Been busy this summer planning a fantastic performance season. Here are the dates so far. Be sure to check your calendars now to clear up any schedule conflicts. A few more dates may be added and/or change, but use this as a guide for now. The official performance calendar will be sent home and posted online on the first day of school.
Throughout the school year there are various activities that we engage in that would be completed more efficiently with the help of parent volunteers (i.e. driving to local performance venues, helping with rehearsals, etc.). However, in accordance with WCPSS policies, all parent volunteers must be cleared through WCPSS before they can volunteer. I am asking EVERY available parent to register as a WCPSS volunteer. As a WCPSS volunteer, you'll never be required to do anything you don't want to do or placed in an uncomfortable situation. You will always have the option to decline or request a different duty; however if you wish to volunteer but have not been cleared you will not be allowed to to so.
I also kindly ask that when you register to be a WCPSS volunteer that you also check the box that allows you to be a cleared driver. Again, you'll never be forced to drive anyone anywhere, but without this clearance you will only be permitted to drive your child(ren) to and from school sanctioned events. We ran into some very tight transportation issues last year. Having more parents cleared as a driver would be a tremendous help.
To register you must come in to any Wake County Public school (you don't have to drive to Martin, just go to the school closest to your home) and tell the front desk person that you would like to register as a WCPSS volunteer and they'll get you set up. Due to safety concerns, registering on your computer at home is not possible. Click here for more information.

Actual Audition TRACKS

Sheet Music (yes you will need to buy it... dude... it's $1.90)
Practice Tracks (... no that is NOT me singing)
Just a reminder that you will send me one video each month before school begins (i.e. one video in June, one in July one in August). Yes I know its summer but practice doesn't have to dominate your life. Use your down time. Got a long road trip to the beach? Grab those earbuds and practice in the car. In a long line waiting to ride a roller coaster? Yep! Sing through your music then. Whenever you've got a small span of time with nothing to do take some of that time and rehearse your music. You'll be surprise how quickly you'll have it solid. Happy practicing!!!
