Thank you & Reminders
Dear parents,
Thank you so much for your support last night. We had plenty of food for all that were there. You are an awesome group of parents! I also want to thank those families who hosted members of the choir. These visits from other choirs provide wonderful opportunities for our member families. You have a chance to meet other kids who love choral singing and, as in this case, learn of other cultures. The concert performed by the Czech choir was incredible. I am thankful that both Esprit and Summit were able to hear it. I am sure that the Czech girls (and boy!) were touched by our portion as our kids made them feel welcome. The LCC staff and board appreciate how everyone stepped up in volunteering to host this group.
Now to some reminders. Many of you turned in your fundraising packets last night. If you have not turned yours in yet, please contact me at 303-774-6304 or cell 720-394-7774 and arrange to get the packet to me right away. I will be turning the order in to Jerry at S'Cool Services on Friday.
Please remember that there is a Parent Meeting on Monday, October 30, at 6:30 in the band room at Westview. This is where Esprit rehearses. Summit and Esprit parents are to come at the same time. The meeting will focus on our Gala fundraiser in February. The tentative agenda is:
1) Background of our fundraising efforts
2) Presentation by Gala Committee Chairs on each of their committees
3) Parents selection of committee to serve on
4) Committee break-out
5) Esprit parents will be excused & Summit will receive an update on tour
We will be asking some of you to consider switching committees since a couple of them do not have enough people to serve. Also, we ask that your LCC member and any other children stay with you for the meeting or be supervised by another adult.

Fundraiser & new concert
Hello everyone!
I hope you enjoyed the concert Saturday night. Both choirs did a wonderful job. Thank you for coming and bringing family and friends.
I just wanted to remind those families who are participating in the S'Cool Services fundraiser that you have one more week to sell items. The order sheet and payments are due to me at next Tuesday's rehearsal on October 24. If you know that you will not be at that rehearsal, please call me, 303-774-6304, to arrange a time to deliver the orders to me. I must have the orders turned into Jerry at S'Cool before Friday, October 27. If any of you need extra copies of the order sheet, I will have a few at rehearsal Monday, October 16. It sounds like we have some good sellers out there! Good job!
The Artistic Directors have added a new concert in December. The owner of Guitars, Etc. in Longmont is sponsoring a Christmas celebration for 5 Saturdays starting November 28. He has asked if our group would sing some Christmas carols on one of the Saturdays. Esprit & Summit are sceduled to sing on Saturday, December 2 from 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. in the downtown area of Longmont. This is a great opportunity to be visible within our own community. This will be added to our calendar, which will be mailed at the next billing cycle. So, please mark your calendars at home with this event. Details will be provided as the event gets closer.
Summit parents, please remember that the $300 deposit for tour is coming due in November. You will be mailed a separate invoice and payment agreement for this amount. Look for these documents in the mail in the coming weeks.

Upcoming Concert Notes
Our first concert titled “We Are the Children” is just around the corner on October 14. We hope that you are encouraging friends and relatives to come. This concert is one of our ticketed concerts. Prices are listed on the website at www.longmontcc.org. Tickets can be purchased at the door, at TicketsWest in King Soopers or by calling our business office at 303-774-0990. The Board of Directors will be offering a season ticket package to the public for the last two concerts later this year.
We realize the financial commitment you already have to the organization. Therefore, the Board of Directors has set a special season ticket price for LCC families only. The package price is three concerts for the price of two and you must purchase the package to receive the discount. The package price is only for the immediate family of the LCC member. The LCC Family Season Ticket prices are:
$20.00 Adults
$16.00 Seniors/Students
$10.00 Children 12 & under
The package will be available at the door for this first concert. You will need to identify yourself as an LCC family to the board members taking ticket money. Please make your checks payable to Longmont Children’s Chorale.
We provide high quality vocal training and performance experience for our choristers. We also expect devoted and hard working members willing to work up to their full potential. Therefore, we would appreciate your help ensuring that your child is rehearsing their music at home during the week. The once a week rehearsals do not provide enough time to learn the music at a level we expect from our members. All music for both groups must be memorized by Monday’s dress rehearsal. Just a note about the dress rehearsals, your child does NOT need to wear their uniform.
