Dear 3rd, 4th, & 5th Grade Families,
It’s time for Choir at Emerald! In choir we learn about proper singing technique, reading music, and singing in an ensemble. We also have a lot of fun! Choir is open to all 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students at Emerald Elementary, and students do not need to audition to be a part of choir.
DATES TO KNOW
Choir will rehearse every Thursday from 3:00 - 3:45 in the music room
Rehearsals begin on Thursday, January 15th, 2025
Spring Choir Concert will be on April 2nd at 4:30 pm in the Cafeteria
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Choir is not part of Dragon School. There is no school provided transportation after Choir. All students will need to be picked up at 3:45. They will not be able to wait at school until a later time, or be in any Dragon School classes on Thursdays. Students may bring their own quick snack to eat before we sing - no snack will be provided.
SUPPORT
There is no required fee for choir.
If you are able - a donation of $10 helps us to purchase shirts, music, and pay an accompanist. Additional scholarship donations are also welcome.
PARTICIPATION:
Attendance is critical to our success, so students are expected to attend all rehearsals. Two or more unexcused absences may result in a student not being able to perform with the choir. If you know of a conflict, please contact Mrs. Sorbo in advance. Choir is for students who want to be a positive part of our musical community - making choices that support our ensemble is an expectation.
If your student is interested in joining this 10 week activity, please return the second page of this letter to Mrs. Sorbo. I can’t wait to sing with your students!
