Congratulations to all the ensembles performing this weekend at State Contest!  We will be sending students to Jackson High School in two shifts:  Bel Canto and Lyrics Choirs will be leaving PHS at 3:30.  Symphonic Choir and Kinsmen members who aren’t a part of any other choir will leave at 4:00.  Please don’t be late–we have a very busy evening full of performances!

Bel Canto:  4:30 p.m., Jackson Center for Performing Arts (JCPA)

Lyrics:  5:50 p.m., JCPA

We expect to return to PHS no later than 10:30 p.m.  Please have rides here ready to transport you home!

On Monday, April 21, the choirs will meet before our concert for final dress rehearsal preparations in the PHS Mattachione Theatre.  Please note that all times are estimates–ARRIVE EARLY so you don’t miss your ensemble’s only opportunity to practice the pit band.  Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your assigned rehearsal time, dressed and ready to perform.  ALL DRESS REHEARSALS ARE CLOSED.

4:45–Pipers

Remember that all times are estimates and we often are able to begin segments ahead of the scheduled time.  Please don’t be late!  See you then–don’t forget your beads!

On Monday, April 21 and Tuesday, April 22, the PHS Vocal Music Department will present “Bourbon St. to the Bayou:  A Celebration of New Orleans” in the PHS Mattachione Theatre.  Please join us at 7:30 p.m. for an evening of all things NOLA!  On Tuesday evening, we will honor our seniors with a cake and punch reception following the concert.  Please join us!
