Review
As our season gets underway again, I hope you have had a wonderful summer with time to
enjoy friends and family. I can say the chorus staff has been very busy, both working for
FCC and taking time to vacation and travel. Seven of our chorus members sang at George
Mason University at the American Choral Directors’ Association (ACDA) Voices United
Conference Honor Chorus. Mrs. Wardell completed a Master of Education in Kodaly
Music degree at Loyola University and participated in a conducting master class at ACDA
Voices United. Mrs. Fuhr presented a reading session at ACDA Voices United. She and
Blair Hudnell maintained the office while Mrs. Ekanger travelled all over the world, including Maine and Alaska.
Mrs. DuBose enjoyed her first summer off in five years, but she was kept busy with numerous projects. Mrs.
Fuhr and Ms. Goldsmith recorded the rehearsal CD’s. Ms Goldsmith enjoyed a summer off, visiting her parents in
Alabama and going to the beach. Ms. DuBose managed two camps for FCC and assisted with the camp at All
Children’s Chorus of Annapolis. Mrs. Jackson (and the family) was treated to a cruise and took several short
trips. Ms. Crowder is planning a wedding. We’ve been working hard to recruit new members. Mrs. Fuhr and
Delaney Heurich recorded an ad that you may have heard on our local radio stations.
We had two very exciting summer camps thanks to our fabulous camp staff: Ann DuBose, Jenna Lebherz-Daly,
Anne Tyler, and Josh Caldwell. These four teachers introduced the summer campers to an exciting group of
African songs, enhanced with African folk-tales, African dance, mask making, costuming, and drumming. The
campers and staff shared their own experiences with African travel, including fabulous photos from a South
African Tour like the one FCC has planned. The performance was fabulous and all campers outdid themselves
with their enthusiastic singing, drumming, and dancing. Our campers were also invited to sing the concert again
at the FSK Mall during the Tots2Tweens Back to School Bash and at WestView Promenade.
There is much to look forward to in our 2013-2014 Season. We welcome our new members, and welcome back
our returning singers. Our Touring Ensemble will be preparing for several performances with rehearsals
beginning in September. Touring Ensemble has been invited to perform in the Gettysburg Children’s Chorus
Invitational Festival with the Gettysburg Children’s Chorus in November and Festival of Lights in Frederick in
December. Mrs. DuBose has been invited to give a presentation to choral directors in Baltimore at the ACDA
Eastern Division conference in February. She will need a small chorus to participate in the presentation. Concert
Chorus and Chamber Singers will participate in Maryland Young Voices Festival in Annapolis this year. Touring
Ensemble treble singers have been invited to sing in a rehearsal and performance of Carmina Burana by Carl Orff
(look it up! click on this link ) in March. There is a section for treble chorus. The Frederick Regional Youth
Orchestra (FRYO) and The Frederick Children's Chorus have met and discussed performing together this
season. We’ve also scheduled a very exciting all-day retreat in October at ThorpeWood in the Catoctin
Mountains. (http://thorpewood.org/)

chorus and sharing some of your experiences with school friends and neighbors. Invite them to contact us. All
the information they need is on the website (www.fredcc.org). For all of our efforts our Training Chorus is
much smaller than we’d like.

Music Pick-Up Night - Tuesday, August 20
Music Pick-Up Night will be held on August 20 at the E&R Church at 11 West Church Street in
downtown Frederick. Each group will begin with an annual parent meeting with Mrs. DuBose
upstairs in the sanctuary. Go straight up the large stairs at the front of the building and directly into
the sanctuary. Please be sure to attend on music pickup night. (The whole process generally takes
less than an hour.)
Please arrive at the parent meeting 5-10 minutes before the time scheduled for your singer’s chorus:
6:00
Training Chorus—Levels I and II
7:00
Concert Chorus
8:00
Chamber Singers
ALL parents are asked to attend! After the meeting, parents and singers will go downstairs to pick
up their music and practice CD, get sized for their uniforms, get their seating chart picture taken,
etc. (Please Note: Little Music Makers do not need to attend on this date. LMM materials will be
distributed in rehearsals.)
Singers will be assigned music to practice before the first rehearsal. You are expected to
turn in a practice log at the first rehearsal on Aug 27. A practice log will be included with your
music packet. Additional practice logs can be printed from the Forms page on our website
(fredcc.org). Parents, if you are unable to make this event due to back-to-school night, please e-mail
us to arrange to get your singer’s music.
Chamber Singers and Parent Volunteers:
Please notify Mrs. Ekanger via e-mail at
([email protected]) if you can help with the setup, table manning, and breakdown in the social hall
during Music Pick-Up Night. We need help starting at 5:00 and going until 9:00. If you can help for any
portion, please let us know!
Campers perform at the
Westview shopping center.
The E&R Church has
requested that we NOT
use the parking lot behind
the church. Please respect
their request—do not use
Mums Fundraiser
For the 11th year in a row, we will be selling mums as our fall fundraiser! This year we
will be buying from Behnke Nurseries. Mums will be $7 each and pansies will be $2.
Please see your enclosed order form for all the details about the plants.
The forms will be due at rehearsal on Sept 10. Pick-up will be on Sept 24 at the Rose
Hill Manor parking lot. We will need parent volunteers to assist with setup and
delivery from 4:30 until 6:00. The mums will then be available for pickup between
6:00 and 8:00 pm.
it for dropping off, picking
up, or any other reason.
Parking can be found on
the street and in the
nearby Court Street
Parking Garage.
Thank you !
Concert Wardrobe
All singers will be sized for wardrobe at Music Pick-up Night. The wardrobe will be received in
November shortly before the concert. In November, all singers must bring in their concert shoes to
be approved by Mrs. Husson. Guidelines for shoes can be found in the Info for Parents document on
the website. (They must be matte black and have a very low or no heel.)
Those who have grown or may need a slight alteration due to shoes should still be able to take their
uniform home at that time. You will then wear it to the concert in December. Training Chorus girls
will receive their first uniform blouse as part of their tuition. Any girls who have out grown their
first blouse must order a new one at their own cost. Please inquire at the costume table at Music
Pick-Up night if you need to do this! (We will also be holding a blouse exchange later in the fall to
help eliminate the need to buy new blouses.)
Training Chorus boys need to have a button down collared white oxford shirt to wear as part of
their uniform. They must also have a pair of BLACK dress slacks, socks and shoes.
If you still have any wardrobe from the last concert, please return it on music pick up night. If you
have any questions, you may contact Darleen Husson, the Wardrobe Committee Chair at 301-6986176.

