Welcome to the LBJH Choir. This program is one in which students will work towards building leadership skills while working towards singing with one sounds as an ensemble!
Last year brought many struggles and meant that music was much more restricted! Now, with Covid hopefully subsiding more, we as a choir are going to continue returning to form and doing what really matters to us!
This year we will learn how to:
Better understand our own voices
Perform as a group with one consistent sound
Play music of varying styles and cultural backgrounds
Set a level of excellence that shows our skill
And,
Build a community/family where we look out for and help uplift each other
While in the band/choir room there is no food or drinks. The only allowed drink in the
band/choir room is water. This is because we want to keep our room clean. GUM WILL
NEVER BE ALLOWED IN THE BAND/CHOIR ROOM!!!!
● The band/choir room doors will open 5 minutes before the first bell every day. There will
be a few exceptions. When the doors are open you are free to come into the classroom to
start getting set up for rehearsal. Music will be playing every morning up until we get
started; this will either be the song we are rehearsing that day or some relaxing music to
listen to while you get ready. The moment I turn the music off you need to be in your
seat, ready to begin class.
● There is to be no playing around in the band/choir room. We want to make sure that all of
our equipment is safe and doesn’t need to worry about any early demise! This means that
you are NOT allowed to play on any of the percussion equipment unless you have been
given permission.
● After rehearsal make sure you put away your equipment before leaving class. I will
always give you at least 3 minutes at the end of the period to do so! This means putting
your music binder in its cubby. At the end of the school day make sure to come and pick
your music before you leave. (How else would you practice?)
● Clothing left in the band/choir room will be left on the table next to the door for 1 day
after being picked up. After that time has passed it will be moved to the school’s lost and
found.
● PDA (public displays of affection) is not permitted in the band/choir room at any time.
Wait until you have left the band/choir room!
