Please email Heather Tryon if you have any problems or questions with signing up.
NOTIFICATION: The conductor, Heather Tryon, will email the parent whether or not the student made the group after all auditions are over. Unfortunately, due to the large numbers of students and the fact that students' voices develop at different rates, there may be a few students who audition who are not yet ready for the group. We encourage all interested to try, but to also be prepared and understand if not accepted.
FEE: Honors Chorus members are required to pay the Needham Public Schools Elementary activity fee of $125/student/year. Fees will be collected the first week of rehearsals.

CONCERTS: Concerts will be on January 23rd and May 21st at 7:00pm the Newman School. Please put these concert dates on your calendars now so that you will definitely be able to take part.
