year, as a part of Patriot Voices, will not have to tryout again.
5. Does your child want to become
a part of Patriot Voices?
Here are some guidelines to help you decide. Do they have:
a. A love for singing and music.
b. A love of performing and being on stage.
c. A desire to be a part of a group that will work hard and yet
have fun and make great friendships along the way.
d. Attending weekly rehearsals that will be held on Tuesday after
school. (Snacks will be served each week)
e. Lots of standing and practice is a must!
f. A joyful heart, a willingness to showcase their talents, work
as a group. Of course, behavior cannot be a problem.

they need?
The Patriot Voices have a "formal" uniform that is
generally used during the Christmas Season. Girls: long red skirts,
white long sleeve shirts, P.V. vests, dress shoes and white socks.
