CMS Choir Department: 2019-20 Event Dates

Attendance for MANDATORY performances is, you guessed it, MANDATORY! Excused absences are limited to illness and major family emergencies. The running time for concerts is approximately 7:00-9:00 p.m. with a 30-minute warm-up rehearsal preceding the start of the concert. Tardiness for the warm-up (“call time”) will result in an automatic 10% reduction of the grade. Students are expected to support their peers and stay for the entire performance. Students who leave a performance early will have their grade reduced by 10%.

Participation in Honor Choirs is highly recommended but optional and by audition only. Details on the audition process will be shared at a later date.
