Every student is invited to join chorus. Singing in chorus gives your child a wonderful opportunity to perform in an ensemble while building upon concepts generated in the general music classroom. We perform two concerts a year, one in the winter and one in the spring.
At the beginning of the school year, parents may go to the online sign up form which will need to be filled out with contact information, student home room and grade level. The information provided will help me communicate with parents regarding rehearsal attendance, performances and other announcements. Students may join in January if they did not join in September.
Morning chorus rehearsal begins after the buses arrive and runs from 8:45 to 9:10 a.m.; students are then dismissed to their homerooms. Chorus rehearsals will not conflict with morning language classes. Students who participate in language class will be dismissed from their class to attend chorus at 8:45 a.m.
PLEASE NOTE: There is absolutely no conflict with orchestra/band lessons and chorus. Instrumental lessons run during the day with ensemble rehearsals after school. More than half of our chorus students also perform in an instrumental ensemble.
3rd grade chorus - Tuesday mornings beginning September 9th.
4th grade chorus - Monday and Thursday mornings beginning September 4th.
5th grade chorus - Wednesday and Friday mornings beginning September 3rd.
Students are expected to be aware of their rehearsal days,
adults will always be available to remind children of their rehearsal times.
A successful performance depends on your child being present at every chorus rehearsal. A student will be permitted to drop out of chorus only after I have received written permission from a parent.
***Parents will be notified if their child is absent from chorus on a daily basis. Mr. Lenderman may withdraw any student from chorus with excessive absences: 4 rehearsals(3rd Grade chorus) or 6 rehearsals(4th/5th grade chorus). Of course parents will be consulted. If your child is in school, attendance at rehearsal is expected.
Be sure to reserve the following concert dates for your child-
It is imperative that all chorus members participate in the concerts.
