HillsideKids Choirs are here! Rehearsal & Performance Schedules

HillsideKids Children’s Choirs are here....
Calling all children ages 3 years* to 5th Grade...you are invited to join the HillsideKids Choirs.  Our first performance will be on Mother’s Day, May 13th at the beginning of both 9:30 and 11:00.    
HillsideKids Preschool Choir: for children 3-6 (but not yet in Kindergarten)

HillsideKids Elementary Choir: for children in K-5th grades
Depending on how many sign up in each age level, we may be able to have a third choir just for 3-5 Graders.
Rehearsals will begin on Mondays starting April 23rd, 6:30pm.  Dates of rehearsals: 
Mondays, 4/23, 4/30, 5/7 at 6:30-7:30pm.  AND Sundays, 4/29 and 5/13 at 8:45am.
Rehearsals will be held in the UpStreet Room here at Hillside Church of Marin.
Children must be signed up in advance to be in the choir.  Please email terri@hillsidemarin.org and ask to be added to the email list for the choirs and provide the name of your child, date of birth, and grade level if K-5.   I will issue the rehearsal schedule listed above and more details about the performance shortly via the email group.  Any adjustments to the rehearsal schedule will also be issued via email so being signed up is important for all of us.

Our rehearsals are going to be fun and energetic.  We will sing a lot but we will also play games and have simple snacks to hold us over until we get back home.

Alicia Howard and Jenny Ferrari will be helping co-direct our multi-age choirs with me so we are guaranteed to have fun while we sing together. 

Program Needs:
BEHIND THE SCENE PERSON:  We do need someone willing to help with props, sets and future concerts so if you are a behind the scenes kind of person, please send me an email and let me know you are willing to help out.  

CHILDCARE FOR LEADERS ONLY: Also would love to add someone to do child care for leaders children who are too young for our choirs.  So if you are going to "wait" for your child in the parking lot or at the mall, would you consider serving instead. Let me know!

RHYTHM INSTRUMENTS: If you have drums, shakers, cymbals, bells, at home and would allow us to use them for our choirs, would you please make sure your name in clearly marked (if you want them back) and drop them off in the children's registration area on Sunday mornings between now and our first rehearsal.  Thank you.

SNACKS COORDINATOR:  If you like to prepare easy healthy snacks for our group on Monday nights only, let me know.  

Looking forward to making "joyful noises" with your kids!

Terri

*Children may join the choir during the month of their 3rd birthday.
