Please see the email message below I sent home to your parents about this last week. :)

Greetings Decibelles Families!

I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving break.

I am so proud of our Decibelles’ performance at Light Up Avalon. They were incredible and performed with so much Ruach. In all of my years directing The Decibelles, I have never received more compliments from strangers and those who know us well than  I have about their performance on that day. BRAVO!!!!!

Please remember to fill out the RSVP FORM FOR PERFORMANCE DATES FROM 11.19 to 2.25 from the 11.16 email. I have only received 3 responses so far,r but for planning purposes, I need all replies in at your earliest convenience.  Thanks in advance.

For next week’s winter concert, the Decibelles kick off the concert at 6:45 and are singing 3 songs (maybe a bonus 4^th J). They should dress in fun, festive attire meaning something that they would wear to a Hanukah party or a Bat/Bar Mitzvah party. Please cover shoulders though with a shrug or sweater if wearing spaghetti straps (no strapless please) and leggings or tights underneath if wearing a shorter dress. Hair pulled back from face please. We want to be fun, hip, festive, elegant AND school appropriate. Shoe wear can range from heels to boots to converse- whatever is comfortable and works with your outfit. Avi- can wear dressy casual or dressy or however hip or preppy party attire he would like to be!

Please let me know if you have questions.

Here is to a wonderful season and year of performances to go,

Kendrick

LIGHT UP AVALON TODAY/LYRICS

Hi all-

I have made a lyric sheet for you all with all of our lyrics as the majority of lyric sheets and sheet music has been left in my room after rehearsal. All of these lyrics are online but I have compiled them for you as well!

LYRICS SHEET TO SONGS FOR TODAY


REMINDER INFORMATION FROM EMAIL SENT OUT LAST WEEK. SEE Y'ALL SOON!

From: Kendrick Phillips <kphillips@davisacademy.org>

Subject: Light Up Avalon this Sunday- Decibelles this Sunday

Date: November 16, 2017 at 11:39:59 AM EST

To: Kendrick Phillips <kphillips@davisacademy.org>

Hi Parents of the Decibelles!

 

This Sunday is our Light Up Avalon event at Avalon Alpharetta. We will be meeting at the fountain by Regal movie theatre at 1:15pm as that is our check in time for the event per Avalon’s protocol. We will have time to run through our set list twice (which is a must for our group J )

 

We will perform at 2pm on the mainstage. Our performance time is from 2 to 2:15pm. After 2:15pm ,everyone is welcome to stay for the events at Avalon, lunch, shop, and enjoy the day!

 

Singers should wear their Decibelles oxford shirts (all shirts are in, please send in your $25 for your child’s Decibelles  shirt if you haven’t done so already) and jeans or their Davis blue bottoms. It may be a bit chilly so they should wear or bring their navy Davis Fleece zip up as well (and a coat if really chilly to wear before we perform).

 

Here is the link to the address: http://www.experienceavalon.com/about/#about-top

 

Please remind your singer to practice their songs, we have 30 minutes together each week to learn songs and rehearse, and it is imperative that each singer rehearse the songs and learn the lyrics to each song outside of our once weekly sessions. They should check the blog for song lists on the Davis Decibelles blog located at davisdecibelles.blogspot.com

 

Please also send/reply to me  REGRETS ONLY if your child will not be attending this day, so that we may confirm that we indeed have enough singers to perform on this special day. We would be thrilled to have every voice there.

 

Please let me know if you have any additional questions!

 

Looking forward to a wonderful experience.

 

Kendrick
