Hi Everyone!

I have to say I am greatly saddened by the complete lack of updates on this site. As I said last year to Mr. Emig, I will gladly take over. Yes, I just can't get enough of choir that I want to continue to help out. But really, we need some new content! Let me know if I can do anything! Love and miss you all! Courtney Miller

How are all my choir kids doing? I know that you guys never come on this or say anything, but I'm still dropping a line anyway! I miss you all so much! Choir was the ONLY thing about MHS that I thought I would miss, and I was 100% correct. But Chicago is amazing, and I love it a lot! I'll definitely be around at Christmas time to stop in and say hey! Till then, I'll just keep missing ya!
Love,
Jacqueline

To Branson Students/Parents

Sun, 01 May 2005 00:47:01 -0500

Dear Parents/Students:

The time has finally arrived for our trip to Branson Missouri! We hope that everyone will have a great time and return home with wonderful memories of a safe, but tiring trip! We have a few last minute reminders:

Please be at the high school at entrance I by 4:15 AM Monday, April 4. Bring your luggage to the choir room for inspection. The bus will arrive at 5:00 AM, departing shortly thereafter, and it would be a shame if you missed the trip.
Please bring something for breakfast and a snack to share, it will be a few hours before we stop. The travel time is approximately 8 hours, not including stops.
You are not allowed to leave your car in the high school parking lot while we are gone. Please have someone drop you off at the school.
A final written itinerary will be given to everyone Monday night; however, if you want to check it out now, or parents want to know details, the itinerary is here on the web site.
The long range forecast for Branson (compliments of weather.com) shows a possibility for rain later in the week and temperatures in the mid to upper 60's and perhaps the lower 70's. Plan your wardrobe accordingly.
Lastly, remember that daylight savings time begins on Sunday, April 3. Our actual return time may be earlier than what was provided by our tour company.

See you Monday... EARLY MONDAY... VERY EARLY MONDAY!

New Graphics!

Sat, 22 Jan 2005 21:18:24 -0600

Hey Hey! This goes out to my man Tom Dobes! Many of the people in choir have noticed that the title graphic with pictures of choir people in it on the home page is pretty outdated. All of the people graduated either two or three years ago. It would be great if you could make a new picture with some of the current choir people in it. Just a suggestion! Thanks a million!

Love, Jacqueline

A Holiday Message From Mr. Festa (Choir Booster President)

Tue, 30 Nov 2004 19:47:39 -0600

Hello all, I hope you had a pleasant Thanksgiving break. A few reminders as we race towards the Holiday Break in a few weeks. First ISSMA, this is mandatory for 2^nd and 3^rd hour students. Please be sure to make your song selection from the approved list. As I recall the deadline for the applications to be post marked is December 4^th…THIS SATURDAY!

Second, we always need help in decorating for the Holiday concert. Mr. Emig spends countless hours of his own time, as does Tom Dobes, Mrs. Neiman and others. Please check with Mr. Emig and come and spend an hour or two, we would really appreciate the help.

Hey Everyone!!!

Hey guys!!! It's your girl Jenny*Mu!!! I miss all of you like crazy. Sorry I couldn't come see Suessical! I'm totally swamped here at school. I'm sure EVERYONE did a fabulous job and hopefully I can see a tape of it. I will be at the Christmas concert tho! I promise. I can't wait to see the show and join you all for the "Hallelujah Chorus." Good luck to all of you!!! Keep working hard because you will definitely miss it like crazy when it's all over with. I know it gets frustrating sometimes but "just keep swimming" because it really is worth it. Well, I'm working on my term paper, so I'm gonna get going!!! Can't wait to see you all!!! Luv ya and miss ya bunches!

Rumor Control

Sun, 17 Oct 2004 16:59:07 -0500

Hello, to all who frequent this site. Please do not confuse this with any anonymous posts you read. This is Mr. Festa, the Choir Booster President, with a word on rumors. It has come to my attention that SOMEONE is saying that NEXT YEAR the spring trip will be to NYC. All I can say in response to that is wow, good one! Next school year is next school year, and there has been absolutely NO conversation between the booster officers and the directors on this topic. There has been discussion on this year’s trip to Branson. We are going to Branson, the trip is planned and the itinerary is just about set, therefore if you are in 10th, 11th or 12th grade you have these two options...ready, option 1-GO or option 2-Don't GO. It's just that simple. We would like to have you on this trip, as it is said, "the more the merrier" and it does help keep down the cost. Many of last years graduating choir class said it was the best trip they had been on, so I'll take them at their word. This said, I would tell you this, if Branson is cancelled due to lack of participants it is unlikely that there will be a spring trip next year either. We are exploring the concept of one trip every three to four years for financial feasibility. Thank you for your time, and if you have any questions that you have please feel free to e-mail me at D_Festa@MSN.com and ..."Have a Good Day."

Help

Tue, 12 Oct 2004 10:14:05 -0500

Is there anyone out there who can help me with my term paper?

Ay, youngins!!!

Thu, 07 Oct 2004 07:34:10 -0500

Hey, there! I just wanted to say YO to my buddy, Tom Dobes, and also, to any choir buddies. IU is pretty frickin' sweet, and has a great school of music! *wink wink* Anyway, I wanna wish you all the best of luck for your upcoming concert, and even more luck for Seussical!!! I really wish I could come see it, cause I'm sure it'd be VERY interesting to see Donnie as the Grinch and the bird backup singers, is it?..... Keep having fun, and enjoy your choir memories in the making!!!

Hi guys!

Mon, 27 Sep 2004 18:08:22 -0500

Hey Tom... I know it's been a while, but trust me, I have a good excuse. My genius roommate spilt a glass of water on my computer, so I've been out of commission while it was shipped out to be repaired. But I'm back, so now you'll have someone up at 2 am, because Lord knows us college students don't get to bed before 3, and that's only when we have a 9 am class! Anyway, to the masses (yes, I included the m!), I miss you all bunches, and ANYONE should feel free to email me (reternes@bsu.edu) with the choir latest, or just to say hi. I love all of you, and to my girls (you know who you are), when's the bsu roadtrip?!?
