Course Description

Chorus I: A non-auditioned choir for students in the 9^th grade.  This class serves as a preparatory class for students desiring to be a part of the vocal music program.  This choir will participate in concerts and festivals during the school year.

Concerts

Attendance: Each choir will participate in three concerts during the school year.  These are the Fall Concert, Winter Concert, and Spring Concert.  THESE CONCERTS ARE REQUIRED AND ANY UNEXCUSED ABSENCE WILL RESULT IN THE STUDENTS GRADE BEING LOWERED A FULL LETTER GRADE.  Students who miss a required performance must bring a written note signed by a parent explaining the reason for the absence.  In addition to these performances the choirs may participate in music festivals in the Spring.  Attendance at these festivals will be at the discretion of the director.

            I look forward to working with you and creating an enjoyable experience through the gift of music.  I am much more concerned about attitude and effort than I am ability.  I demand that each student be on time, participate, and treat others with respect.  Students failing to meet these expectations will be removed from this class.
