Welcome to Choir for the 2021-2022 school year!
My name is Robbie Sparkman, and I am the choir director for Madisonville High School and Junior High School. This is my 19th year teaching in public schools. I graduated from Texas Tech where I majored in Music Education, and attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, studying church music and vocal music. I also taught computer courses in several tech schools before returning to the music classroom in 2005.
I am very excited to be here in Madisonville. So far, I'm finding this to be a wonderful place to live, work and teach. I hope that we can have a wonderful year in the choir program, have a lots of fun, and bring home some awards.
All students have received the Choir Handbook for 2021-2022. There are 3 pages at the back which must be returned to me, signed by parents and students. They are due on Friday, 8/27/2021. Please turn them in ASAP.
The choir fee for this year is $25, due by 9/10/2021.
We will begin our first fundraiser on Thursday, 9/2/2021. We will be selling high-quality rolls of trash bags. There are 50 bags on each roll. They are 1.3 mil and 33 gallon trash bags that will sell for $15/roll. People love these bags and always ask for them again once they've used them up. Students will have an order form with a small sample of the bags for demonstration. They will have 2 weeks to sell as many as they can. Orders will be available for pickup before and after our fall concert on October 25.
