The date fo the ceremony is October the 8th so time is short! 

I have added a new sub-page to the HOME page on the page display to your right.  It is called National Nominations and Award.  If anyone, would like to see the awards and nominations that they choir has been given, please take a look there.

Hello,  Meaghan Williams speaking and this is a cry for help!!!

I need pictures from this last trip as well as a few additional ones so that I am able to put them in the Photo Gallery.

With this new trip coming up in June I will also need sources for pictures and such.  I would really appreciate it if someone did this for me!

Right now I have no pictures what so ever and I need people to help supply me them over this new year.  If you have some pictures that you think would be a great addition to the Photo Collection then please send them to me at my E-mail address below:

webmaster-in-training@hotmail.com

I hope to be able to post some pictures as soon as possible, but I will need help to make that happen.

Mary Kay has been recently informed that the jackets purchased for the entire choir are not red but black.  Mrs. Henderson is requesting for the choir members to buy gloves, hats, and scarves for the upcoming winter weather and events. 

This goes for ALL choir members, not just Macy's.  Everyone gets a jacket, so everyone needs to buy warm gloves, hat, and a scarf for parade wear.  Remember, anyone showing up to a parade without proper attire (whatever is assigned for that parade) will not participate.
