The hayride is on Saturday, Oct. 25th from 6-9:30pm at Real Life Day Farm in Canton.   I will provide the hot dogs and buns, anyone who is coming needs to bring either:
A 2 liter of pop or a case of water
Snacks--chips, trail mix, popcorn, etc.
Smores stuff--marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers
Dress warmly, the event is rain or shine.  We will meet at the farm.  Be sure to come, we always have a great time!

That's it for now, check back for more CAPA news!
