Computers, Performances and Everything.....OH MY!

What a crazy week.....We are gearing up for our first performance in September (See calendar to the right.) I am really pleased with the progress of our kids. It's going to be tough to get in everything we need in the first six weeks of class, but I know our singers are the BEST and can do anything!

Computers.....let me start by saying.....I LOVE my iMAC. When we got this awesome machine last year I was upgrading from about a 10 year old HP. On my old machine, whenever I saved anything, I saved it to a USB drive knowing that the computer would sometime die. Well, old habits die hard. On my new great iMAC I also saved EVERYTHING to a USB flash drive.......This past Thursday we had some crazy power surge or something and all my files are GONE!!! Newsletters, some accounting info, performance notes, it's really gone....So, the moral of my story: back up, BACK UP, BACK UP! .......I think I have learned my lesson.

On a happier note....Both Hollie and I will be able to team teach our Syracuse and Kaysville classes this week. I reeeeally miss seeing my Syracuse singers and can't wait to see how they are doing! See you at class!

Lyrics

Hi Singers,
We have e-mailed you with the lyrics to some of our current songs. Please take the time to read through these. This will really help the clarity of the words at our performance in September.

You are awesome!

See you next week,
Geina

PS. We still have a few openings in our classes.....Tell your friends! YOU are the reason our program grows....Thank You.

Great First Week.../Disney Info

What an awesome first week of classes! It was so good to see you all again. I am really excited with the level of performance we will be able to gain this year. What amazing talent!

Thank you, parents, for giving me the opportunity to teach your children! What an awesome opportunity. I hope they love it as much as we love teaching them.

On a different note...I have a Disney Performance Tour
information packet available.
If you are just dying to have more details, from hotels to ticket pricing, please e-mail me and request a copy. You can e-mail: geina@choralcollection.com.

We will NOT be requiring the jacket/pant warm-ups for our Disneyland performers. I have been reminded that it is HOT...IN CALIFORNIA....what was I thinking??? We will require a CC
T-shirt (already ordering for this year) and shorts. MUCH more realistic.
