Upcoming Due Dates:
- Sing to Serve is due on December 21st. Remember, there are TWO PARTS:
- Perform a service involving singing.
- Write a one page paper (typed and double spaced) about the experience. Here are some questions to consider: What did you do? Why did you choose this service? How did you feel? How did the audience react? Why is music an important part of schools? Communities?
- Second Performance Observation is due on the last day of the term in January. Remember, you need either a program, ticket, or selfie at the performance (make sure the stage is visible!)
