Keiki Choir to go to Disneyland next year!

January 31, 2013

Aloha to all present and future member of the Keiki Choir, this means second grade students too,
We are very excited to announce that during the spring of 2014 the Keiki Choir and the Middle School 7th and 8th grade band will be traveling to California for a series of concerts, workshops and of course WE’RE GOING TO DISNEYLAND.
If your child is a 5th grade member of the choir this year (2012-2013) they are also invited to be on this trip. As Lilo and Stitch says, “’Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind, or forgotten.” It has always been an option for 6th grade students who were members of the Keiki Choir to remain in the choir for 6th grade. Some years we have a several students that opted to do that – they even performed with us in the Christmas and Spring Concerts. Middle School does not offer a choir experience in the 6th grade and we want our students to be able to continue if they so desire. Since next year is a travel year for the choir I hope that many of the singers will choose to remain with us. Our rehearsal schedule will remain the same, the 6th graders will join us in rehearsal when they are released from school a few minutes after the elementary students are released. It is very doable.
None of the children have know anything about this trip and I suggest that you tell them the news as I know it will be all over school on Monday and this is best heard from you.
We are planning an informational meeting for all interested families on February 20th at 5:30 in the Middle School Band room. We will be joined by our trip coordinator Rebecca Ito, from Travel Pro. She is a veteran of bringing K.S. groups to the mainland and a former band parent herself. She will be able to answer many of your questions that evening.
Hope to see you there,
