Chorus Updates 12-15-17

Just a few updates from H.B. Chorus:

Concert Make-Up 
Only students who were absent for the winter concert on December 7th are required to complete the Concert Make-Up Assignment on Schoology.  To the best of my knowledge, students will have 1 attempt to complete the short essays and I have made these attempt "resumable" so students can come back to the test at any time.  The final task on Schoology is to submit an audio OR video recording of themselves singing along with one of the concert videos (2 total songs).  Assignments are due on Wednesday, 12/20 @ 11:00pm. Please let me know if you have any questions about this process.

Holiday Songwriting Project on Schoology and Noteflight
Every choir student has been writing their own rhythms and melodies on Noteflight, an online music notation software.  The tasks for these assignments allow students to create their own musical ideas and here a computer playback of their musical choices (This aligns with our National Creating Anchor Standards).  I will be posting some of the students' musical ideas up on our website: hbmsmusic.org ... They have come up with some really fun and interesting ideas so far!  We will be concluding this project next week.  I am updating grades regularly for the Schoology/Noteflight assignments so please let me know if you have any questions!

Next Event: Fundraiser Night @ Buffalo Wild Wings - January 24, 2017
Mark your calendars!  Our next fundraiser night will be at Buffalo Wild Wings again on January 24th.  I believe the corrected address for their new location is 501 Stanton Christiana Rd, Newark, DE 19713.  This event was a huge success in the fall and we are glad BWW's has agreed to partner with us again.
 
Enjoy the last weekend before the break!

Sincerely,
Andrew Trites, H.B. Choral Director
