Practice Logs and More

Hey, everyone...
I hope you're being good while I'm out. There are tons of tracks online for your use now.

Next week when I collect practice logs, if you write "Lacey, Washington" on your Practice Log next to one of the two weeks that I'm grading, I will give you a bonus point (which, if you often turn yours in late, could come in handy.

See you Tuesday!

New Tracks

Hey, I've posted new tracks online. Chorus I, click here for Deck the Halls; Chorale, Chamber, and Women's Chorus, click here for Hallelujah!

Successful Pops Concert

I thought the Pops in the Park concert was a fabulous success! We couldn't have asked for better weather. And we can thank the sun for going down just at the right time. :)

Here's a quick picture from the event (thanks, Mr. Jones). I'll post more pictures on the website. If any of you or your parents have additional pictures you'd like to share, please send them my way!

Pops and Womens chorus practice trax

I have finished and posted the rehearsal tracks for "Hello, Goodbye. " They are currently posted on the Pops in the Park Rehearsal page. See the post below for the direct link. Otherwise, you can find it on the choir page by either going to the Chorale page or the Chamber Choir page and going to Rehearsal Tracks.

Women's Chorus, I have linked your parts for "Give Me Your Stars to Hold" directly on the Women's Chorus page. Either go to the choir page by clicking the link to the right or by clicking here.

Pops in the Park Tracks

I have finished rehearsal tracks for the Richard Rodgers medley. To hear the files, click here. Take some time to browse the choir pages while you're there.

I'm still working on the Beatles medley, so it might be another couple of days.

All-Southwest Honor Choir Tracks complete!!

I have finally recorded America, the Beautiful and so can finally work on making CD's for everyone. Those that don't want a CD and would like to just use the tracks online, just let me know.

All tracks are on the website.

We had a great first couple of days of school. I think this is going to be an exceptional year!

Back to the Grind - Website updated

I know it's still a week before I'll see most of you, but I wanted to let you know that I'm back at the school and have finally been able to update the choir website. For now, the website address is staying the same (Yay!), so check it out. The Rutter piece for All-West is now up. I've also now received music for our last piece (America the Beautiful), so I'll be working on that this week as well!

See you next week!

Rockstar Camp

I just got this via Facebook today and I said I'd pass it on.

It's almost time again!

Hey everyone!
Sorry it's been so long since I've written. I've been enjoying my summer!

I understand that some of you have been trying to practice All-West music, but the links have stopped working. It's all because of the merger. The servers have changed and my email address has changed and so my website has changed. I won't be able to fix it until school starts. Sorry!

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again!

In the meantime, I've been busy writing a musical this summer. I have finished it and have created a teaser trailer for it. Enjoy!

More for ASW 2013

Hey everyone,
So, several of you checked out the five pieces I had available at school. I received piece number 6 yesterday: Nadie me salvara. I've already finished the tracks and posted them as well as a link where you can download the sheet music yourself. Click here to go to the rehearsal track page.

Also, I'm still working on tracks for John the Revelator and O Clap Your Hands. Hopefully I can finish them this week before school gets out and life goes into summer mode. Keep your eyes on the blog.

We're still waiting for America the Beautiful because it's being done specifically for ASW. As soon as it's available, I'll post on here.

Update: 12:47 PM, Just posted John the Revelator, didn't feel like creating a new post.

More tracks already!

I have just uploaded tracks for Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs and Give Me Your Stars to Hold. You can get to the tracks by clicking here.

By the way, just so you know, the tracks can be streamed online or downloaded to your computer or other mobile device.

Thanks for the great year!

Thank you everyone for a great year! This summer, I'll be working on and posting rehearsal tracks for the All-West pieces for next year. As I finish, I will post on here telling you to go to the website. I have actually just posted the tracks for Jesu, Dulcis Memoria, so get to work!

If you would like to listen to the tracks from the Spring Concert, click here!

Have a restful summer!

2013-14 Choir Roster

I have been working hard on next year's choir roster. I know a lot of you have been on pins and needles waiting for this information, so here it is. This list is not final. There may be more people added or some people moved around. If you're wanting two (or more) choirs on your schedule for next year, please let me know.

Click here to see next year's roster.

Also, I've put tracks online for the Alumni Song. Start practicing!

One last thing: Chorale, I've added tracks for "Let Their Celestial Concerts Unite." I know you don't have sheet music for it yet, but you can begin listening and working.

New Tracks and More Coming

Hey, I have been busy. I've posted tracks for Women's Chorus, Chamber Choir, and Chorale in the past couple of days. I still have one more song to do for Chamber (Set Me As A Seal), but I hope to have that done today. Please be working on your songs!! UPDATE: I've got the tracks for Set Me As A Seal online (for Chamber women). Also, I put up the video from Chorale's Student Live Listening Log. Click here to view it.

New Choir Dress

New Choir Dress. This is the style we're going with next school year. Picture this in black.

Could all you with smartphones do me a favor (since I don't have one). Could you scan this QR Code and tell me if it works (it should take you to the choir webpage). I'm thinking about integrating this technology into our Spring Concert Program. After you've tried it, please leave a comment to let me know if it worked.

Holiday Tracks online

Hey everyone, Just FYI, I've posted the tracks from our concert on the choir website. Take a listen and enjoy!