Chorus Camp in Review
We thought we would jumpstart our enthusiasm for our South Africa trip in 2016 with an African musical themed summer camp this year.
Little did we know that we would be putting on the “best camp concert ever!,’ according to several parents who spoke to us after camp. If
you missed camp this year, you REALLY missed something special! Both camps were smaller in number than usual but our singers were
mighty in sound, skill, and enthusiasm. They learned music so quickly that extra songs had to be added and left-over rehearsal time needed
to be filled with more games and movie time.
Campers had a blast playing games with Josh Caldwell (aka Mr. Fun). Again this year he brought his own brand of silly to camp and the kids
just couldn’t get enough! Mrs. Daly returned again this year too, bringing positive strokes, professional attitude, big smiles, and pipes like
no other! We even got to lip-sync to her singing (some of the best unison singing we’ve ever done!). The biggest hit of all, though, was
Mrs. Tyler’s drumming workshops and Songs of Gahu! You have never seen faces light up as bright as they did this year when it was time
for drumming and dancing! Mrs. Tyler was non-stop rhythm, laughs, and magic fingers. She kept us all on our toes and we couldn’t have
achieved such successfully authentic music without her. And Miss DuBose, our camp mastermind, never imagined she’d have so much fun!
Campers showed up every day with positive attitudes, lots of energy to burn, and relentless curiosity for what we would do next. They
offered not just their musicality and friendship to each other and our staff but they had a big part in lending their creativity to our show.
They were true collaborators with great ideas to enhance our performances and wonderful showmanship to bring their ideas to their
audiences.
Let’s not forget our fantastic camp counselors! Whenever something needed to be done they jumped up and moved with a sense of
purpose. They were constantly anticipating our next steps and making sure we were ready without being asked. Whenever there was
down time, counselors would ask, “What can I do next?” We could not have had such wonderfully smooth transitions or quite so many
fun and intricately planned activities without their help in execution. Thank you counselors!
In addition to such a wonderful camp experience, campers from both camps (who weren’t on vacation) joined together on Saturday
August 3rd to give two stunning performances for the general public at the FSK Mall’s “Back to School Bash” and outside the Westview
Movie Theater. Despite weather delays and lack of electricity at one venue which caused us to have to improvise on the spot, they
performed with professionalism and showmanship beyond their age. We are very proud of all the singers who participated and so
handsomely represented the Frederick Children’s Chorus! Way to go!
Full Chorus Retreat at Thorpewood—Save the Date!
This year we have a very special retreat planned. It will be on Friday, October 25. There is no school that day in
Frederick Public Schools. We will be at ThorpeWood Retreat in the Catoctin Mountains. Our day will include
rehearsals, workshops with guest leaders, and outdoor activities (weather permitting ). Carpool information and
additional details will follow in the October Treble Voice. This retreat is an all-day event for all chorus
members. Attendance is mandatory for anyone who does not have school scheduled that day.
We realize some of our out-of-county and private school students will be unable to attend. The facility has
limited availability. We hope to repeat this on a Saturday in the future as the facility becomes available.

