It's Concert Week!
The students have been working so hard to prepare for our final required concert of the season. We are so excited to present our Elements concert for you this Thur, May 2 @ 7:00p (Westminster Presbyterian). We've moved the start time back to 7:00pm to give everyone a little more time.
Call time for students (in concert black) is 5:00pm. Doors open to the public at 6:30pm.
Please consider sharing the graphic below with friends and family on your social media platforms to invite them to attend. We'd love to have a big audience for our last concert. We'll plan to keep it right at an hour.
Concert Attendance & Etiquette
Because we are a performance-based class, it should be understood that EVERY student needs to participate in EVERY concert. We work each semester to develop a unified sound and the absence of even one member can affect that sound in a negative way. In the case of a conflicting schedule on a concert date (such as a soccer game or other activity), the concert should be given the highest priority. The only excused reasons a student may ever miss a concert are:
Death in the immediate family
Serious illness (with a doctor’s note – a parent note is not enough to excuse a student from a concert due to illness)
Inclement Weather (serious enough to cause the event to be rescheduled)
Family Emergency (not having a ride is not considered an emergency)
All other absences will be considered unexcused and a zero concert grade will be awarded to the student (unless the student is allowed a make-up assignment – see section on Missed Performances).
The other part of the concert grade is etiquette.
In order to earn an “A” for the concert, students must:
Arrive to the concert venue at the scheduled time
Arrive wearing proper concert attire
Participate fully and to the best of their ability while their group is performing
Be a good audience while the other groups are performing
Stay for the entire concert
Lettering in Chorus:
