BCMB HOME
 It
is my
firm belief that an
Outstanding Choral Program can only be created through open lines of
communication. Teacher, Students and Parents
must be able to have open, honest communication; or else problems start to
arise. If you ever have a question, idea or other comment concerning
ANY
aspect of Choir, feel free to approach me on the subject. I
can be reached by phone,
email, note or meeting (see p.1 banner).
Direct
communication helps to eliminate painful misunderstandings. So don’t be shy,
speak up!
A
large section of the Return pages of this newsletter is dedicated to providing
me with ways to contact you. It is important to keep both sides of the channels
of communication open.
If a
problem does arise, the sooner we communicate, the easier the solution.
As the
year progresses, I’m sure questions will arise. Keep in mind that I have 300+
students and their parents to which I must respond. If at all possible, please
communicate in writing via note or email. This gives me something to reference
when responding to you. Your comments and questions are important to me (both
parent and student)!
One
important link in our chain of communication is this newsletter and the issues
to follow. I know you’re busy so I’ll try to give you the information you need
in a easy-reference format. Keep these newsletters handy as a source of
answers to the most frequently asked questions.
As long as
we can have open communication, I’m sure that we can overcome ANY obstacles that
come our way!

Concert Attire
Each student is required to
wear specific clothing for our concerts as follows:
· Choir
T-Shirt (See below)
· Black
Dress Pants
· Dark
Socks (or nylons at girl’s option)
· Black
Shoes (Dress Shoes preferred)
The goal of concert attire is to play down individuality.
Therefore certain restrictions have been imposed on accessories. Jewelry is
limited to a watch. Earrings are limited to “stud” type (for safety).
Makeup should be applied so as to enhance “natural” beauty, not drastically
change appearance. T-Shirts will be worn tucked in so that the
waistband of the pants is clearly visible ALL THE WAY AROUND.
Shoes should have little or no heel and be comfortable as we sometimes dance
when we sing. If you have any questions about this,
please
feel free to ask WELL in advance
of the concert dates. I STRONGLY suggest shopping early to avoid the
holiday rush!

Choir T-Shirts:
All choir students need a
specially designed choir T-shirt. The cost per shirt is $15.00. White
shirts will be ordered for most students and black shirts will be ordered
for members of Jazz Choir (that’s one shirt per student, either white or
black). The order form was in the newsletter
but click the link below if you need another copy. Checks
should be made out to
Brunswick Choral Music Boosters or BCMB.
NOTE: Returning students may wear last year’s shirt if it is still in good
condition and still fits.

 BrunswickChoral
MusicBoosters:
BCMB is
an organization dedicated to helping our choirs by doing behind-the-scenes
work. They are involved in Fund-Raising, costumes, ushering, chaperoning and
all sorts of stuff we can’t live without! Who are these incredible people?
Why, they are caring parents JUST LIKE YOU! In fact, you are automatically a
member just by having a child in choir.
This year many of our more experienced members have left
the organization due to children leaving graduating. We need a new set of
parents who would be willing to help coordinate booster activities. Won't
you please consider joining this organization.
