Fundraising is vital for the success of our Choir program. Even more so this year because this year the funds will be used to send each student to New York, NY to perform at Carnegie Hall March 3-7, 2023. Each participant has a monetary goal of $3000. Please consider donating and sharing via social media so that they may reach it. Thank you so much for your support. Go Lobos!
See below for more details about our ambition and raising funds.
"Have you ever sung in a group setting? Whether you sang in harmony, or not, an interesting physiological thing occurred, and chances are – you didn’t even know it. Your heart began to beat in unison with those with whom you sang.
BUILDING OUR CONNECTION… when we sing together, we connect. When the Longview High School Choir performs or rehearses a song, something very special happens beyond the melodious sound of the music. When we sing together, we breathe together. As we breathe together, our hearts begin to beat together. As the rhythms of our hearts pace in sync, we connect. Several medical studies support this notion of connectivity through music. Specifically, performing music, rather than listening to music, seems to be potent with the release of endorphins in our brains and explains this magical cohesiveness that is experienced when performing. When we sing together, we connect on a deeper physiological level that makes for an exhilarating experience.
The Longview High School Choir has received a distinct and select invitation to attend and participate in the Festival at Carnegie Hall – National Youth Mass Choir, from March 03, 2023 to March 07, 2023. The National Youth Mass Choir will be made up of several high school choirs from around the country and will rehearse and perform under the tutelage of two world-renowned conductors, Mr. Anton Armstrong and Mr. Andre Thomas. This level of proven expert instruction at the great and historic Carnegie Hall will be an elite level of achievement for the participating choir members. We believe this invitation to participate reflects our local successes and provides an opportunity to expand our connectivity nationally.
In addition to participating in this musical event, the choir members will experience two Broadway Shows and multiple ticketed and non-ticketed sights. These sight-seeing excursions, the music and instruction from these two world-renowned conductors, the performance at the historic Carnegie Hall, and the experience of BUILDING OUR CONNECTION nationally are all sure to be an experience of a lifetime. Again, we are more than excited for this opportunity!
The Carnegie Hall experience is being organized and booked by WorldStrides. This company specializes in student educational travel and is accompanied with the largest and most comprehensive insurance policy in the student travel industry. They have arranged for bus travel to and from a Dallas airport, flights to and from New York, transportation to and from the hotel, 5 days and 4 nights hotel accommodations in a Manhattan hotel, coordination of all sight-seeing and ticketed planned events, rehearsal and performance agenda, commemorative Audio CD and program poster, professional group and individual photos, Certificate of Achievement and plaque, most meals, and a sincere piece of mind!
All services are being provided for a fee of $2,400.00 per child. Our goal is to provide the financial support to make this magical opportunity a reality for the 76 enrolled choir members, the honorable choir director (Mrs. Melody McMullen), and 8 accompanying chaperones. The total price tag for such of an achievement is just over $200,000. We are aware that this is a substantial amount of money to raise, and every donation goes 100% to the funding of this once in a lifetime experience for these students.
This is an amazing opportunity for these students to learn more about our country, gain new perspectives, get out of their comfort zone, and build skills for the future. Attached is a spreadsheet that shows the tier level sponsorships for your consideration. Please join us in supporting the students’ growth and development as they make memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you kindly for your time and consideration."
