Encore WILL Meet Tomorrow

Hello Encore Families:

The parking lot is quite slick this evening and wanted to warn-so you can proceed with caution when walking/driving in.   Please don’t take any chances if you are worried about roads.  

There is a back driveway with a lesser incline, and you can find it with the following directions:

Just east of the main driveway on 6th street  (between 1st Southern and HyVee Fast and Fresh) turn north/right off of 6th street onto Eldridge and then left on Eldridge/Overland.  It may appear to be a dead end but turns south into the north entrance of the parking lot.  

Spring is coming .........

Encore will not meet tomorrow - February 18th

 Due to weather issues, and the parking lot, we will have to cancel all Encore groups for Friday, February 18th  

Encore will postpone the beginning of the spring semester until 1/28.

 Hello Families,

An email was sent out to all the Encore families, regarding the need to cancel the rehearsal for 1/21. If you are an enrolled family, and didn't receive that email, please let me know - hsmom@sbcglobal.net.

Due to continued illness, all groups will not meet this Friday - 1/21.  

All groups will meet the following week - 1/28.

Thank you for your patience. 

Encore will not meet January 14th, as planned - due to illness

 Due to illness, Encore will postpone the beginning of second semester, for one week. Groups will meet next Friday, January 21st, for the beginning of the spring semester, at our new location - 4300 W. 6th St - in Lawrence. 

New Year - New Location

 Happy New Year!

We have news for the New Year!  Encore is officially moving to a new location.  We begin our second semester at The First Southern Baptist Church - 4300 W. 6th St - in Lawrence. This change begins on the first day of second semester, January 14th, for in-person classes. It is late notice, but hopefully everyone will get word about our move. 

An email has been sent out, with a lot of information for the first day back, and a form to print/sign and return. If you are an enrolled family and didn't receive the email, please let me know and I will get the information sent to you.

Please pass this information along to those that may not follow this site or our facebook page.

Thanks everyone!

Recital for 12/3/21 has been rescheduled

 Hello families,

I am very sorry to get this message out so late-but I have been sick all week and I am, just to be frank, feeling even worse this evening than a day or two ago.. I took two Covid tests which came back negative, but still I have caught something that I feel is going to keep me from being able to participate tomorrow. I waited to try and see if things would improve and I am very sorry.

There is a bright spot, though, the church is willing to reschedule us to next Friday 12/10, all the same details including rehearsal times. Please know that this has never (in 25 plus years) happened to me before so I am truly sorry. But I want the kids to have a good experience.

Thanks,

Lauri Bernet

All groups, including band/strings, will not meet tomorrow. The directors will see you on December 10th.

Christmas Recital

Hello Encore Families,

We have a date and a location set for our Christmas Recital.  

Mark your calendar for Friday, December 3rd. The recital will be held at 

Christ Community Church - 1100 Kasold, at 7pm. Encore members will be 

asked to arrive earlier, to organize and warm up.

The last rehearsal of the semester, will be December 3rd as well. There will 

be a dress rehearsal held at Christ Community Church that day, in preparation 

for the recital that evening. There will be more information about what time to 

arrive for both the rehearsal and the recital, as the date gets closer. 

For new families - kids dress in concert black and white for the recitals. It typically 

means black pants or skirts, with a white shirt or top. In the past, we have had kids 

wear all black, or all white, as well. If your child doesn't have that type of outfit already, 

please don't buy new clothes. 

I am hearing glowing remarks about how well the semester is going, and how well the 

kids are doing. Thank you for sharing your kids with Encore, we love that your family is 

participating in our group.
