Attendance at any choral concert is required. Missing a concert will lower a student's overall grade. Points for a concert will only be given to students with an excused absence. Makeup assignments might be given at the discretion of the director for excused absences only. Absences will only be excused in special situations, such as a medical/family emergency, religious holiday, death in the family, or prior arrangement/communication. If transportation is an issue, please communicate that so we can try and find a solution. In all cases student absence must be communicated prior to the concert. Note: non-school sponsored events do not constitute an excused absence for a required choral event and will not be allowed a makeup. Because of the nature of concerts, unexcused absences will result in a 0 and points can not be made up.
(25% term grade)
Performance outside of the school day is a necessary componenet of perfoming in choir. Attendance is required for all concerts and called rehearsals as they are a form of assessment in choir. Our concerts will be held on campus in the auditorium unless otherwise specified. Performance dates are listed on the calendar of events and any extra-choir activity dates will be given to students with adequate notice. One grade is given for performance and one grade is given for concert reflection. Factored into each concert grade category is the concert itself and the concert reflection.
Concert Grade will be broken into 4 categories: Attendance, Attire, Performance, Concert Etiquette
These categories are weighted at 25% each for a total of 100 points per performance. A student may lose points for any of the 4 categories at the discretion of the director.
