Hello DLMS Choir parents,
We made it! I am so proud of our Duncan Lake choir students and all they have accomplished this year, including giving an excellent fall concert, caroling to Duncan Lake, being accepted into the State Honors Choir, and singing the National Anthem at athletic events. There are some amazing things going on at our school & we are grateful for all of your support! Please read CAREFULLY through the rest of this email, as it contains a lot of information regarding the spring. 1) Grades have been finalized and will be posted in January. Students were informed earlier this week that everything should be turned in by today. 2) We are excited that 15 of our Caledonia singers will be representing KMIS & DLMS in the MSVMA State Honors Choirs program in January! In addition, our 8th graders will have the opportunity to watch the Caledonia High School Choralaires dress rehearsal prior to their Michigan Music Conference Choral Hour performance in mid-January. 3) Please review the 22-23 CHOIR CALENDAR, specifically noting that we will be attending MSVMA District Choral Festival sometime during the week of March 14-17. In addition, you will see the finalized details for the Winter Choir Collaborative (8th grade only) and the Griffin's Game performance(ALL students). Please let me know if you have questions about the calendar. 4) GRIFFIN'S GAME - I will be sharing a link out after break to our Duncan Lake community that will include a promo code for ordering tickets online. The cost will be $20/ticket and I hope that all of our students will participate! More information on meeting times/location will be shared after break. 5) SIX, the MUSICAL - Students who reserved a ticket for this will be sent final details after break. To summarize our itinerary, we will depart around 6:30pm from DLMS and return around 10:30pm that evening. 6) There are lots of amazing musical things happening at our schools - follow Duncan Lake Middle School on Facebook to learn about our recent accomplishments and be reminded of future performances. You will also notice that we have a "DLMS Arts" section in our newsletter! 7) From now on, EVERY email update will be posted on our Choir website for reference. You can find that using this link. I shared with students today that this year has been one of the best yet since I began teaching in Caledonia. Our choir students are kind, respectful, and engaged young people and it is an honor to work with them every day. Thank you again for your support and encouragement as your students grow as singers and musicians! If you ever have a question or a concern, don't hesitate to reach out :) I wish you and your families a happy winter break! Sincerely, Mr. Goodyke
