General Information:

Welcome to choir at KCS!

This has been quite a strange year in general and the performing arts are more important than ever in your child's life and emotional health. We find community in our time together and connect when we hear each other's voices and collaborate to make harmony. While we must use face coverings regularly while singing, I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the wonderful sound that we can still make. It will make that moment without face coverings even more glorious!! Thank you for supporting our safety in class as we strive to follow guidelines established by our board and administration.

Email, and this website, are my primary tools for communicating details for the many choral department events scheduled throughout the year. Here you will find upcoming deadlines and events on the home page, a current concert calendar for the entire year, and a specific page for each choir. Please bookmark or favorite it, and refer to it as needed throughout the school year.

Feel free to reach out to me by email or voicemail if you have any questions.

See you soon!

Upcoming Events and Deadlines:

Policies Due:

As you receive the due date for your child's policy guide, please be sure to read it (it can be found on their class page) and fill out the google form indicating you have seen our dates and policies.

Choirs on Teams!

Each choir class has their own team and has been using it for class quizzes since the start of the year. This should help us with any future e-learning as we will be familiar with the format and function. Moving forward, we will be adding one more platform specific to music called MusicFirst. A one year subscription to this program is $13 per student. The representatives are currently setting up this online platform and your child should be utilizing it for class very soon.

Contests/Concerts 2020-21

Please be sure to check your child's choir page and the Google Calendar for all up to date required and voluntary performances this semester. KCS administration will make final decisions about concert dates, based on current state, local, and board recommendations, approximately 2 weeks out from each event. I will be sure to update you regularly.

The next required performance for all choirs is the Christmas Concert tentatively set for Monday, December 7, at 7:00pm.

All students should wear concert dress. We will be ordering our music department polos in late September or early October. Fifth Grade Choir parents have this cost included in tuition. Students in 6th, 7th, or 8th Grade Choir need to check to see if their child's currently owned shirt still fits. New students and returning students who need to order shirts will be given a link with sizing information.
