DUMAS MUSIC FESTIVAL
Parents and guardians of the Dumas Intermediate Choir:

We are quickly approaching our biggest event of the year, the Dumas Music Festival. This event is hosted by our own Dumas High School to showcase great singing in a competitive environment. We have been hard at work preparing our songs for the contest, and honing our skills at reading music. Here is what you need to know about the festival:

Dumas Music Festival is on Saturday, April 18th at Dumas High School. Students must be checked in by no later than 9:25 AM in the Band Hall. ALL STUDENTS in 6th Grade Choir are required to attend the event for a major grade.

Students must wear their gray Choir t-shirts, nice jeans, and athletic shoes. No crocs, flipflops, or slip-on shoes of any kind are allowed as concert attire.

The choir will perform in the Auditorium at 10:00 AM. Parents are more than welcome to come listen. Since this event is judged by a panel of professionals, please do not come in late or allow noisy young children to disrupt the hard work your children have put in over the past several months.

Once the students have finished with the Concert and Sight Reading portions of the contest, they will be led out of the school through the front doors. At that point, they are free to stay and listen to other schools perform or to leave with you for the day.

If any student needs a ride from Cactus, there will be a bus that leaves from the Old Cactus Elementary School at 9:00 AM. It will return after the Junior High has finished their part in the festival.

If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach out to me by email at kip.white@dumasisd.org. I hope to see all of you come to see and hear the hard work your children have done this year! Have a relaxing Spring Break.

Yours in Song,
Mr. White

FESTIVAL DE MÚSICA DE DUMAS
Padres y tutores del Coro Intermedio de Dumas:

Se acerca rápidamente nuestro evento más importante del año, el Festival de Música de Dumas. Este evento, organizado por nuestra propia Escuela Secundaria Dumas, ofrece un espectáculo de canto excepcional en un ambiente competitivo. Hemos trabajado arduamente para preparar nuestras canciones para el concurso y perfeccionar nuestras habilidades de lectura musical. Aquí les detallamos lo que necesitan saber sobre el festival:

El Festival de Música de Dumas se celebrará el sábado 18 de abril en la Escuela Secundaria Dumas. Los estudiantes deben registrarse a más tardar a las 9:25 a. m. en el Salón de la Banda. Todos los estudiantes del Coro de 6.º grado deben asistir al evento para obtener una calificación principal.

Los estudiantes deben usar sus camisetas grises del Coro, jeans elegantes y zapatos deportivos. No se permiten Crocs, chanclas ni zapatos sin cordones como vestimenta para el concierto.

El coro se presentará en el Auditorio a las 10:00 a. m. Los padres son bienvenidos a escuchar. Dado que este evento es evaluado por un panel de profesionales, les rogamos que no lleguen tarde ni permitan que niños pequeños ruidosos interrumpan el arduo trabajo que sus hijos han realizado durante los últimos meses.

Una vez que los estudiantes hayan terminado las secciones de Concierto y Lectura a Primera Vista del concurso, serán acompañados fuera de la escuela por las puertas principales. En ese momento, podrán quedarse y escuchar las presentaciones de otras escuelas o irse con ustedes durante el día.

Si algún estudiante necesita transporte desde Cactus, habrá un autobús que sale de la Escuela Primaria Old Cactus a las 9:00 a. m. Regresará después de que la escuela secundaria haya terminado su participación en el festival.

Si tienen alguna pregunta o inquietud, pueden contactarme por correo electrónico a kip.white@dumasisd.org. ¡Espero verlos a todos venir a ver y escuchar el arduo trabajo que sus hijos han realizado este año! Que tengan unas relajantes vacaciones de primavera.

Atentamente,
Sr. White

ATTENTION ALL 5TH GRADE PARENTS

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Your 5th grade students have the exciting opportunity to choose from a few electives for their 6th grade year. They must choose one from either P.E. or Pre-athletics, and one from either Band or Choir. Pre Athletics will have a greater emphasis on preparing students for Junior High athletics than a typical P.E. class. They will focus on learning fundamentals in Football, Volleyball, Basketball and Track. Band and Choir will both offer a variety of musical opportunities that can help your student achieve success outside the regular classroom. Additionally, there is an Honor Choir that meets at 7:30 before school. Anyone, regardless of if they are in Band or Choir, can audition to be in this group. Please be aware that whatever classes your student chooses, they are committing to that class for their entire 6th grade year. If you are interested in receiving more information, we will have an optional parent meeting on Wednesday March 11 at 4:00, or you can reach out to us by email.
Thank you,

Tyler Seward, Band Director
