If your child has an interest in or a talent for singing, please consider signing him or her up for chorus. This ensemble experience is a wonderful opportunity for children to explore their voices and develop a lifetime love of music.
Fifth Grade Chorus meets every Wednesday that school is in session, from 10:45-11:30. Students may be pulled out for an additional rehearsal before the winter and spring concerts. Chorus members are expected to come prepared to rehearsal, and to memorize all music. Students are required to attend the winter concert, which is scheduled for Thursday, January 11, 2018, at 7 pm at Bellows Spring. The snow date is Thursday, January 18. The spring concert has been scheduled for Thursday, May 17, 2018. Parents will be notified in advance of any additional performance opportunities that may arise.
It is important to note that while chorus is a lot of fun, it is also hard work. Students are expected to attend all rehearsals and performances, and to demonstrate appropriate behavior at all times. Please discuss this commitment with your child before enrolling him or her in the program. Once your child is enrolled in chorus, he or she will be expected to remain in the program at least through the winter concert. Please understand that students will not be permitted to withdraw mid-semester.
