Howard County Childrens' Chorus
Directors: Sharon Brown and Tasha Maglocci


Howard County Childrens' Chorus is an auditioned chorus of fourth and fifth graders with representation from the various public elementary schools in Howard County Public School System.  Students are challenged to learn a variety of music from various genres at an accelerated pace.  The chorus rehearses from September though May and performs two times a year.  Students who participate in this group must also participate in chorus at their elementary school.

Winter Concert Information

The children have been working very hard and we're looking forward to the upcoming concert.  I would like to give you a few reminders about this week's schedule:

CONCERT:
Sun., Dec. 4th
3:00 concert, 1:30 pm report time
Reservoir HS auditorium
Concert dress:  white short sleeve polos, black pants, dark shoes


Also, please make sure that your children are getting to rehearsals on time (i.e. ten minutes early).  In addition, we would like to make a plea for better attendance.  We have been having between 8 and 12 students absent for each rehearsal and are feeling as though this is a little excessive.  Ideally we would like to have 3 or less students absent from each rehearsal.  Every time someone misses a rehearsal, it impacts the whole group.  Having said that, we understand fully that students do get very ill and there are at times, unavoidable conflicts.  We would just like to ask everyone to evaluate carefully whether or not these absences are truly warranted.  As a reminder, if a student is absent more than 3 times from HCCC, they will be asked to leave the group.  We love all the children at HCCC and do not want anyone to miss out on this fantastic experience.

We also ask that you work with your child to make sure that all the music is memorized for the concert.  We particularly need them to work on Christmas Dance of the Shepherds and Ocho Kandelikas.  In addition, Still Silent Night could use a little work.  The students were asked to have all their music memorized upon their return from Thanksgiving, but these 3 songs were the ones that we were really struggling with last night.
