We are back to it! This Saturday is the first of three consecutive weekends of show choir for our students to close out our competition season (and to bring us into spring break!). It would be understandable for students to tire at this point in the year… but I urged them (as I urge us all!) to remain energized, hard-working, and enthusiastic to the end! We are so immensely fortunate to be able to do what we do- savor the opportunity! Finish strong!
Please find attached our detailed itinerary and the complete schedule for Norris “Fields of Talent” this Saturday.
We will see a number of groups this weekend that we have previously not had the chance to perform alongside this year. A reminder that all East community members- students & parents alike- are encouraged to be the most outstandingly positive representation of East High at all times while we are guests at Norris.
Looking forward to another fun-filled show choir Saturday.
