When:
Every Thursday morning from 7:45 a.m. - 8:15 a.m.
Parent drop-off should be at the Burchard parking lot on the north side of the building. Students may enter the school beginning at 7:40 a.m. through door 9 by the gym and report directly to the music room with their coats, backpacks, etc. Students are not to stop at their lockers before choir!
Our first choir rehearsal will be on Thursday, September 24th. Please feel free to join the following week if you miss the first practice.
Requirements:
Be on time for rehearsals (7:40 a.m. sign-in).
This is very important, as we move quite fast in choir. Arriving late can cause students to miss warm ups and important announcements.
Attend all rehearsals and concerts unless excused (A written note, Remind message, or an e-mail to: spugia@egrps.org).
Commit to the group!
Use critical thinking and good musicianship during each rehearsal.

If they have any questions, they may talk to Mrs. Benham (through October) or let Ms. Pugia know. It is possible to do both!
