New GMU Announcement

If your student is participating in the GMU Choir All-Day Event, I finally have more information! I’m attaching a schedule that GMU sent out, and I’m attaching an official flyer for the event. Please share this with friends and family!

a) Since I’m just now getting the schedule, I’m now seeing that there may be some “down time” and we aren’t having lunch with all the teachers/professors/students at the same time. Because of this, I need support and some chaperone help! If you are able to chaperone for this event, please let me know! You wouldn’t need to necessarily be in rehearsal the whole time! There is a Community Center with a Panera and other places for food/drinks that you can set up and do your own thing! I just may need a parent who is a phone call away, next to our rehearsal space, who can support in case of emergency.

b) Call time is officially 9am! Were meeting in the Concert Hall Lobby at 9am. If you will be walking your child inside, you can park in Lot K and walk to the Concert Hall. You will be parking in Lot K for the concert as well. Students are dismissed immediately after the concert.

c) Reminder – Parents/students are responsible for their own transportation to the event. I’ll meet you all there!

d) We are wearing Concert Black for the concert – just wear a nice dress top, black slacks, black shows, and they’re good to go

I think that is all for now – I’ll be sending out another email soon with details/examples for concert black soon!

This is an ALL DAY event on Saturday, October 15th, but students will still be able to make it to homecoming in the evening.

  • The schedule has not been finalized, but Dr. Billingham (GMU Choir Director) stated that students will be called around 9:00am, but this may change (could be earlier, could be later). I will let you know when I get an official word. Students will arrive, then stay with Ms. Campbell the whole day until the concert.

  • The beginning of the day will be a professional workshop with two GMU Professors from the Choral/Vocal Department. We will work on a song we will be performing later that evening.

  • After our workshop, the GMU Professors will lead us in a rehearsal with the other music for the concert. We will be singing two songs WITH the college students!!! So West Po will sing 3 songs total at the concert – one with just ourselves, and two with the college choir. So we have a lot of music to learn!

  • The FREE concert will begin at 4pm and will be held in the GMU Concert Hall. You are invited!!!! After the concert, students are dismissed.

  • Students/Parents are responsible for their own transportation. If you need help organizing a ride for your child, please reach out to the WPHS Choir Boosters. We can help make sure your child has a ride to the event!

  • GMU will be providing and paying for their lunch. I’ll send out a form for your child to fill out letting me know what they want to order.

  • I will be with your child all day! So you can just drop off your singer in the morning, and come back for the concert by 4pm.

Please check back for updates as we receive them
