Great Field Trip! Assembly Plans!

The Dowell Singers once again did a great job performing in the community this week.  I am so very proud of the hard work from these students - Great job!   The West Cobb Business Association saluted our performance as well as our behavior.  The Preschool Center and Presbyterian Village also extended a warm response.    Our last performance of 2007 will be Friday morning, Dec. 21st in the gym.  Students, please wear your chorus t shirt with Jeans and tennis shoes and report to the music room promptly at 8:10am for roll call and line up.   In addition to our familiar chorus selections, Ms. Jenkins third grade lass will do the live rendition of their podcast!  A 4th grade class will present "BAG's on Safari",  Kindergarten and 1st grade will do their sequencing song "Must Be Santa",  Sleigh Ride featuring our very own Mosher the Mosh Pit!  Plus,  a montage of staff members will sing "Peace on Earth", a hit from the staff party!  There will also be songs from the popular "Polar Express".   We are looking forward to a great send off for our School Year 2007! 

Chorus Students: Field Trip on Tuesday

Dowell Singers:  Tomorrow is the last day permission slips will be accepted.  Please place them on the music room desk for our chorus manager to review.   Plan to wear your chorus uniform - black pants, black socks, and black shoes on Tuesday, Dec. 18th.  Please bring a jacket, and/or elect to wear your dress shirt underneath the uniform.  We will leave at 9:15 am, and should return by 1:30pm.  All classwork needs to be completed; so make sure you see your teacher for your assignments.  Looking forward to a great performance and a fun trip!