If you know anyone who might be interested, please have them e-mail us as [email protected] for
a registration form and more information. This form can also be found on our website. Little Music Makers
tuition is $200 per 12 week semester or $350 for the year. Tuition includes instruction, materials and a tshirt. Class size is limited to 20 and we anticipate filling two sections again this year. Reserve your spot
now, classes fill quickly.
The Chorus in the Community
Volunteer committee
assignments will be
changing some this year.
We have re-evaluated
our needs for volunteers,
so you will be asked to
fill out a new volunteer
form at Music Pick-up
Night. WE will then
email you to notify you
of your new committee
assignment.
On August 3rd, a group of our campers from this year’s African Safari themed camp had the opportunity
to perform at FSK’s Back to School Bash. The were able to perform several of the numbers they learned
at camp through singing, dancing, and drumming. Shoppers were treated to a great concert that morning!
The chorus also had a table in the mall’s center court where we were able to make the community more
aware of everything we have to offer.
The group then moved from the mall over to WestView to perform outdoors in front of the movie
theatre. We appreciate the support of all the singers and parents who were able to attend and help out
at the concerts and at our table.
On September 14, the chorus will be participating in Frederick City’s In the Street event. For over 25
years the In The Street festival has been held in downtown Frederick. The all day festival, spanning Market
Street from Carroll Creek to 7th Street, brings food, fun and entertainment for the whole family. We
will have a booth where attendees can learn more about the chorus and also participate in a music based
activity and craft. We love to have our chorus members support these events and will be asking for your
Fall Family Social—Gaver Farm Pumpkin Patch
We will be holding our fall chorus family social on October 5th from 6 to 9 pm at the
Gaver Farm Pumpkin Patch. If you were able to attend last year, then you know how
much fun this event is! The farm’s activities include a jumping pillow, a corn maze,
and a great slide.
Check out their website for all the details : http://
www.gavertreefarm.com/FallFestival.htm. The event will be $6 per person and we
ask that each family contribute a dish to our potluck dinner. We will end the evening with some singing
around the bonfire. Bring your guitar if you play! We look forward to seeing you all there! See the
attached flier for all the details.
Scrip and iGive Fundraising Programs
Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”. When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing
negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to
purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every gift card
purchased, you earn revenue for our organization.
Scrip is a popular fundraiser because families don’t have to sell anything. Organization
members produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would make anyway.
Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip. Many families use
scrip to purchase holiday gift cards to give as gifts to others. Don't buy them at the grocery
store gift card wall, but them through the chorus and we get a cut! Talk to Mrs. Ekanger at Music Pick-Up
Night to learn more. Monthly, scrip forms can be found at the Check-In table at rehearsals, or you can email
Mrs. Ekanger at [email protected] for the most up to date form. The first purchase deadline will be
October 8.
We are also continuing our participation with the iGive program. If you shop for anything online, iGive can
help the chorus while you're doing your normal shopping! You can either shop directly through the
iGive.com website, or you can download their web app which automatically detects if the website you're
shopping on is an iGive participant and automatically registers your purchase on the chorus' behalf. If you
have any purchases that you plan to make online, please visit www.iGive.com/fredcc to see if your merchant
participates, download the app, and see how your purchase can benefit the chorus!

Concert Dates
Our winter concert will be held December 1, 2013 at the Weinberg Center. Our spring concert will be on May 10, 2014
at the Weinberg Center.
There will be mandatory rehearsals during each concert week. Please block off the entire week on your
calendar until we have confirmed with the facilities which days we will be able to hold rehearsals. Please
remember: The only acceptable absence from a mandatory rehearsal is a graded school performance such as band,
orchestra, or chorus. Non-graded performances do not qualify as acceptable absences and any singer who misses a
mandatory rehearsal for something other than a graded performance will not be allowed to perform in the concert.

All singers in the treble chorus and some chamber singers are required to enroll in the musicianship program in order to
improve his/her sight-reading and musicianship skills. Sight Reading is a learned and practiced skill. It is valuable to singers and street from the
instrumentalists. It speeds the music learning process and enhances a singer’s ability to memorize complex music.
Musicianship skills are necessary to sing music written in two or more vocal part, improve accuracy, and a musicianship test is E&R Church).
included in every All-State Chorus, college music school, and professional adult chorus audition.
Classes begin Tuesday, August 27, 2013. All classes are held in the Trinity Chapel across the street from the E&R Church. Please arrive 5
-10 minutes early in order to sign-in, receive instructions, check off homework, and participate in the warm-up activity. Singers who are
consistently late may have to attend additional musicianship time to make up their missed activities. Singers who do not attend
musicianship regularly may not be eligible to perform in the concert, as it is part of the contract you sign when you make your annual
commitment.
The attendance policy for musicianship is the same as for chorus rehearsals. You are allowed 2 absences in the fall and 3 in the spring,
for any reason. Any more absences than that will result in needing to be tested to ensure you are keeping up. Like any skill, sight-reading
is best learned and practiced at regular intervals. Repetition and drills are necessary. While we expect you to practice the drills at home,
we also have fun warm-up activities that reinforce your skills in a game-like setting. We give prizes for achievement in front of the group
and help those who try and aren’t immediately successful so they can win a prize next time. Don't be late to class or you will miss all the
fun! The cost of musicianship is included in tuition and covers the materials and instructors’ preparation time.
