  • Why has nobody changed this masthead the ENTIRE YEAR?! Fascism!
    GENTLE SUGGESTION: Go to bed early and wake up early. You'll be happier that way.
    You're all going to kick some serious choral trash this year at tour and win a lot of trophies. I feel it.

    Information

    Mackenzie Kunz

    Dear Choir Students,

    In order to keep you informed I ask that you please make sure you are receiving the text and emails. I am so surprised that so many have not taken care off this problem yet, and it’s third quarter. I cannot do my job properly if you don’t take care of it. Thanks.

    Eric Whitacre’s Virtual Choir: Lux Aurumque

    Jordan Spencer Cunningham

    Hello, dear West Jordan High School childrens (I say childrens because anyone younger than I am in a child. Sorry. It’s simply a fact of existence).

    Eric Whitacre, the genius who wrote the song that you know and love (you know you love it) as Lux Aurumque, among other pieces such as Sleep, Water Night, and Nox Aurumque, is putting together something that is rather typical of him, and when I say typical, I mean genius, as he is typical of genius works. He is putting together a “virtual choir” of sorts to sing Lux Aurumque.

    Who can be a part of said choir? And how is it done?

    Anyone can be a part of it providing he or she can carry a tune and follow Mister Whitacre’s directions well enough. One also has to be comfortable with posting a video of him or herself that portrays him or her singing by him or herself (you’ll have headphones to listen to the parts as well as a video of Mister Whitacre conducting you).

    Does this sound like something you’d be interested in? I expect you all to do this!

    Read about it and get the video you need from this link. Though you already have the music, you can download the music in individual parts via this link.

    See you… online!

    PS: I started a vicious rumor about me getting my mission call to Copenhagen, Denmark. Don’t believe it or else I’ll laugh to your demise (I have laughed to many people’s demise as it is, and boy– is it glorious fun!). I haven’t gotten my call yet, but when I do, you will know.  If it’s to Denmark, I will sing praises. If it’s not, I will still sing praises as it mattereth not where I am sent, only that I am sent and that I go.

    Please return music from years past

    Kade Christlieb

    Hey all choirs even soph. We are missing music ( alot of music ) from last year and years past. I need this music dearly so I can start re-counting our music. If you didn’t attend WJHS last year but you have had older brother or sisters in the choir program and know they have music that is not theirs but it belongs to the choirs please bring it to me ( or any choir pres. ) I am by the choir doors each morning and at lunch ( A Lunch ) I also have choirs for 3rd and 6th.

     

                                                                     Thanks So Much,

                                                                                                             Kade Christlieb

    My Last Dying Breath

    Jordan Spencer Cunningham

    Hello, all. It’s Jordan Spencer Cunningham. Some of you may know me as your friendly neighborhood treasurer for sophomore year, while others junior year. I daresay some of you know of me as that annoying Danish boy who wouldn’t stop sending emails. Others may have been too caught up in high school to remember me at all. That’s all right. I’ll rule the world one day, so you can get to know me then.

    I’d just like to leave my legacy with you through two things.

    The first is my beloved treasury database. I designed this database from a template originally made to keep track of business assets and conformed it to WJHS choir department purposes and so that you could receive periodical updates as to your accounts. A lot of work went into that database (not to mention into entering records and sending you updates), so it was with scrutiny that I passed it on to the treasurer for 2009-2010, Mackenzie Kunz. I have talked a lot with her the past week or two and have gotten to know her better, and I would like to assure you all that she is a very capable treasurer and will serve you well. She will most definitely wield my database the way it was meant. I only hope future treasurers will do the same.

    The second is this website. I’ve put together this little website for all current and future presidencies as well as Kelly D to use as they deem worthy. It will also be the new hub for downloading music– and guess what’s special about this particular hub that all other hubs in this, the United States of America, never had? You may now download .zip files! If you’re unfamiliar with basic tech terminology, a .zip file is basically a compressed folder that holds many other files at once. Now you can download the music of each choir instead of each song individually. These .zip files will be automatically deleted when they haven’t been downloaded for 60 days, so download them now if you’re going to at all. Individual MP3 files will stay online permanently.

    This website is generously hosted for free under Idiosyncratic Protectional Field³’s domain, ipfcubed.com (which is generously hosted for free on osnews.com’s server, which is generously maintained by Jon the spectacular sysadmin). I’ll help with whatever is needed here and maybe even write a post here from time to time (providing I have something worthwhile and related to WJHS to share with you), but I’ll try to stay out of the new generation’s way as much as possible.

    **finishes writing this lengthy post and begins to rot away**

    (if you haven’t heard the old adage, it goes as so: “[Treasurers] never die; they just rot away.”
