WELCOME to CHOIR!
Liscano Choir (4th & 5th Grade Only)
We are so excited to be able to once again have the Liscano Choir this year!
Choir is a great opportunity for students to increase their musical skills and to sing with their friends. It has been proven that singing together increases bonds between people and improves social and educational skills.
All 4th and 5th grade students are eligible to participate in the Liscano Choir. Auditions will be required, graded on a rubric, and held on September 12th, 13th, 16th, and 17th.
There will be 25 4th grade students, and 25 5th grade students selected for choir.
After all auditions take place, results will be emailed home.
The Liscano Choir will be split for 4th grade rehearsals and 5th grade rehearsals. Some rehearsals may be combined before an upcoming performance.
4th Grade Choir: rehearses on Tuesday mornings from 7:15 AM - 7:40 AM in the music room
5th Grade Choir: rehearses on Thursday mornings from 7:15 AM - 7:40 AM in the music room
I will meet students in the back of the school at 7:10 AM and walk them down to the music room at 7:15 AM. Please note that if a student arrives late, there will not be anyone to let them into the school until 7:20. If a student is late, they may still join us for choir. Students will be dismissed at 7:40 to go to class.
Rehearsals begin the week of September 23rd, 2024
I expect students to be on their best behavior during choir rehearsals and as we travel throughout the community.
With only one rehearsal per week, it is important that students are present at all rehearsals. We may only have 5 or 6 rehearsals to prepare an entire concert. Please make sure your students are at rehearsals and on time :)
I am still building the calendar. You will be able to find an updated calendar on the Liscano Specials Website. Confirmed performances are:
Combined Concert with Elementary feeders into Nelson MS
Merry Main Street Concert
Combined Choir and Drum Club Concert at Liscano Elementary
Texas Legends Basketball Performance
COST
There will be a cost for choir this year to cover the cost of their choir t-shirt (same as the blue shirt from last year). If you have the blue choir t-shirt from last year, you will not be required to purchase the t-shirt again. You will receive an email when it is time to pay through Online School Fees.

AUDITION MATERIAL
Students will be asked to sing through the first verse of America, The Beautiful. This will be practiced in class, but if students would like more practice here is a link to the video I will be using: https://youtu.be/mGKgwB734P4?feature=shared
