Choir Mini-Performances Scheduled
Choir practice is in full swing and Mr. Lollis has scheduled some mini-performances for the choirs at upcoming Friday assemblies. The choirs will only perform one song (2-3 minutes long) during these assemblies, but it provides a great opportunity for the choir students to sing in front of an audience and the rest of our Cannon Cubs always love to be entertained by our Cannon choirs!
Cannon Cub Choir (3rd-5th graders) will be doing a mini-performance at the Friday Assembly scheduled for September 30th at 7:40 am. Students will be performing one song called The Spider and The Fly, which can be found in the Google Classroom.
Ositos Choir (1st & 2nd graders) will do their mini-performance at the Friday Assembly scheduled for October 7th at 7:40 am.
Members of these choirs should plan to wear their choir shirts, jeans, and sneakers on and be at the gym no later than 7:30 am on the date of their scheduled mini-performance.
Parents are welcome to attend!
