Dear 5th Grade Families,

We are excited that your student is interested in joining next year's 6th Grade Beginning Choir!  Choir is an activity that everyone can join, and with some support from home (and some work from your student), choir can be a place that your student can succeed, all while developing skills like self-confidence, perseverance, and creativity.  In choir class, students find a safe place where they can be themselves, laugh out loud, and be expressive, all during the same class period!  

In case you missed the information packet (mailed home to all non-orchestra 5th graders), here is the packet:

• Complete Beginning Choir Packet 2025

• Introduction and Welcome Letter

• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Choir Class & Club Registration Form

The 1st Step to Joining Choir

•  Fill out the Choir Registration Form and return it to your school.  Alternatively, you can fill out this Google Form to sign up. 

• 6th grade Students have the opportunity to join either a Beginning Band Class OR Beginning Choir Class. Students can participate in both classes starting in 7th Grade, but students can ONLY join Band in 6th grade. There are Afterschool Choir clubs for 5-6th grade students, who are not able to be in a Choir class. To Pre-Register for the Afterschool Choir Club, please fill out the Registration Form above.

•  If you have questions, we have a couple ways to contact us:

  • • Mrs. Garrett at LIS, or Ms. Marquez at WIS

    • Contact the Chesterton Music Office (219) 983-3758.
